arriving via UPS... except yesterday, when a big box of 4 12 packs of diet coke was left outside my gate by the post office.

But nothing is 2nd day. And I have prime. My Prime Pantry is already over a week and a half late. And may not get here to June 1st?

It took over a week for me to receive even one item from any of the orders I placed. ALl on the same day. It's a weird world right now.

But I finally have a handle on how to deal with the timing. So I will be able to manage future orders better.

Yesterday I received all my JD Robb books, YEAH! Six or seven as there is one not yet released this year - new books to read in a few months... when I get to the number 55 then I will start on the new ones. What a lovely thought.

But at least Chewy seems to be doing better - 3rd day delivery works for me. It was a order of a number of smaller items... I'm not sure if larger orders would be that quick.

Time will tell.

From what my son says SA is also losing many small businesses. Favorite family owned places that have been around for very long time.

My county has been lucky to have only had 6 known people with CV-19.. none have died. Where I live is a small country town... that lately had a number of people moving here in their mobil homes and trailers as soon as the shut downs began.

A few days ago when cities started opening up many of them left.

But Memorial day is when the regular summer people show up. I am not looking forward to that as I live on the one road that they will all use to get to the lake and the camp grounds.

With my daughter in Southern Calif I am very concerned on what is happening there. Lots of places I knew from 13 to 43 - are closing or even gone. It's sad.. But it's my daughter I worry about.

Take care.. be safe.
