Have sent five e-mails this week now in a back and forth about items ordered and whether they are fit for dispatch.
Last week I sent six to follow up on payment being acknowledged, shipping and the delivery address.
I feel guilty for digging my heels in over details, for wanting to know the order status and that items will be shipped in good condition and as advertised.
But it's not wrong to want what you've paid for.
I've almost abandoned all hope of this order not just getting cancelled 🙃
Which reminds me, I think some reasons I've felt so defeated through my life with household tasks and administration is not recognising how long some things really take to make happen, and also not counting time I spend towards them (especially when tasks become more complex than expected).
If you don't count time you spend on them because you thought you'd only spent minutes when it was hours, or you didn't know how long it would take, or the process ballooned into five times as many steps as you'd thought would be involved, all you see is that they're still not done yet, and that your time has somehow vanished but you don't know where, and that your to-do list has nothing crossed off of it. It feels like the problem is you.

For certain! I've been repairing a lot of storm damage today, and it's alawys a bit more coplex than it looks at firs assessment, so a lot I wanted to do today gets missed.
@ArtBear Yup, those unexpected sudden extra tasks are the worst for it, and especially when they have that complexity that isn't immediately obvious, as you say.
Hope everything can be repaired quickly and that it turns out to be less complex than it seems right now — it must be so disheartening to have to deal with damage like that.
