Day 24 – Chocolate is Good

Ended up going to sleep about 6am so by the time I woke up again the barber’s had shut, so I didn’t go. Not a major issue, I’ll hopefully get there next week at some point.

Since my brain was functioning relatively well when I did wake up, I decided to do a food shop. I went with Morrisons through Prime Now for same day delivery which is both good and bad.

The good: I finished the order just before 6pm, it arrived just after 8pm (8-10pm slot). This meant I could have pizza for tea with the carers rather than fish fingers, chips and veg for the third night in a row. I can also track the delivery driver on their way here.

The bad: the one substitution they told me about was wrong (it wasn’t the original product or the one they said they’d replaced it with). They also substituted a couple of other products with slightly different ones but more? They also don’t email what you ordered and it’s awkward finding past orders in the app. The app also has some very weird results for searches.

I got a refund on the replacement replacement as it was more than I was wanting to pay, and I got a message to say I didn’t need to return it, probably as it was a £1 bar of chocolate. Johan told me not to ask to return the Polish sausage (I ordered one pack of bacon flavour, got two packs of normal without it showing on the app) as he’d eat the extra. We also got 900g of chicken breast fillets in three packs instead of the one pack of 600g I ordered, so I guess we won there. I suspect whoever was doing the packing just wanted to get home.

I’ll still use it as not being able to go out to the supermarket it’s really handy, I generally like Morrisons, and free same day delivery over £40 is awesome. I do wish I could tip the delivery drivers like with the usual Prime Now as I tend to order lots of heavy items and I feel a bit guilty, but there isn’t the option for that and I don’t have much cash on me.

I was a bit annoyed at my body when it decided to ramp up the nausea levels just before 9pm, and I have no idea why. Luckily my antiemetic worked, though I’m now starting to get the drowsiness side effect from it so will be sleeping again soon. I was hoping to read a bit of an ebook or sort my emails tonight but that can wait. I still did something productive and hard. I also have lots of chocolate now and that makes me happy 😊
