LS 6 4 6 Monday

Struggled to get out of bed this morning, making me a bit late ... load shedding from six to eight, so: cold coffee. I'll have to brew a fresh pot tonight, seeing as I won't have power - again - from six to eight tomorrow morning.

Off to work ... last couple of km I hit traffic. Bumper to bumper! Traffic lights at the killer robot are out ... traffic is backed up for kilometers! Got to work just before eight ...

I checked my messages before turning off the WiFi to charge it ... email telling me I've reset my Facebook password! Wasn't me! Happened ten minutes ago, so I jumped into action. Fortunately, it's a simple matter of following prompts starting with the email from Facebook.

How could this happen? Actually my own fault. Years ago, when I lived in East London (South Africa), I got a second phone number. And I added that to my Facebook account as a security. I'd received notices to verify that number recently - which I didn't get around to.

My guess would be, the person who now has that number, wants a facebook account linked to that number ... well, now they can. I've removed that number from my account, and set a new password.

Brrrr, but it's cold today! From nearing thirty last week, we're now forecast to barely pass ten Celsius this week! Definitely winter!

Placing an order for fruit juice seems a bit ... wrong at these temperatures. But one of the juices is Gingerade, ginger works magic against cold! I ordered the minimum required to qualify for free delivery, meaning that I went below budget.

Right! I've registered for online access to my investment portfolio! I don't know why that's such a big step ... it's a simple phone call; but I'm venturing into unknown territory ... so yeah. It's almost like a phobia now, I literally have to kick myself into doing something as simple as that. Yeah, I'm weird. 

Just got a voice note from my ex tenant ... he'll come on Saturday to drop off my stuff. I'm not holding my breath ...

Aaand Stage 6 load shedding implemented an hour early. Fortunately, that makes no difference to our outages ...

Sigh ... Stanlib sent me a link to activate ... which doesn't work. To my mail, querying this, I get an automated acknowledgement ... sheez ...

Fruit juice delivery arrived, amazing! Also, just in time - just after the delivery arrived, it started pouring!

Rain let up again, just before five, so I got to the car relatively dry. The drive home was bad - heavy traffic!

At home, I unpacked the delivery ... my gosh! Their complimentary delivery was 6 x 1.5L Apple juice plus 2 x 1.5L Gingerade plus 12 x 300ml smoothies! All that on top of my order! I had a hard time fitting everything into the fridge! And I've packed one of the apple juices for work tomorrow, instead of water.

Lady Sybil was difficult to bring inside, again ... sigh ... it's dark, wet, cold ... I don't enjoy these games. I've turned on the geyser, so I'm looking forward to a nice, hot bath - after dinner, which I'm heating up right now ...
