In Summary:
* This was a day for moving chores around. The main Monday chore, as always, my weekly laundry, was accomplished in good time. A few other chores that I'd tentatively set for today will be taken care of later this week. I did cancel a few Internet-related services that I rarely use and don't really need, saving me ~$35.00 per month. And that's a good thing.

In Summary:
* Today I decided to move away from Amazon Prime for delivery of products. That company's delivery has become too unreliable, sending me mixed messages regarding when I can expect delivery of items, whether or not I'm allowed to cancel inbound shipments, etc. In the future I'll be using Walmart+, a company I've found to be much more reliable than Amazon Prime.
