Frustrating!

As I'm still waiting to be able to post more pics, let me just complain for a moment.

For anyone thinking I'm leading a life of leisure, I can assure you, it is hardly that exciting.  London is an exciting city to be sure, but most days I'm at home. On the days I have no reason to NOT sight-see and still hang at home, well, I really have nothing to say for myself.  But on the days when I need to be home for various reasons, it is extremely frustrating when I miss those various reasons.  Take today: I had ordered dog food.  Something seemingly easy to order online and get delivered.  But no.  NOT EASY.  I know it's going to get delivered in about 48 hours, but there is no way in this country to track your package.  So, I sit around doing absolutely nothing until Chewie gets restless and demands his daily walk.  Then, we are gone for about a half hour, maybe 45 mins and in that amount of time, someone tries to deliver the package to no avail.  Let me run through this again: We get no confirmation of delivery time/date; there isn't a call to let me know the package is on it's way; they will not leave anything at the door, and; my only option is to let them try to deliver it tomorrow.  I will be held hostage in this house until this stupid dog food comes!

Another annoyance while I'm at it: Our shipment of our US home goods has yet to come. Supposed to come today.  Now they say Thursday. I will believe it when I see it.  Which will just add to the number of days I will be hanging around the house.  Adding to it all, Gavin is traveling for work tonight and will travel again next week.  I can just about handle being alone all day when I know Gavin will be home for dinner.  But I'm on my own tonight.  Ugh.  Frustrating.

p.s. I think this is what it means to "blog."
