OH HAPPY DAY! I got loads of mail at the Post Office today! Christmas cards, pictures, herbal teas, magazines, peanut butter, (Rita, will you marry me?!?!) So for those of you whose postmaster tell you it will take 7-10 days...I just now got some things that were mailed December 12. And, again, if you send packages, please show zero value. A dear friend sent a box of used eyeglasses from the Lions Club, which cost $40 to ship. He showed $100 value, so I had to pay $35 to get the package out of the post office. Which is ok...it's worth it to me to be able to help some poor people be able to see better, but that's the reason to show no value. Today I also received my "settling in allowance" from Peace Corps to help pay for household furniture, etc. so that was timely!
