It’s been one of those days when not everything goes to plan. I left the house but forgot an essential component. Didn’t realize it until I was near the bus stop. On my way to the bus I missed at least 2 buses.

It has been one of those days, positive is that I made a good connection today. All is not lost. I got a sandwich that I enjoyed at home & picked up some flowers that brighten the living room.

The weather has been meh with wind. It’s not cold but the wind surely makes it feel that way & it’s a dark day today. I was happy it didn’t rain hard today. That would have made the errand running a bit easier.

Oh & I forgot to get my bangs cut, will have to wait. One of those days I guess???

So, I just heard from AG’s office & because of the gov shut down they as they said can’t compel them to reimburse me the full amount.

Which means @ExpediaMediaGroup managed to get away with fraud. They reimbursed me exactly half when I had bought cancellation policy when I booked my room in London.

Did I mention that they’re bombarding my inbox with spam. Like I’d book Anything with them again. They send me both spam from their Norwegian site & the American.

I think what @ExpediaMediaGroup did to me is symptomatic of websites without a soul. I am sure the website staff I spoke with was in India. They had a script & are not equipped to handle a real complaint.

No, $292 is a token & shows how little they value their own policies they sell to customers incl. the cancellation policy they refused to honor with me.

Shame on you @ExpediaMediaGroup.

It’s now NYE & the neighborhood is full of bangs. With a dog you don’t look forward to NYE because you know your dog will spend the night fearing for his life.

Scaring dogs is not nice or good. Hence, why I am over fireworks. You’re Not Special you just are not grown up.

I feel for my dear dog that has been cowering in the basement for the last 2 hours. I wish I could make it go away I just can’t & that makes me sad.

I don’t find fireworks anything but bangs & the once that mirror gun fire I like even less. No, I am happy it’s 2019 but you won’t find my husband beating his chest, no he baked pizza & is now making banana bread.

Because life is more than throwing money away to ring in the New Year.
