#I can't afford another $80 for 6 months of his food if it's dropped off and stolen

[fishthegenderwitch]

I sat in my chair. All day. For the past 11 hours.

In SILENCE. Waiting for my dog’s food to be delivered.

I order his food special from this company, every 6 months, because it’s good food and I get a good deal. When I order the food, it asks me to specify what date it’s delivered, because I work and my ‘hood is sketchy and people WILL steal a box left unattended for longer than 30 seconds.

I specified today, not realising that Christianity controls everything, even dog food delivery, and FedEx told me ALL DAY to expect it delivered “by end of day.” Normally, when I specify a day, it’s delivered at 9am, and then I can go about my day. Today I had planned to finally do a clean sweep of my apartment, getting SO much done, so I can finally start to deal with the mice. (My house literally smells like mouse pee.) But instead, I sat here. All day. In silence. Just in case FedEx showed up and happened to knock at the same time I set a mug down. I put a sign up to knock loudly. I checked every hour to make sure it wasn’t set at another door.

I was vigilant, and utterly utterly useless and full of anxiety all. Fucking. Day.

Until 8pm rolled around, and I called them because it changed to “No delivery date available.” The first thing ... The First thing I'm told when I call FedEx AFTER THEY HAVE CLOSED FOR THE DAY, and after they've been telling me ALL FUCKING DAY that my delivery is on the way to me: “Please note that on Good Friday, April 7th, No Delivery or Pickups will be completed.”
