Days 18 and 19 and Dawdling

I knew yesterday's offering was metal because another package kept sticking to it magnetically.

It was a tart tin and circle template that could be used for finishing the Snowman Ornament or any other of that ilk.
Today's had the magnet that kept stitching to yesterday's tart tin.
A very handy, magnetic hook.
The rest of the morning I've been goofing off when I should be doing some work around here. I seem to have fallen into that habit in the mornings I don't have an appointment that takes me out of the house. I have so many ways I entertain myself: doing puzzles, watching YouTube videos, lurking on social media, corresponding with folks via email and texts, planning my next projects, etc. When I was going to elementary school, my mom used to have to 'encourage' me to 'get a move on' as I'd be dawdling in my room before getting out the door to school. Now, I'm usually late to informal things because I get caught up in goofing off.

For an upcoming trip, the flight was to be at 7:30am. I booked an airport limo. Then we got word that the departure time was changed to 3:15pm. The good news was that I could cancel the limo and just take public transit to the airport. The bad news was we'd be missing our entire first day at the resort.

I started stressing about how busy things would be getting to the airport during the holidays and decided this morning to rebook a limo. I'll reserve the public transit conveyances for when I return home. My neighbour again has kindly offered to pick me up from the GO station.

Because of the change of departure time (more than 6 hours), we may be compensated between $250 and $700. One of the persons in our group is looking into that. There is a passenger's 'bill of rights' called  Air Passenger Protection Regulations. We'll see what comes of it.

Now I must 'get a move on' and quit dawdling.
