That thing arrived

Me: That thing arrived, what do you want me to do with it?

Sister: So, here is the thing. I was trying to surprise you with a genetics kit, but I was price shopping the tests and such, but this company charged me and I didn't realize it until after it happened.  I am working on getting a refund because I don't think the hidden fees making the total $200 per kit is fair.  I want I think instead to get the 23 and Me kit from Walmart or something. They are supposed to send me return/refund information, but the lady is going to let me know if the kits need to be returned or not, or if they can just refund and disable the kit numbers.

Me: Put it in a safe place until I know what to do with it?

Sister: (about an hour later) So, I have a choice for you.  I already paid for the kits (thank you tax return) and I have the email n how to return the kits, but I think you would have to pay the return shipping... which is bullshit.  If you would rather open your kit, do the spit sample, and send it???

Me: You bought it, your call.

Sister: Do it.

I did it… now we wait and see...


Also, this happened today:

Our university president at a meeting this morning said that students and employees who are not feeling well and are exhibiting signs and symptoms of illness are advised to stay home and faculty are asked to not hold this against anyone for attendance purposes. You do not need a doctor's note, but you do need to contact your instructor/employer and let them know and you are responsible for making up missed work.

Have you been watching the news about this coronavirus thing? I get a daily email from the NY Times, their map is kinda scary. I wouldn’t wanna be overseas right now, that’s for sure.
