I ended up giving her a lot of sticky notes.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Went to the post office, filled out a change of address form and headed to the grocery store. Got a bunch of ice cream, it was on sale. Talked to a friend about life. I kinda feel like no one's taking my feelings into account when they plan things lately. My friend said I could get rid of my futon and not replace it, I didn't have to have people over to my place. She also said I didn't have to sort before packing, that's the thing that I'm having issues with. I'm changing my stance to just put things in boxes and deal with the sorting later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">July 14: I ended up being on the bookmobile again, due to schedule issues. I'm supposed to be alternating with someone else. Had a dr's appointment, made it there on time, but no one was around to take care of my thing.

The computer didn't work again. There was a lot of rain.<br />July 15: Found health insurance was still being taken out of my pay check, so I went to talk to HR, they said I must've said no change instead of no and on the insurance website it says I said to carry it over. I'm so annoyed, I even emailed them this year, asking if someone could ask to see if I did it correctly. I was fairly certain I said no. The lady said they had to take what it said online because anyone could come in halfway through the year and say they didn't ok it. I had deleted the confirmation email because I assumed it was set up. I hate when people say that, it's just a nicer way of saying we don't believe you.<br />I headed out to Hobby Lobby to pick up tape and of course found other things.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEjt3rUbonqTUPfaYVN5oZZyQKhuNSnfKYmXMZDslxlsiPARjEaIWyBxHuoxyaT83u8ju4zQB5HaBmQxbA_f1rPnIxWbt5pqUmUN41zX6Vwy3G0Ejzik4NzwqgeC267AhdrNuZw/s2048/IMG_4878.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1320" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEjt3rUbonqTUPfaYVN5oZZyQKhuNSnfKYmXMZDslxlsiPARjEaIWyBxHuoxyaT83u8ju4zQB5HaBmQxbA_f1rPnIxWbt5pqUmUN41zX6Vwy3G0Ejzik4NzwqgeC267AhdrNuZw/s320/IMG_4878.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>octopus, flower, tape, ribbon, mason jar cutouts, stickers, paper, sticky notes, charms and pens.<div>The octopus was clearanced down quite a bit, it was missing an arm, so I bought the flower to put on the broken part. I was kinda annoyed that Christmas wasn't out yet. I expect Christmas to be out by my birthday, I did take pictures of some of the crafting stuff that was out, so I can pick it up when it's actually on sale. The paper pad was just so pretty I couldn't pass it by, it would make a nice explosion box.<br />I went to JoAnn's next because they are in the same strip and I had coupons.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRhylEmTwzwoA2MXSdmlnRTupn93LmRAXxhSTEB1qy7jFqzDTbOvX83vxoo39AucJgMM5aMxys4tcegJveiw6EsBAlZNfA2GQwhn63IEnYFhAZhe3i5Z2fi7h1hxhtKC5tUKDuQ/s2048/IMG_4879.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1966" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRhylEmTwzwoA2MXSdmlnRTupn93LmRAXxhSTEB1qy7jFqzDTbOvX83vxoo39AucJgMM5aMxys4tcegJveiw6EsBAlZNfA2GQwhn63IEnYFhAZhe3i5Z2fi7h1hxhtKC5tUKDuQ/s320/IMG_4879.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The trim was marked down, but the one with the dangles, not quite as much as I wanted. Everything was on sale except the mermaid, but I used a coupon on that, and then after paying decided there was a reason i didn't go there that often. My JoAnn's is more fabric stuff (maybe cause they're so close to Hobby Lobby), I wish they had more of the paper crafting.<br />I ended up at HyVee, picking up a sandwich and French Toast.<br />Here's my octopus with the flower:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqU1ENWfbS2ojJAcOafizdTfJeQxP1k3Eu9V6fwmZwE3BP9dRalhzej30rjdG3sc03BGZfhvpdeMZyhX5qtc7Biydz8fRnh7qpaFyE2qMKnnVNDjvVzZEAX4D6Y7YcHDbuN9mzsw/s2048/IMG_E4880.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1820" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqU1ENWfbS2ojJAcOafizdTfJeQxP1k3Eu9V6fwmZwE3BP9dRalhzej30rjdG3sc03BGZfhvpdeMZyhX5qtc7Biydz8fRnh7qpaFyE2qMKnnVNDjvVzZEAX4D6Y7YcHDbuN9mzsw/s320/IMG_E4880.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>July 16: Signed up for a scavenger hunt swap and then spent most of the afternoon looking for items.

The Pound Puppies were in the Dollar Spot for $3 each, I had to pick them up. I've been seeing the regular size ones in the toys, but couldn't justify spending the money. I was ok picking these up.WWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197522956439691745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30100921.post-37617942910746229872021-07-24T09:11:00.001-05:002021-07-24T09:11:00.199-05:00Lots of stickers<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">July 5: We got up and sat, and then left for the airport about 10, for our 1pm flight.

