Sulks
Sulk #1: Still nothing from Netflix. The mail did come, but all I got was a stupid credit card offer.
Sulk #2: Though I’d mailed all three of my previous DVDs all at once, Netflix still hasn’t notified me that the third one has been received. Maybe it’s just lagging behind by a few days, like the inbound ones; maybe it got lost in the mail. ::sigh:: I really don’t want to have to call them and sort out a lost DVD mess. I’ve been told that they’re tolerant of that, but I just don’t want to deal with the hassle. Bleagh.
Sulk #3: According to my parents, my grandmother said she would call me sometime this past week with details about the Xmas lunch. Amount of news I’ve received = 0. I assume it’s sometime midday tomorrow, and at her house, but beyond that I have no idea. One hopes that it wasn’t held today. I’ve just called and left a message on her machine, and hopefully someone will call me back or e-mail me or something. If not, I guess I’ll show up about 12:30, and hope someone will be there; if they’re not, I’ll just leave presents on the screened porch and come back, I suppose.
Bummer than you didn’t get your DVDs.
Three of my DVDs went missing in the mail. All you have to do is fill out a short form at Netflix. It’s no big.
I hope you get the Xmas event sorted out. Xmas would be easy if it weren’t for relatives!

I think the “charitable donations on behalf of adults, gift certificates for the kids” idea is brilliant. Either that, or exchange only handmade, homemade things, and spend whatever money you would’ve spent on (possibly unwelcome) gifts on things for yourself, or charity, or paying off your credit cards, or whatever. It would cut down on stress for everyone, reduce needless spending, and make white elephants an endangered species — one species I’m actually in favor of wiping out.
