Woke up feeling not too great but my mood is improving. No matter my mood good or bad, I've gotta get things done! That's what I like about writing lately, I am getting better at just writing despite my mood or laziness or other challenges that may pop up.

I've been mildly stressed about well, bills and Christmas basically. But I'm grinding toward the finish on Christmas. Still a few items I need, but I'm getting there.

Amazon or my bank, or both have been really annoying me lately. Maybe it's also my fault but damn. When I order items, it takes DAYS for the purchases to be deducted from my account. It's ridiculous! I want to order presents, and then be able to like buy groceries and things, but when it takes ages for my account to update, it can make buying things difficult. I already nearly overdrew my account. Sometimes when I purchase from Amazon, my account gets charged, then the money gets deposited *back* into my account, only for them to take my money AGAIN.

It looks something like **this:**

*-$8.00*
**+$8.00**
*-$8.00*
**Like what is that?**

Also, I bought a book and didn't realize it was actually used, which annoyed the crap outta me. Luckily it's not insanely damaged, but it definitely has flaws. The person I got it for likely won't mind, and I repaired it with some tape. It's not bad but super annoying.

I do take some responsibility, but dang I also thought Amazon was like *good* at like their only purpose, and that is e-commerce/shipping.

You would figure that payments would be deducted efficiently, and like when someone buys a book, that the fact that it's **used** would be clearly written and easy to notice. When I checked my order, it did say it was used but like in tiny print.

Maybe I should read more fine print, and maybe I should calculate my purchases, sure. But I assumed that Amazon was like a company that knows what it's doing and tries to make life convenient for the customers. I mean Amazon is supposed to be some awesome mega company, right?

Maybe I'll look elsewhere for products online soon. This is not the first annoying crap I've dealt with when it comes to Amazon.

I hope Hivelist gets bigger, that would be tremendous.

Here's a **random** pointless video that popped on my feed that distracted me/cheered me up.

The video works in a small way too in regards to my feelings about Amazon right now. Amazon, is becoming spoiled milk LOL.

Hive on.