Packed my old glasses, just in case. Packed all the charging cords, also just in case. Took my roller bag, I kept thinking I wouldn't have enough clothes, it's only 4 days. I haven't been on vacation since 2019, but other than wearing a mask the entire time in the airport, I didn't see any big differences. Mom picked me up shortly after 11, we went to Culver's for lunch and had about an hour to kill before the Uber showed up to take us to the airport. We got a somewhat bigger plane, didn't have to check any baggage. I felt much better being able to look out the window. Got to Chicago about 5. <br />Saw this in the airport:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCuqBrueFeA6drMhyfx4p9ZArj7C2osYiAPFOBImKZ3C5KBs1ykyEvCJcl_0jiyN_RNHz1yi2ZDB6PPuUjCy4Uda5cshyLlc-1MuDJhaKTdMb0z25Uc35wTMDoNqQsSTDp-hfKnA/s2048/IMG_4676.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCuqBrueFeA6drMhyfx4p9ZArj7C2osYiAPFOBImKZ3C5KBs1ykyEvCJcl_0jiyN_RNHz1yi2ZDB6PPuUjCy4Uda5cshyLlc-1MuDJhaKTdMb0z25Uc35wTMDoNqQsSTDp-hfKnA/s320/IMG_4676.JPG" /></a></div>Thought it was kinda funny that the dinosaurs had to wear masks, too.

We went to a diner for breakfast, I had Belgian waffles, they were ok. And then we went shopping, we went down a street behind my brother's condo, N Broadway, maybe. I wanted to just shop on my birthday, figure we'd find some interesting and different shops, we didn't really. Went to CVS, TJ Maxx (where I picked up a couple birthday cards), Walmart (where I picked up some pain killer), Target, Trader Joe's. We were headed to Michael's when I spotted a Foursided, it was the store I was thinking of, but of course couldn't remember the name.<br />Picked up a bunch of fun stuff there, some books:<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnZCTA2Ob8o3_HcYlW91PylJVIn3lXKrC3ayhuaQSxl8xo3bSW-42Nf7DmmT4e6-aKd2AMTnQZOsk04zpMbc_Y10mpcp70ctuQNc6gID7IfK04B-ENLOyk4b5RZ1pZ63pE08Z6A/s2634/IMG_4682.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1194" data-original-width="2634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnZCTA2Ob8o3_HcYlW91PylJVIn3lXKrC3ayhuaQSxl8xo3bSW-42Nf7DmmT4e6-aKd2AMTnQZOsk04zpMbc_Y10mpcp70ctuQNc6gID7IfK04B-ENLOyk4b5RZ1pZ63pE08Z6A/s320/IMG_4682.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The one on the left was for my brother, the right for me.<br />A couple Pride grab bags:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPM5dl4ZNs-r4DK3mMCrj2VDHP5UuVCLQTQwTDSw09gNEFYoesrImt0n6N8NlY_ygBkAfLZi6cqdSuCrsJBEdb5hN-aRWNZWOOCyinesYMe3Uo0gCJWGaNikyKfDbnJUo9iCOEPw/s2563/IMG_4683.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="2563" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPM5dl4ZNs-r4DK3mMCrj2VDHP5UuVCLQTQwTDSw09gNEFYoesrImt0n6N8NlY_ygBkAfLZi6cqdSuCrsJBEdb5hN-aRWNZWOOCyinesYMe3Uo0gCJWGaNikyKfDbnJUo9iCOEPw/s320/IMG_4683.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I was disappointed that they were pretty much the same thing.

One place I wanted to buy something, but the clerk didn't greet me and ignored me the whole time I was in the store, so I didn't. I didn't need anything, I just wanted to support local businesses, it totally pays to greet your customers.<br />Went to a place I don't go to very often. Found a bunch of cute stuff.

They were just too cute to pass up. I picked up one of the white hedgehogs for a friend.<br />Stopped at the grocery store, took my stuff home, put it away and headed back out to Hobby Lobby. I've been seeing people's posts about the extra marked down clearance and wanted some. Also, Christmas is usually out by July, so I wanted to see what they had. Christmas decor was just starting to come out, I saw some picks, not much else, the crafting selection was much more populated.

I love the flower girl, apparently she's a fairy missing her wings. I picked up a couple book themed charms, a cute seahorse, a bracelet that wasn't quite as big as I wanted. I love picking up the flower pieces when they are on sale. At regular price all that stuff was over $50, wow.<br />My walk back was hot, when I got home, I saw it was 86, but felt like 91.

