UPS sent me a message this morning saying that my new Mac mini was “out for delivery” today, much to my surprise. After Shir Shabbat services, we went outside and found a box from Apple on the porch – it was the box I need to use when I send my old computer to them for trade-in. And it came by FedEx, not UPS. Maybe Monday….

Our neighbors Bones and Skully have reappeared after their vacation – good thing they have heavy sweaters because it’s quite chilly outside tonight!

I had hopes of getting my new Mac mini today; UPS sent me an email telling me to expect it between 4:15 and 8:15pm; Apple sent me a text telling me “Today’s the day.”

It’s 9:17pm, and I’m beginning to suspect that today isn’t the day.

If the computer had arrived, I wouldn’t have been able to set it up in place of the system it’s replacing because I’m leading services over Zoom tomorrow, and rearranging everything would not have been a good idea – but it would have been nice to have had the option.

Shabbat Shalom!
