Mel’s cousin recently had a baby and I sent a gift that was supposed to arrive today. When Mel and I started dating we use to always eat late at night. When we were in Toronto we use to frequently go out for midnight crepes. Mel’s sister and cousins always wanted to come but they would fall asleep before midnight came or were too tired. As they got older they would take naps and then come out with us. We would also break tradition and go out slightly earlier so it was not exactly midnight crepes. I decided to order her a crepe cake from a well known spot. It was shipped on the 27th from New York and on the 29th it was in New Jersey with a supposed delivery date today on Friday. Looking at the tracking it was still in New Jersey and never left. It annoys me when deliveries do not happen when they are supposed to especially with perishable goods. When Mel and Iived in Toronto I was a GTA and would have a friend in Sudbury express overnight mail me assignments for me to mark so I would get them by 8am and then I would mail them back at the end of the day for 8am as well. Our apartment was ground floor and we had massive floor to ceiling, 10 foot high windows facing out to the front where we could see anyone coming in. I remember seeing notifications at 8am that delivery was attempted and no answer so they went back. I was livid and called immediately calling them out. As soon as I saw the notification that a delivery was attempted and there was no answer I called. If you pay more for overnight guaranteed delivery by 8am it does not make sense that you would not be available for it. I have a very low tolerance for incompetence.
Tonight we went to the annual Fire & Ice game between the Police and Firefighters. Xavier’s goalie coach is a firefighter so we often go watch this when we can. Watching the games it was clear that the Police team were far superior, but it was interesting when we were watching with one of the friends that shoots on Xavier. He did not blame the goalie for any of the goals as they were not ideal situations for him. Xavier and I watched and thought that they were all situations that he had to make the saves. The team in front was not strong, so you need to make those saves that you are not supposed to. Inferior team in front? So what. Figure it out and make those saves to win it. It is interesting how viewpoints can be so drastic.
I started off this morning eating quite well. I had my homemade crumpet, a fried egg and 2 sliced of bacon without an issue. I drank my coffee and was fine and did not get a chance to eat again until after lunch. At this point I had half of my burger from yesterday and there was not an issue. I felt fine and everything from my point of view was moving swimmingly. 90 minutes later i threw up thick mucous again and then every thing was fine. I need to figure out why this is happening and I am not sure if I really want to know the answer to it. At least it is not good, but it is still a bit of a concern for me. When we were at the hockey game i ate some fries, had some popcorn and drank a cherry slush with out issue. So I can not figure out what the pattern is for triggering these symptoms. There is not a clear indicator on why it happens as it is quite delayed. Documentimg my food choices has not revealed anything as of yet. This weekend I am going to try a more liquid diet of soup and check the impact. It may digest more readily.