We got to Walmart about 9:35, and found the bikini. My appointment was at 9:45, the line with an actual cashier was kinda long, so I decided to try the self-checks and then scanned the top twice, and didn't notice it until later when I was at home. My eye dr is in the Walmart, waited until about 9:55 for someone to come out and help and then until 10:15 to actually see the dr. She didn't recheck my eyes, like the dr last year, I still find that strange. She didn't really have an answer as to why I was having issues, but tweaked the prescription so it was closer to my old one (again what they did last year), I wonder when I get my eyes checked in the future (which might be about 5 years because of all the issues I'm having), will it be as hard to get used to a new prescription then? I've never had issues getting used to a prescription, that's why it's bothering me so much. Got done about 10:45, just barely made it on time to my eyeglasses place at 11. Now I have to wait another week to get the glasses back, so won't be showing them off on Friday. <br />Went to Walmart afterwards. Actually we went to an Asian Food Store, but I didn't find anything fun to get, so we went to Walmart because it was right there.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAh5qoMLbZ2zDL4TEFYBOPPM8xaROeIYwIpQdZtu5N60cLyrF02RJkGvEzbYorkKLddtT0KbytnzdqRnTW1Xb_-U9xPDqbifNewcRE6aXtWLZ5eYw9Fz0DdQ5p5k6iNJ_aZTgk9g/s2048/IMG_4556.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1539" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAh5qoMLbZ2zDL4TEFYBOPPM8xaROeIYwIpQdZtu5N60cLyrF02RJkGvEzbYorkKLddtT0KbytnzdqRnTW1Xb_-U9xPDqbifNewcRE6aXtWLZ5eYw9Fz0DdQ5p5k6iNJ_aZTgk9g/s320/IMG_4556.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Picked up some Minion decoration kit, some gummies, a key lime pie Kit Kat, some dried mango strips and a cute unicorn sticker.<br />We went to HyVee afterwards where I picked up some peanut M&M's for mom and a Twin Bing for dad and some lunch for me.<br />I saw these yummy looking layer cakes:<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaEidVuoJrLGu5bj9Q2vH59zshrMteK8SpnIrKJjPMuHLAjmDnEri9ner3w3CnSHamsRgwzZS70e_xeC8d0-LUegrKk2njmceiNZnYNzssdM2kZI4xVni-EynQcQt5JBZrc9VCoA/s2048/IMG_4553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaEidVuoJrLGu5bj9Q2vH59zshrMteK8SpnIrKJjPMuHLAjmDnEri9ner3w3CnSHamsRgwzZS70e_xeC8d0-LUegrKk2njmceiNZnYNzssdM2kZI4xVni-EynQcQt5JBZrc9VCoA/s320/IMG_4553.JPG" /></a></div>They are mango, I texted my brother saying I wanted something decadent and fancy like this for my birthday.<br />I received a secret sister swap:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0O2SHSm8BxsG_pMh_Ss6_ODHGJ0Q9iwvHwNWjgq7OIobnVKGki89_01tlKGwfNdyVTspF_5jC3-V6LzNjTECWz6ALLeyRC2s2NY5GMFzwDwabDbwHQU8nc_Y65pNQygV2vwd5w/s2048/IMG_4558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1688" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0O2SHSm8BxsG_pMh_Ss6_ODHGJ0Q9iwvHwNWjgq7OIobnVKGki89_01tlKGwfNdyVTspF_5jC3-V6LzNjTECWz6ALLeyRC2s2NY5GMFzwDwabDbwHQU8nc_Y65pNQygV2vwd5w/s320/IMG_4558.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>So much stuff was in a flat rate medium Priority mail box, it was heavy when I picked it up.

I do have the junkin jaunt on Friday and a handmade fair on Sunday, but I'm done shopping until after my trip, even when my glasses come in next week (I hope), I'm not going shopping anywhere. I might buy my friend lunch for her giving me a ride all these times. I keep telling myself I should finish some books I have out, but then I keep thinking I should be packing. I read a bunch on Sunday, that felt really nice.</div>WWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197522956439691745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30100921.post-15706132484482653062021-06-24T08:49:00.001-05:002021-06-24T08:49:00.206-05:00A blue doodlebug<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">June 15: Went shopping with a friend, I needed more leggings, shorts to wear under my dresses and footwear, I almost got it all.

