What's in the mail today?
« on: February 02, 2022, 05:43:07 PM »
Considering the times, I thought this might be a good thread topic, and one other people might like too. I don't know about other people, but since I hardly go anywhere anymore, the mail has become an exciting part of my life.  :lol1: I've always tried to avoid shopping online except during the holidays. It can be an addictive behavior, but for me it's not the thrill of shopping, it's the thrill of getting stuff in the mail. It's like christmas or something, even when it's just ordinary household stuff I couldn't find in the store. Tracking packages is exciting stuff too.  :zoinks: Anyway, if it's not at my weekly trip to walmart, or my two week trip to aldi, I seem to buy online rather than go out looking for it. :dunno:

Today was outgoing mail. I sent a gift to a family member, and I shipped a couple pieces of art to my momma because she thought they were missing but were just hanging out in a closet at my house.  :orly:

Today I received approx 4 pieces of junk mail (sale fliers) and that was about it.

Yesterday sent off a vintage shirt to Oregon.

Shipped to 16 of the 50 states so far for the first month of 2022.

Getting a package of vintage books ready for a send off to Kentucky tomorrow...#17 here we go. :asthing:

All I got for my mail today was a tax receipt from the Internal Revenue Service... my main package (an ankle brace) isn't in until possibly Sunday.

I received an envelope full of stamps. It was taped up so well that I had to use a knife to get into it. Apart from that, junk mail. This was yesterday.

I only receive mail as often as I remember to check my mail box :zoinks:

But the last thing I got in the mail was my CTP renewal (with the car registration renewal arriving a few days beforehand). I was thinking since they didn't both arrive the same time that maybe the CTP was sent to my old address, but no there it was.

Sugarbutt checks the mail and always has, so if it weren't for him, I'm not sue it would ever occur to me to do it.  :lol1:

Nothing. :(

But I'll take this opportunity to say that this is a bloody good idea for a thread.

I don't mind days with nothing, because it's very rare we don't receive at least one piece of junk mail. It's really annoying when everything in the mail goes straight into the recycle bin. I'm amazed all that unsolicited waste isn't illegal.  >:(

I received the replacement dishes I had recently ordered. I washed them right away and tossed the three chipped ones. I was most excited about replacing the missing dessert bowl, because it wasn't part of the boxed set so I didn't expect to find it. The one I ordered was the only one I found for sale in the whole world, and now it's mine. :woohoo:

All my orders have been delivered. I don't know if there was no mail today, or if Sugarbutt forgot to check it.  :dunno:

Today I received the electric bill and offer from another cable company. There was also something addressed to my momma. It looks like it might be important, so I'm going to call her tonight and ask if she wants me to open it to see if it's worth sending to her.  :dunno:
