A letter from the power company warning the cost of their services is about to go up.   :GA:

We got one of those recently also.
Electricity is our biggest utility bill, more than triple our water or gas, more than ten times our waste bill.
Cable and cell service are right up there, too. Each one almost half the electric bill.
I wish I could downgrade some of that, but I enjoy my streaming programs.

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.

A few years ago there was a considerable drop in the cost of electricity here. Even after all this time, I'm still impressed by the bills, because when does that ever happen, something gets cheaper? Never, that's when. I'll have to wait to see what the increase means for us.  :dunno:

A letter from our property manager. Follow up on our inspection. For next time we have to clean the kitchen exhaust fan and Kayleigh has to clean her room.

Bills. An appointment for an orthopaedic specialist next month. My feet will finally get some relief. Maybe.

FINALLY, a roll of stamps I ordered three weeks ago.
Everything is always three to five business days with the USPS (our postal service).

Your order is processed in three to five days.
Shipping your order takes three to five days.
Delivery of your order takes three to five days.

... and after three weeks, full joy.
This is supposed to be convenient!

I know, there's a labor shortage.

Nothing. The deliveries these days are like Italian mail in the 70s.

Two real estate pamphlets and something from the local government about ANZAC Day which is on Tuesday.
Dog treats and some junks.  :orly:
I ordered some cat treats from Amazon and the cats don't like them!

I received a bastard and a half bastard.
I never expected them to go USPS, but my order came early, too.

They are files I ordered. Bastard is just the name they use to describe the type of cut they can do. A bastard can cut in both directions and a half bastard only cuts on the push stroke. Half bastards can be very aggressive! Mine is a course half bastard. Extremely aggressive cut.
The bastard is meant for more refined shaping of metals.

If I am wrong, blame the Nicholson website for that description. Nicholson files have always been the best I have used, so I got two more to replace the worn out ones I have had for so many years.