I basically only picked up the Minion because I wanted a fun thing. Ended up spending about $75 on necessities. That's a big purchase for me, I kept telling myself I wouldn't have to buy things for a few years now, but it didn't help much to curb the price.<br />Next stop was Target:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSPY-CuKU8Z_d9RybZsziStpc81DTD7rKCaNoC9L_pvjlfG-z39hUy8_CpGSfM8UZke2GMHAsbZ6Kbmz8SDVMj4R7c_tm-9uVo58fvxHzmOxX5umoUGFOvfOUcrHIEBuy8xyjh6Q/s2048/IMG_4517.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1332" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSPY-CuKU8Z_d9RybZsziStpc81DTD7rKCaNoC9L_pvjlfG-z39hUy8_CpGSfM8UZke2GMHAsbZ6Kbmz8SDVMj4R7c_tm-9uVo58fvxHzmOxX5umoUGFOvfOUcrHIEBuy8xyjh6Q/s320/IMG_4517.JPG" /></a></div>I didn't find any shorts for under dresses at Walmart, so I went to Target, I picked up 3 different pairs. Nothing fun there, spent about $35 on those necessities.<br />At that time I noticed a missed call and found that my glasses were in, I made an appointment to pick them up at 2, so we went to Dollar Tree while we were waiting:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinCLqiifdUHosom52J_jB8c8k7xQxevWKGZj16_J73I6JjBXc-WxVgGKFSdEO9vP7wZ4YvwydlxCv3U9gXInVRQ2iS3x9p-9uIVLPDeMfuyAGHfyxsEYT0xckmPqrpoA9r_dRLHw/s2048/IMG_4518.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1198" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinCLqiifdUHosom52J_jB8c8k7xQxevWKGZj16_J73I6JjBXc-WxVgGKFSdEO9vP7wZ4YvwydlxCv3U9gXInVRQ2iS3x9p-9uIVLPDeMfuyAGHfyxsEYT0xckmPqrpoA9r_dRLHw/s320/IMG_4518.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Bought way too many snacks. A bunch of beef jerky, a pineapple soda, some YooHoo's, HiChew, chocolate. I had picked up a YooHoo a couple weeks ago and it was so good, not as great this time around. Also, I've never seen the HiChews at the Dollar Tree, so I had to pick them up.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7MI4WTin5NgQK9KyfDHiglSkjgXv3kNc9j32YskV_T3sMlCfNHIur3L6W4-iyx15_RIDFy6LAv6Imutp22S-MKD0JY6OvruVbdtFFdoU9cqlFyFS2U_JztU6M8CLwXQavIz9IDg/s2048/IMG_4519.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7MI4WTin5NgQK9KyfDHiglSkjgXv3kNc9j32YskV_T3sMlCfNHIur3L6W4-iyx15_RIDFy6LAv6Imutp22S-MKD0JY6OvruVbdtFFdoU9cqlFyFS2U_JztU6M8CLwXQavIz9IDg/s320/IMG_4519.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>sticky notes, bag tag, screen cleaner, stickers, journal, glue sticks, Tsum Tsum, silverware, and a sucker. I've been seeing people talk about these cute sticky notes set, I wanted a fun bag tag for our trip over the 4th of July, plus for my trip in September. The screen cleaner I picked up for a friend. These stickers are really cool, I picked up some truck ones, coffee, 80's themed, bee themed and llama themed, plus they are double sided. Found some cute unicorn ones and the elephant emoji ones. Also had to pick up the journal and the glue sticks, I use the glue sticks in my journal anyway. I couldn't believe there were Tsum Tsums at the Dollar Tree, the first one I saw was just kinda laying in the tech section, thought maybe someone left their personal one behind, then I found another one, but only the two.<br />We went to lunch and then to get my new glasses, old ones:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHO0iW-FmLEONDRPtU6VoKA28fh_D2k3f8-fvB-8Npd_t8gOOm2WOxanZQirIwwzQ_MQAql7WDIpcn8uwVcSJtyf8T88OLqW1hBj6C3iuXqTzfZc0E_6-qsec1_SYycAlh8dIWg/s1878/IMG_4521.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1734" data-original-width="1878" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHO0iW-FmLEONDRPtU6VoKA28fh_D2k3f8-fvB-8Npd_t8gOOm2WOxanZQirIwwzQ_MQAql7WDIpcn8uwVcSJtyf8T88OLqW1hBj6C3iuXqTzfZc0E_6-qsec1_SYycAlh8dIWg/s320/IMG_4521.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And new ones:<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb3iZq-9ZcSf0PpB_e8t18HayJvho770cUNgPXlHIccxlzcdAABV2L5tXtuQHK4b-D3HOrbRrif5rfoCT1MkLpemjZgxWkNDptIKY205ohnHqbGAEyJr0yK6j1INxjEzHQMS-f8w/s1747/IMG_4520.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="1747" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb3iZq-9ZcSf0PpB_e8t18HayJvho770cUNgPXlHIccxlzcdAABV2L5tXtuQHK4b-D3HOrbRrif5rfoCT1MkLpemjZgxWkNDptIKY205ohnHqbGAEyJr0yK6j1INxjEzHQMS-f8w/s320/IMG_4520.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Both very purple, but these new ones are very round and I think stand out a bit more.<br />Got home, took pictures, tried on stuff and then it was time to go to work.

