Don’t forget to look me up on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter under “RealAutismSpeak” if you want to follow my daily exploits, for more than what I’m able to put out here–for the time–on this blog! Also on Clouthub, Gab, MAGAbook, Telegram, GETTR, Minds, Truth Social, and Locals as well….might look into Substack too.
Yes, the latest new Entry is still en route for tomorrow, but you may notice I’m posting this now. So as of yesterday, I was expecting my new mattress to arrive between 3-5 PM today. They came early, and they said they called me, but I see no log of it, and how would I have known that before I decided to sleep in, and take a shower after waking up? For all I know the call could’ve come in while I was in the shower, and I wouldn’t have known; didn’t see a voicemail message or anything. But ok, they were coming early, so at least the shipment would come early, and I’d have a new mattress now to enjoy, right?
Nope, it turns out the entire order was wrong; the wrong sizes were selected for everything, so now instead it’ll all be coming on the 14th instead. What made it even more fun was that there was a serious communication issue between me and the delivery men–we had to go back and fourth several times to understand the full scope of it–and as I was calling the store about the shipment error, and to adjust my order, the delivery men kept talking over them, so I had to hang up twice.
You may wonder why, with such disappointment, I haven’t just canceled the whole thing; well, because as of now, my order is still locked in, it’s not every day I have $1000 to spend on a new mattress and bed frame, and I don’t have time now to go all around, trying out different mattress stores, when I already found exactly what I wanted, and my mattress is on the brink of collapse. We’ll see if they manage to get everything going more smoothly, moving forward; also thankfully the new frame will cost a little bit less, as it’s smaller. It turns out my bed size is a twin bed, I thought it was a double, which they consider a “full” (and how in the hell would I know that, since I last got a new mattress 25 years ago?), so everything had to be re-done.
Oh, and you wanna hear where it gets even more fun? A new Coin drop happened on the site I buy precious metals from (as I’m typing this, btw), and once again I got the time wrong on it, so I missed out on the coin I wanted. Essentially I was hoping to get the coin before they came, then it turns out they came early, so I figured perhaps I had more time to get it, then the order is wrong, and I once again got the time for the coin drop wrong. This weekend is going stellar so far, heh.
The funny thing about all this–I will say–is that it reminds me of all the times as a child I built up many, many events anxiously, sorta “working life around them”, and disappointment ensued when no one knew what the fuck they were doing, and communication wasn’t there properly. I guess in a way I want to symbolically give everything the “red carpet” treatment, and likely nothing on lower frequencies has shown any real reason to deserve it. It goes back to what I said here: don’t put anyone or anything on a pedestal other than the version of yourself God needs you to be. “But Russell, you just told us you screwed up the time for the coin drop”. Yes I did, dear reader: it was neither meant to be, at this time, and I said “put the version of ourselves on the pedestal that God needs us to be“. It is painfully obvious I am nowhere near that yet
I think the major positive coming out of this is helping me realize how I react to all of these situations, and why exactly that is; as a video from the Words of Wisdom channel on Youtube said it best: “whatever happens happens for good”. God needs us to get something important out of everything, whether at the time it seems like a good thing or not.
That being said, you may be thinking “so at least you have more time now to post a new entry today, and you don’t have to wait til tomorrow, right?” Oh….I have the time, dear reader, but…..I’m kinda really upset right now; The size bed frame they sent me was wrong, and the frame of mind I’m in at the moment is all wrong, and my entry would not be coming from a fair place. So no…new entry will be up tomorrow, and I’ll just be handling other things today, I suppose. perhaps I can at least get up a vlog or two later today, once I calm down a little bit, so that may hold people over. Probably just gonna order some delivery (food) shortly, figure out some vlogs, and do a few other things for the day; maybe even some meditation….and I gotta check the guinea pigs’ nails this weekend.
Anyway, wanted to give everyone that update. See you for more goodies, tomorrow
