Rainy Days and Mondays and no Tribune again!

Hello from the bunker as my bro. in law says.

Not much new to report. Got up not feeling a 10 today, more like a 6. I did smile tho when I walked through the parlor. Pretty wall paper in there. Now to pick out the trim stuff. I think I will go with a pine colonial base, and a crown moulding.

So today was overcast with a sprinkle or two, not really rainy and real cool. That accounts for the first part of my title. Mondays don't especially get me down, in fact I like Mondays but then I don't go to work so that does make a difference. However the no Tribune part has gone across the line to piss me off! For those who know me they can tell you that it is not good to get me angry.

My husband does not ask for much at all. He does however like his newspaper in the evening. That would be the Chicago Tribune. He reads it front to back and looks forward to doing the cross word every day, (in ink). I get a local paper and it is delivered by the same person that is suppose to deliver the Chi. Tribune. At least one and sometimes two times a week he does not get his Trib. I call the delivery person and always get voice mail. I have always, and I am being truthful, been polite about not getting the paper. Now I always get my paper but it is his paper that is missing. I have automatic billing so I am never late on my payment. They get their money but we don't get regular delivery.

Times are tough right now. Paper carriers have a thankless job. They get up at an ungodly hour to pick up papers and then deliver them. At least one of my papers gets delivered every day. I sure don't want this person to lose her job, but come on, what can be so hard about remembering to put two darn papers in the box? I emailed the Tribune today and complained. I called the carrier and said we really want today's paper and I would even come and pick it up. As of right now, no call back and no paper.

Yesterday was the Chicago Marathon. My husband is a runner and was looking forward to the special insert in today's paper. Tonight even he has had enough. He said to just cancel the paper. Tomorrow I will call and cancel. Oh well if that is as bad as it gets then were looking okay. And the papers are wondering why no one wants hard copies any more. Well it's simple, all I have to do is to turn on the computer and read.
Too bad, so sad. Have a good one!
