Waiting
Why is waiting so terribly hard for me? I know wait is my word-du-jour (peut être «mois»?). Since I sometimes don't fully grasp the intellectualized version of these these, I may get a hands on lesson from time to time.
Case in point: I ordered a certain item using certain reward points. It was scheduled to arrive on Friday. Since I was at work and the delivery folks required a signature, delivery was not made. The notification slip indicated they would come again today. I had the day off. I thought it would work out fine. Of course, for good measure and perhaps being non-committal, the delivery person checked off every single time slot he or she might drop by. Every. Single. One.
There are five minutes left before the end of the final delivery time slot. I really, really would like to get my item. With the deadline in sight, the anticipation was starting to get to me. So I made cookies from a completely made up recipe. (I needed a bit of a challenge. They turned out pretty darn good.) If I weren't typing, I would be sitting by the window with my hand tucked under me to decrease on the fidgeting. Back to waiting I suppose.
