Ladies and gentlemen, good morning to you. Welcome to Homemaker's Chic podcast, where we are gathering together this beautiful Thursday morning to rescue the art of homemaking from the daily grind.

I am the host of Homemaker's Chic podcast, Shay Elliott of the Blog, the Elliott Homestead, joined by my co-host Angela Reed of Parisian Farmgirl, log fame.

And the real question, Angela, is where did I put my coffee? Don't worry, I found it. I panicked there for a make up. I saw you. What are you doing?

Did I update you on my coffee machine?

It's welcome. Tell more. Do tell. Remember a few weeks ago, the lightness, the power, lost the wine fridge, the espresso machine.

So I procrastinate, spend a ridiculous amount of money, I'm carrying out lattes over the next 10 days. And then finally get off my butt and hop on eBay.

I'm scrolling. I'm looking for a verified seller that's selling my machine because the price went up on Amazon. And so I buy it. And like an hour later, I get an email from eBay saying this listing has been removed.

And guess what? So has my money.

So, you know, I'm not an expert in this. I go to PayPal and I open a case. I don't know what to do. Right. They deny my case after and I sent like screenshots of everything.

I'm like, no, no, no, no. Like hundreds of dollars have been stolen from me. More screenshots, more screenshots, denied it again.

I don't understand this. I don't either. So last night, this is how I closed my day yesterday on the phone with eBay. I didn't realize you could call them. So I called them.

It's like, it's really bad that you opened the case with PayPal before talking to us. I'm sorry. Did I get an eBay manual at birth? How was I to know that?

I think I, that kind of stuff. So gouge my eyes. I got transferred to four people last night in my pajamas on my American blossom women sitting there trying to wind down at the end of the day.

And now today on my to do list because I don't have enough to do. And I still don't have an espresso machine is I get to call PayPal now. That's fun. And try to talk to a human at PayPal. And I'm really excited.

This is like, when I looked at my first week of homeschool, I was like, how could I close out this week's strong? I'll go PayPal. That's what I want to do.

Elevator music after 37 minutes. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So bad. I'm so sorry. Yeah. I think I love your, I appreciate your pity. It's pretty sad. It's pretty bad.

I don't know if I'm getting old or crotchety or what, but like my, oh, I am pass me for basically anything is so low. And I don't know. Maybe it's homeschool.

I don't know. But it's like it's not there. It's not there. I just instantly. I'm just it's bad. I need to get my emotions and check what we're just talking about discipline.

Sometimes it's easier than others. I just don't like it. I don't like stuff like that. Like just look this fix it. It's obvious. I'm not getting any merchandise. And it's obvious the money was taken. So just fix it.

Like you're the company. I have to do that. If somebody doesn't get a magazine. I have to ship another one out on my dime. Just fix it. Yeah. Make it right. Please. Make it right. Please.

Okay, here we are Thursday. Have you fabriced any walls since Monday?

I've been fabric shopping. I told you I don't really have time to do that until Sunday.
