The Horoscope Isn't Always Correct, but Every Once In a While

Hunny has been patiently waiting for some items he ordered for the motor-home to be delivered.  Most of the things he ordered came promptly to our door.  This ONE item has not arrived though and he's been a little impatient for it. 

He got on his computer, looked up Amazon to see his order, got the tracking number, went to the UPS site and plugged the number in.  It shows the items was delivered and left at the "side door".  Um, we don't have a "side door".  So, he notated the phone number on the UPS site and called them.  Of course, the computer answered the phone and he was directed through a series of "press 1, 2, 3, etc."  A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and went back to the Amazon site to go through the whole process again. Fifteen minutes later, his blood pressure is up and he's snappy.  I have no idea what he's doing over in the corner with the computer.  I just know he needs a break.

I walk over to him and tell him gently to "Please, step away from the laptop" and "Put down the phone." He's not a happy camper. He makes his way to his favorite living room chair and attempts to get comfortable.  I settle down in the office chair and look at the Amazon website for the item information.  Then I move to the UPS website for tracking information.  I click "Lost Package" and am directed to another page on which there is a phone number.

I call the phone number and got the automated robot.  Instead of going through all the numbers, I just press 0.  To my relief, a human answers the line and offers her assistance.  She asks questions and I give answers, yada yada.  In the end, a claim for the lost package has been made, Amazon has been contacted for a refund, and an investigation for the package has begun.

I turn to Hunny and jokingly ask him, "Do you have any more booboos for Mama to kiss and make better?"  He glares at me and say, "It's not funny!" and goes back to reading his newspaper.

I barely have left the office chair and took two steps when I heard him take a deep sigh, and mumbled under his breath, "You've gotta be kidding me."

I question him and he shows me the Horoscope printed in the paper today.

His: "Emotions will take control and should be channeled into something that will make your life and a relationship with someone you love better."

Mine: "Jump in and get things done.  Your ability to adapt, take charge and make things happen will turn you into the go-to person." 

Bwah-hahaha-hahaha.  I find the whole thing quite hilarious.  Just remember, the Horoscope is not always right, but Every Once in a while, it'll surprise ya.
