My roommate is on day three at the hospital; surgery went fine and they got what they were after without complication, so now it’s just recovery from having his insides manhandled for a few hours.
Yesterday was apparently a lot of pain, and today is just sore and tired – so improvement of a sort.
In other news, the roof on my house started getting replaced yesterday, which was a hellish racket for about ten hours; they expect to be done by Sunday… Also, the Minimig I ordered has disappeared into the black hole that is ISC Chicago (International Service Center). No updates on it since the first.
Apparently this isn’t unusual for the Chicago customs office / USPS center, and there are entire reddit forums dedicated to “things being lost in transit through Chicago”… I have to give them 45 days, then I can file a missing package form and possibly order another Minimig.
If I order another one I’m going to offer them whatever it takes to not ship it via Mangle-Mail… UPS, FedEx, DHL all have their own terminals with their own customs and things work sooooo much better with them.
And that’s about it for this update.
