Windstorm + very annoyed
The windstorm was pretty bad!
Fortunately I don't know of anyone who had terribly severe things happen. Lots of downed fences. Apparently a tree fell right by the corporate office. Lots of minor vehicle damage. 50,000 people without power. Watched a section of fence and tons of sheets of drywall and insulation go bouncing through our parking lot, into several cars, and then down the street. Lots of it got stuck in trees. The construction fence in the neighboring lot blew over right as I pulled up to work. The storage shed in the back blew over and blocked our back door. The perimeter fence behind my mom's and Taylor's house blew over, and my mom thinks she may have lost one of her bird feeder hanging branches. The worst gusts were mostly in the 80-90mph range, though Alex said there was a gust of 107mph down south near Pueblo.

Suuuuuper annoyed. Two of the things I did end up ordering via Amazon were supposed to arrive today and were marked delivered, but nope. Not outside the door, not by the office, not outside... They are marked as having been "left in the mailroom." We do not have a mailroom. There is a parcel locker outside, but it sends a code to you if something is left in it for you, which we have not gotten.
This has happened before, a missing item that says "left in mailroom." Typically with Amazon deliveries, I get the mildly creepy picture of the package by my apartment door, but there's no picture with the "mailroom" deliveries.
And Amazon won't do anything, because the items are still "within their delivery cycle", so it claims that they were marked delivered in error, and will show up in a day or two. But judging by last time, no, they will not ever show up.
It seems like it's the delivery person being shady (as opposed to a neighbor grabbing them or something), since the stuff is being marked as delivered to a nonexistent place. (THERE IS NO MAILROOM.) And again, the packages haven't been left anywhere. Alex was home when they were marked delivered, so he checked all the likely spots right away.
Frustrated, because until they're out of their "delivery cycle", I can't get a refund or a replacement. I'd be fine with a replacement, but I don't know if a replacement will be here by Christmas (and both of these things are gifts), or if a replacement will just be delivered to our "mailroom" again. :/
Plus I've got several other things that are supposed to arrive over the next few days from Amazon, and now I'm worried that none of them are going to actually arrive.

How frustrating about the package.

...when the grass/gravel is really wet from rain. Or they leave it there in the rain.

But ugh, I've known SO many people who have those issues of having their stuff left in puddles or in just weird places. Not Amazon, but twice while Alex was horse-sitting, the UPS driver drove up to the gate, *while Alex was sitting there in our truck*, and just... threw boxes over the gate into the yard.
