Thankful Thursday

Today I am grateful for...
- The kitties being well taken-care-of, despite MISSING THEIR FSKING FLIGHT. NO thanks to the customs paperwork that held them up. I miss my cats!
- The very helpful support person at Caiway.nl, who talked me and N through getting our phones set up, coping admirably well with the language barrier.
- Very thankful for having internet again. Performance of a 5G phone's hotspot isn't stellar, but it's a LOT better than my old phone after AT+T throttled it down after I burned through my plan's bandwidth allowance after the internet left to us by the house's previous occupants got disconnected. Do I detect a bit of yak-shaving here? NO thanks to myself for not taking the time to switch my phone to T-Mobile before we left. One of many things I should have done.
- Amazon.nl and Ikea. Uber Eats. Flink (groceries orderable via Uber Eats).
- Distractions.
Progress!