A third item was a birthday mail.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Had a headache at the end of the night, so I made an appointment to go back and have my glasses adjusted the next day.</div>June 16: Went to the post office and the grocery store before the appointment. Asked my mom for a ride this time, so we went to a Mexican place for lunch, which surprised me because she doesn't really like Mexican. We talked more about our Junkin in June trip next week and about Father's Day, my dad didn't really seem that interested in doing anything. Mom asked if I wanted help packing, not if I don't want to add to my stress level. I got good news about my move and went for ice cream with a friend after work. We've been having issues with some teens all week, this night some people had to stay late for the police as they said their bikes were stolen.<br />June 17: Packed my DVDs, that was a whole bookcase, took 4 boxes for all of them. Got all my utilities set up for my move. I didn't get dressed until I checked the mail in the afternoon, it was a wonderful day.<br />I found a wish for gnomes:<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-R6v6EbZOEilN22j7Q57ZKae_n2YoH6lTFnhC1oobPuCySm-pOSFeHmFgTS85FpU9XMh5yT-WmMp8onIUVBVl3VP4bmM085IGbKq-Gl-mj2PMTvdtJkCqBgkg_IWlLZ2KXnQS1g/s2048/IMG_4530.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1703" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-R6v6EbZOEilN22j7Q57ZKae_n2YoH6lTFnhC1oobPuCySm-pOSFeHmFgTS85FpU9XMh5yT-WmMp8onIUVBVl3VP4bmM085IGbKq-Gl-mj2PMTvdtJkCqBgkg_IWlLZ2KXnQS1g/s320/IMG_4530.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>How cute are they?<br />And a pink tag:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALnkCToJP1AieQ6oDerglbW-Cfqa80D7zk0pPhhKGHHbKnGUPx5A7sdng4Zklv4ZORXcnxCltwFo2vny0sm3jJGMIWwz-RtxFH_ou1_pnRapwtTG8FYsYOVJXbm-meLENy5nvnA/s2048/IMG_4529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2027" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALnkCToJP1AieQ6oDerglbW-Cfqa80D7zk0pPhhKGHHbKnGUPx5A7sdng4Zklv4ZORXcnxCltwFo2vny0sm3jJGMIWwz-RtxFH_ou1_pnRapwtTG8FYsYOVJXbm-meLENy5nvnA/s320/IMG_4529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Not as cute, most of the foam stickers were so old they weren't even sticky, I put most of them in a box of art stuff to get rid of.<br />June 18: Had the day off as I'm working on the 19th.

Thought I'd give it a bit more time, but I did make an appointment with the eye dr for Monday.<br />June 19: Went to a few sales in the morning, they were all in one neighborhood and not that far away. Actually there weren't that many. The first one I went to had high prices, and then nothing and then just a sale of books, I didn't look to closely at them, I don't need more books.

I've been so stressed lately, it felt nice to have someone compliment me on things. I was debating going to a couple garage sales because the hours were 9-?, it had dropped like 10 degrees by the time I left work, so I decided not to go.<br />I found an Etsy order in my mailbox:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzjh_rVK0fY58CznfF0OkcGWnOW8LJcO_D98Ol13GI1Z6OSPx-bckBwkyPLspsajqw1GHIE1RgfinlHvTGGbC3lUzRbiUPgiKdHH1ewYtlqRZnAOGlQm6hBM_yBGxhGYaRSWbJA/s2569/IMG_4477.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1224" data-original-width="2569" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzjh_rVK0fY58CznfF0OkcGWnOW8LJcO_D98Ol13GI1Z6OSPx-bckBwkyPLspsajqw1GHIE1RgfinlHvTGGbC3lUzRbiUPgiKdHH1ewYtlqRZnAOGlQm6hBM_yBGxhGYaRSWbJA/s320/IMG_4477.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I didn't read the dimensions very well, the dragon on the left was smaller than I thought it would be, if you'd like to pick up a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/836799381/dragon-stuffie-minky-dragon-dragon?ref=shop_home_active_18">dragon</a> or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/795479730/yeti-stuffie-yeti-plushie-yeti-stuffed?ref=shop_home_active_35">yeti</a> of your own, check out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PerfectlyStuffed?ref=shop_sugg">this</a> shop. I love them, I'm glad I supported a small business. I kinda wished I picked a different color for the dragon, they are just so similar in color.<br />I also received a summer pocket letter:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQP5E3PV_1frhRL350C70RlKd0n3Dp5VYP30EwsKwWSn3gIPNgzri6K2d7QltcIIQ_sbULe6hBENeJCEHl1vMRaOJcfCyFjwgiOpai9Vl89aitcxYY7zxPNhnflUYEGTLsCo4OGg/s2048/IMG_4478.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1845" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQP5E3PV_1frhRL350C70RlKd0n3Dp5VYP30EwsKwWSn3gIPNgzri6K2d7QltcIIQ_sbULe6hBENeJCEHl1vMRaOJcfCyFjwgiOpai9Vl89aitcxYY7zxPNhnflUYEGTLsCo4OGg/s320/IMG_4478.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And the goodies:<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0YWSI5Z4RNYFHiCgtUHalrX_wPJouNYgUD39IT0-0PSWxRit79tHTfqF8Iun3cCjrZmkaMEeaFbdp4UWwjNIEm4uv7VtR6hcnx0_FPYuv8W1UVrGaBhZ3X4gLJp5Ima4X5Xe2A/s2048/IMG_4479.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1888" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0YWSI5Z4RNYFHiCgtUHalrX_wPJouNYgUD39IT0-0PSWxRit79tHTfqF8Iun3cCjrZmkaMEeaFbdp4UWwjNIEm4uv7VtR6hcnx0_FPYuv8W1UVrGaBhZ3X4gLJp5Ima4X5Xe2A/s320/IMG_4479.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>June 12: I went to a bunch of sales and hit 10,000 steps on my fitbit, but didn't find much to buy.

