As I've recently reported, I have just completed a Bermuda cruise as Mario. Soon, I'll be returning as Marian, and I'll want to be wearing a pretty pair of shoes to go along with a little black dress on "dress to impress" night. Both RQS and I want a picture of the two of us together, we me looking my finest for the evening. And a pair of shoes like the one above would fit the bill perfectly.
Today, I expect UPS to deliver these shoes. UPS sent me a notice that the shoes were delivered - but they were delivered to the wrong address. Stuff like this happens, but I'm never happy when it does. So I messaged UPS, and got someone at an overseas service area. (Given that the name sounded Indian or Pakistani, I think this is a reasonable guess.) After 10 minutes, they started to send an alert out for a missing package. While on the line, my neighbor came over with the shoes. Yay! But now, I had to tell UPS that the problem was resolved, and to ask the carrier to be more careful next time. Another 10 minutes later, I got a call from UPS on my landline - and I explained the situation. At this point, "no harm, no foul."

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but RQS's sister lives directly in the path of Hurricane M(ilton). So we were concerned that she'd be able to make it though the night, given where she lives. We were in luck. She made it through the night with minor damage to the house. And RQS's other relatives in Florida are also OK.
Even though I was supposed to do laundry yesterday, I decided to do it today. This way, all I have to do is hang up clean clothes when I'm done. This weekend, I'll put much of my summer wardrobe into storage containers and stash it away until next year. (I expect that we'll be taking at least one trip to somewhere warm before too long, and I don't want to hunt for warm weather clothing at that time.

Normally, I might post something about game night. But I think that would be an anticlimactic end to the day after all the above.
