We received a thank you card from a family member, and some junk.  :orly:

Lots of junk, but also my house slippers I ordered.

... and they fit fine!
Been ordering kick arounds for a couple of months. Sent them all back, because they were too small. This time it worked.

Apparently in slippers I wear size 14.

I have ordered regular sport kicks and my normal size 12 fit fine. Do my feet grow when I get up in the morning?

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I got two really soft hoodies today. One pink, one pale green. They were from the U.S. so they took a while to get here. Just in time for winter. I'm hoping it will get cold enough to wear them.

Speaking of the U.S., the stamps I received from a friend there have opened my eyes to different parts of the world. About 80% of them have homes in my albums now. Other people who have sent me stamps could learn a thing or two from my American friend on how to pack such things.

Well, Renaeden, if something delicate has to cross an ocean, even in an airplane at 6 miles up, there should be something capable of absorbing moisture enclosed in the packaging. Not because of the flight over the ocean. Ship, yeah!
But because of the ground transfers and temperature differentials.

I learned that unpacking crates containing seven hundred pound grand pianos, when I was younger.

It sounds like your friend has done these things before.

Junk mail and my son got something from the census

Everybody got something, but me.
My daughter got a beautifully polished malachite sample. That was fun!

This was yesterday (Friday), a notice of inspection of our house next month and so much junk mail that it barely fit inside the letterbox.

I don't know what that means.
Inspections can be a really good thing, but my interpretation of your  "tone"  makes it sound scary.

We had many inspections before we bought this new home. Many were required and I paid for shiploads more on my own just to confirm the "Official" work that was done.

Finally got my plates for my car. Now I'm mostly legal again. Still working on address changes in many places, mainly license bureau at this point, still. They addressed my plates to my old house, but my work with the USPS was enough for them and the post office corrected the mailing.

The branch sent me a brand new plate for my car last year, which usually are to be used for five years here.
Oddly, they sent me a new plate this year also, thus the additional delay, I suppose.


BUT, WHY!!??!!


Getting our driver licenses updated has turned into a minor nightmare. So, I am not yet an upstanding cictzen again, but I have really tried to be.
As I mentioned before, I need some help from the legal authority to get legal!!

There was some mail for the boy, and I received some supplies I ordered for a project I'm doing. I'm pleased with the quality. I will need to get more later but I don't want to buy more than I need, and what I have now will keep me busy and moving forward for a while.  :thumbup:

It is scary. I like the house to be perfectly clean before an inspection (we have them every six months) but Kayleigh doesn't give a shit. So her bedroom barely passes. This time there's the matter of the ceiling in her room where there was a water leak in the middle of the night and I had to call emergency maintenance to come and fix it. They did but there's a lot of water damage plus a hole in the ceiling. On inspection day there shall be some discussion on how it should be repaired.

Junk mail only. Everything useful came electronically.
