Happily, they had all checkout lines open so once I had everything I got out of there in two minutes. I had a list to make sure I didn't forget anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to put two things on the list, so I'll either go back tonight so I don't have to go out tomorrow at all, or tomorrow when I get up. I'm thinking tonight. Stop at the mail place and see if either important envelope arrived.

While interesting, and great in the dark, I really don't like either lid up on a toilet ;D

Yes, but then you wouldn't have seen the "glow."       :)

I was starting to think it was a reality TV show or something and they were just pretending to be busy to see how long we would wait before complaining

But we can be patient people,  so other than checking the time periodically and looking at one another we didnt say a word the whole time about the wait

We told him we wanted to just return the bedroom box, but he said it was not affected by the 2024 software changes and we could just use it instead of the main box.