It was small enough to begin with, now it's getting pretty tight. I had picked up mini sweet peppers earlier in the week, but nothing to put in them, so I headed out to the grocery store for some crab. Found 7 things in the mailbox when I got back.<br />First up, a sweet RAK from a Youtube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/SpiceyCatChick">friend</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

That means I have to get up early and get my laundry done before we leave. I should have made arrangements to do it after we got back, oh well. I almost made plans with a friend for the 1st, I'm glad I didn't. I'm starting to think of places I want to go while we're there and what to pack. I was going to take all my birthday cards with me to open on my birthday, but there's a lot. I don't even know what we're doing. I did some more packing in the kitchen and the living room. Getting things packed up is kinda depressing, Most of my decorative stuff is packed.<br />June 14: I'm having internet issues, it's been annoying to get up and not be able to get on. I packed 5 boxes of art stuff and sorted a bunch of stuff to get rid of.<div>I put together a wish of happy mail:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7StsB2lRPZV4k9ME5e_jH1dXHqZblAC18K1LWL1u_9qq4MXk1vJ2WYsHTTo0on0Il4vy3I7wUUq0ktKW9CGzOC76AFUJABKLpF2VajXQTcX6F_ejpr2KJi7B8haOTuB78VDhSw/s2048/IMG_4503.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1416" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7StsB2lRPZV4k9ME5e_jH1dXHqZblAC18K1LWL1u_9qq4MXk1vJ2WYsHTTo0on0Il4vy3I7wUUq0ktKW9CGzOC76AFUJABKLpF2VajXQTcX6F_ejpr2KJi7B8haOTuB78VDhSw/s320/IMG_4503.JPG" /></a></div>And more happy mail:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71yt5f3SPdccHVv7f4romgbZuW37dGrR7uoC8Rfj_jUQcwPEGnNy4bya44GcIC3z0YaMwQFgPzGnnlNExOp0t4_SaokzyPIgaxGr8uC_zEQUcdtKEapEI5_TxoDh34sQ-Q5gSCw/s2048/IMG_4504.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1659" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71yt5f3SPdccHVv7f4romgbZuW37dGrR7uoC8Rfj_jUQcwPEGnNy4bya44GcIC3z0YaMwQFgPzGnnlNExOp0t4_SaokzyPIgaxGr8uC_zEQUcdtKEapEI5_TxoDh34sQ-Q5gSCw/s320/IMG_4504.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And one for a purple stamp pad:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-NvNZHZja-t2-qeXf4MsKGw5fWqObIjLJk66HyfBWh5y032aCKdRHaiULgPB6yMrI-v1MAKsM71aM3R8x8AK9vqgE_S4Iitm-cMEQRd6kIbka36ml7y_RUXH7u13Kq-NQ3DTrw/s2048/IMG_4505.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1369" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-NvNZHZja-t2-qeXf4MsKGw5fWqObIjLJk66HyfBWh5y032aCKdRHaiULgPB6yMrI-v1MAKsM71aM3R8x8AK9vqgE_S4Iitm-cMEQRd6kIbka36ml7y_RUXH7u13Kq-NQ3DTrw/s320/IMG_4505.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And one for something peacock:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6PVPx28b96gyXiB71IZQ6tCKDSZG54P5pEbaiJWQW7tHTOM-xLtrfP_SbRiDY7TiAv5ikaoMLj_5AQRtftiHU48XDT2i2VPi7u2wcApxfjnmyP53y5ylXUr23mkn9TS6pGw4bQ/s2048/IMG_4507.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1093" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6PVPx28b96gyXiB71IZQ6tCKDSZG54P5pEbaiJWQW7tHTOM-xLtrfP_SbRiDY7TiAv5ikaoMLj_5AQRtftiHU48XDT2i2VPi7u2wcApxfjnmyP53y5ylXUr23mkn9TS6pGw4bQ/s320/IMG_4507.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I had the hardest time finding that card, I knew I had it.

