I think I'll go back to bed and start this day over...

Today is starting out badly...friend in hospital here in Moscow, but it turns out to be nothing too serious, thank goodness!

So .... we ordered groceries online a few days ago through this Russian company and delivery was expected today between 8-10 am. When I was eating my breakfast I realized there was a missed call from 7:10 am on my cell and then it rang again at 7:20. I answered, but my language training went out the window when the person on the other end was speaking at what seemed like warp speed! Lol

I figured it was our delivery guy early, but I couldn't understand much other than "order" and him asking me what apartment we were in. I went to our intercom system, but I couldn't see him on the video. This is where things went from bad to worse and in a panic over the language barrier I buzzed my neighbour who speaks fluent Russian....not remembering it was only 7:20 am! I had been awake already for 3 hours, so I didn't clue in. My poor neighbour....she's going to want to move! I SHOULD have just gone downstairs and he should have just buzzed the intercom instead of calling my cell. 

Lesson learned! Credit card wouldn't work, paid cash and because I was in a state I don't think I even paid him enough. I'll make it up to him next time. Once he left I tried the tv for the first time and was glad when I turned it on and there was an English Channel clear as a bell. My mistake was changing the channel....now I can't get anything but fuzz. I try calling Craig for the first time at work and that number didn't work. So....I've decided to go back to bed and start this day over! 😉
