Holy crap, post office!
So last week, none of us got mail for three days. No bills, no junk mail, not even an appearance by the mail truck. Nothing. This weekend, my neighbour got a package.
Not a big deal, right? Only it's one she sent.
. . .in December.
Apparently there are more packages and some regular mail on the way (and some is for me), all thanks to Mufti the Mail-Hoarding Postman. Yes, we had another weirdo doing our route! I swear we get all the rejects from other post offices; we must be the last stop before they get fired. Our regular carrier said he really couldn't talk about it (no surprise there), but promised there was an investigation underway. We'll see.
On a nicer note, we've been working on the garden. Things there are going well and I hope it will continue in that direction! I have in 20 different types of heirloom tomatoes, some melons, squashes, eggplant, cucumbers and peppers. Good eating.
ETA: Oh hey, the mail came. And I have some patterns for theninth. That I will not be re-shipping with printed postage but will instead be physically taking to Non-Sucky Post Office Across Town. And the package my neighbour got? The mint-condition vintage dish sent out is now in pieces. I am uneasy.