My brother booked us tickets to fly out there, but had the return flight arrive here after I was supposed to be at work. When I told him the 5th wasn't a holiday, he got all upset. I had told my mother my schedule weeks ago when I got my birthday off. I was so excited when I got the original text and then upset when I went to bed.<br />July 10: I called my boss seeing what we could do about the 5th, she said she wasn't sure. People have the day off. My brother texted later in the day with flight information earlier on the 5th. I hate that they made me upset when they didn't consult my schedule. I realize most people get the 5th off, but when you work at a place that's open 7 days a week, you get the 4th off even if it's on the weekend. I tell them this all the time and they never ingest it. Mailed a bunch of stuff and went to the grocery store. I think I need to start eating healthier again. I'm pretty sure I'll overeat in Chicago. <br />I feel so overwhelmed with the packing and now this trip and my antiqueing trip in a couple weeks. My friend asked when I wanted to celebrate my birthday, I almost replied August. I should be a little less frazzled by then.<br />I did see this beautiful car on my way to the post office.

I resisted all last week and the weekend. I ended up spending a tiny bit over $70. I added it up, I saved almost $100, but my friend said if it was money I wasn't going to spend anyway, I didn't actually save it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzzjOtKTf-oTxQwrawgxjKupGxpLEIyYfpsXfa1en0I5fQHQ0LItoV46CwU77pc7mBpRx-Nb0cwWSVjrYKCZNGTHJlW_Dml6iVjMyaLR4VOAKny3zd2AYe2pz4614Bjexgs9KeQ/s2048/IMG_4393.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1251" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzzjOtKTf-oTxQwrawgxjKupGxpLEIyYfpsXfa1en0I5fQHQ0LItoV46CwU77pc7mBpRx-Nb0cwWSVjrYKCZNGTHJlW_Dml6iVjMyaLR4VOAKny3zd2AYe2pz4614Bjexgs9KeQ/s320/IMG_4393.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I haven't bought paper in a long time, yet I still seem to have a ton of it. I loved a ton of the prints in the paper studio pack, it was originally $22 and I got it for $5. I went for double sided cardstock and thicker paper than computer weight, sadly this paper pad was not, but the prints were so cute. The second one is a Jen Hadfield paper pad, I never see any other paper pads except Paper Studio to go on sale, so to get something that's not Hobby Lobby's house brand, it was originally $20 and I got it for $4.50. I found out, they sell these refill tape packs in Paper Crafting and Art. In paper crafting they are $12.99, in art they are $9.99, same exact packaging. Those and the bone folder were the only things I picked up that weren't on sale. I needed the bone folder, I've needed one for years (I might even have one, but I have no idea where it is). I picked up some dog washi for a friend. I picked up the cute 4th of July rolling pin, the 4th of July gnome picks and the 4th of July metal pick up truck.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MZcMyp0l82rskRw8VlIxqJK4T_FOnAujE0lk_Sj-r8WFrzXnnsQqtkB6EqGYsM3bbIaG6zh2IC85aygkAsx2ydx-p9hT7s2IiqfOxMPS7Wo_Y7e7r3kMMZhJ4y49S35NYC3JZg/s2048/IMG_4394.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1343" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MZcMyp0l82rskRw8VlIxqJK4T_FOnAujE0lk_Sj-r8WFrzXnnsQqtkB6EqGYsM3bbIaG6zh2IC85aygkAsx2ydx-p9hT7s2IiqfOxMPS7Wo_Y7e7r3kMMZhJ4y49S35NYC3JZg/s320/IMG_4394.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And then I got lost in the stickers, I always do. Everything was on clearance except the bug die cuts/stickers and the crafting stickers, but Paper Studio was 50% off, so they were still on sale. Again, I picked up stuff I have been eyeing but don't want to spend the money on. Sometimes I think I wait for these to pick up some of the stuff I really want.<br /> I received a Hello Kitty pocket letter in the mail:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3193y8AsUVK6gS6wgT7G5Nmh3rI8DNNINwb0J8HIzSqHfBrgm8rc5aUHeiQaaGuPkvoubRGp6X3GOLyJmUrrY6miQb1qcAIwLjMLYXVPqNsY4G_aosMVzxOTQ7b7OtO5ycMS5Yw/s2048/IMG_E4397.