The last of the packages went out today. /pantpant And that's all she wrote!
Anniv totals will go out later this evening.
Shipping differences I need from people are as follows:
Shirel $20 (it was over 4 pounds) Good news is it should show up in 10 days.
inanna9 $3
And someone who shipped on the 20th in Great Britain/Northern Ireland shipped for $25 and my guess is you only paid about 12-16 but I don't have who it was. Same day a canada package went out for $18 and you probably paid 12-14.
It's crazy to even think that I don't have anything to wrap up right now! Insane!
Dad is doing fine btw. He has some weird medical devices attached to him for the weekend and he has to rest but he should clear that up with the doctor on Monday. I still have no heat in my house lol, and my landlord this morning told us we wont be getting it for a while due to finding aspestos. We have made some threats and we'll not be paying full rent this month (yay?) but it's horribly cold here. And at least the hot water is back on! SHEESH. It's been ONE HELL of a few weeks.
As some of you have asked, and as I start to do all the math, I'm going to add a donate button here from now till my birthday in January. I think it will always be active, but I'll be adding it to all new circles from now till January 27th. This will primarily to cover packing and decanting supplies and if those get covered then well, they'll go to the BPAL tax gods (of which I still haven't paid $550 for 2013). And well, a few of you have asked for wish lists or more, and I'll get to those too but I think a donation button is a good start for now. If the BPAL tax gods get covered, I will let everyone know as that would mean a tremendous amount of hugs have gone my way and I would be shocked and humbled and wouldn't want to be greedy. If about $400 in decanting supplies (retro and for Yules) get covered I will also let you know because then any donations would just be for me after these two things that would be warm hugs rather than necessity and I wouldn't want people to think that I was still in any sort of "need." If you have a preference for which thing your <3 goes to, you can put that in the notes. I'm going to treat the donations as anonymous unless you don't want me to. I'm not sure what to say in general.
Also, I have broken up with my boyfriend of 6.5 years and will likely be moving sometime in the near future (probably back in with my parents till the money situation is figured out). So.... any sort of surprise packages after the next two weeks should likely not go to my current address. In general, I shall keep you informed.
Madness. I swear.
Anyhow, much much <3 to you all. And though these circles were CRAZY, I don't really know what I would have done without them. And please understand that though the decanting for the circles did take longer than usual with some breaks, the largest problem was that they were two huge circles so close together, and then shipped to me all at once with no room in between. SO, I don't really see this as a problem for the future. And Yules will be decanted after my semester is over in a week or two.
I think that's it!