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1797" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3193y8AsUVK6gS6wgT7G5Nmh3rI8DNNINwb0J8HIzSqHfBrgm8rc5aUHeiQaaGuPkvoubRGp6X3GOLyJmUrrY6miQb1qcAIwLjMLYXVPqNsY4G_aosMVzxOTQ7b7OtO5ycMS5Yw/s320/IMG_E4397.JPG" /></a></div>It's not that great, but when it's Hello Kitty, I'm not sure you can really go wrong.<br />Also a mini score board:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimP06FeoaHXV6N4Rq3qSHWNP-YRLbXlEMYSDrh6Xo0i5k8bqmRJM0fBlTD3jq-NJoZa0wV65M5VhaxgXtDnq_oRq2DFlR4tCITIHaURb95H-kg7BFRKfJmZaJK1hKoLM8eHqCh8g/s2048/IMG_E4396.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1672" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimP06FeoaHXV6N4Rq3qSHWNP-YRLbXlEMYSDrh6Xo0i5k8bqmRJM0fBlTD3jq-NJoZa0wV65M5VhaxgXtDnq_oRq2DFlR4tCITIHaURb95H-kg7BFRKfJmZaJK1hKoLM8eHqCh8g/s320/IMG_E4396.JPG" /></a></div>I asked for rosettes. I realize you can use the score board to make rosettes, but the whole reason I asked for rosettes is because I hate to make them. People make way more cool ones than I do anyway. <br />And a piece of birthday mail.<br />When I walked into work, our automated handling system was down. We are the 3rd largest in circulation in our state, we are not the 3rd largest city in the state. I feel like I read on my facebook memories that we process 6000 things a day, of course that was a few years ago, I'm pretty sure it's more now. It was down all night and into the next day. I believe we got it up and running shortly before we closed on Wednesday night. It took us back to the olden times when we used to check everything in by hand. <br />June 2: I put together a wish for something green:<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikcRgIpBxcg6eGtKpQ8crwyzJTMHlEdnL4sxPHCSlqjOU6U9Da6aqfQOUvR1uvuDEnet0xY8GvCwDzinXS0fmUr6gOu4nnlkajjDlS8zRvjlfKhOuYGiGhwTb7poT0A4M8L_cQ4g/s2048/IMG_4398.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1301" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikcRgIpBxcg6eGtKpQ8crwyzJTMHlEdnL4sxPHCSlqjOU6U9Da6aqfQOUvR1uvuDEnet0xY8GvCwDzinXS0fmUr6gOu4nnlkajjDlS8zRvjlfKhOuYGiGhwTb7poT0A4M8L_cQ4g/s320/IMG_4398.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>A birthday wish:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDST3jIQlDbt8DAUz-4t-1kP8sXZoF3S4ycQkb-QhyLRMKB4SkbhkdKaMP_lhPik1xHgHghuN-8f4uT-6y0NqxDOu_966q4wxirL7Y8w4qB1Iygo-9adizDAH8C_vuQ5yYHnB-WA/s2048/IMG_4399.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2044" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDST3jIQlDbt8DAUz-4t-1kP8sXZoF3S4ycQkb-QhyLRMKB4SkbhkdKaMP_lhPik1xHgHghuN-8f4uT-6y0NqxDOu_966q4wxirL7Y8w4qB1Iygo-9adizDAH8C_vuQ5yYHnB-WA/s320/IMG_4399.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And a wish for stationery.

They were for a few different things. I meant to do Christmas cards and that didn't happen, so I thought I'd do spring cards, that didn't happen. I wanted to pass on something encouraging (the quotes on the back) for awhile, it's been a rough year for everyone. Also, it was paperclip day on Saturday (the reason I included a paperclip for everyone), and I wanted to put a smile on someone's face. I don't know about my workmates, but I come in to work every day hoping there's something fun in my mailbox, there rarely is. And the few times there seems to be something in my mailbox, it's from a couple places asking for money, that doesn't put a smile on my face. I had quite a few left, I'm not quite sure why.<br />May 29: I was hoping for more garage sales, but there was a frost warning between Friday night and Saturday morning, the high was in the 60's, but it wasn't that warm when I'd be out with garage sales. <br />I did get an ATC with words swap in the mail:<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0YqUXANnh2VZHiZpcIOysxBQvo0Ef7XzfqhoGbAcjqSDHbh-DesJv2gOWt54jg-jMBWMgW9yQwCxHnpqMAyyZtFM8lvajgl7uwQnJclcmBDUgT2RqeUOq_1hM3Yg6AMsoPG58A/s2569/IMG_4364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1073" data-original-width="2569" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0YqUXANnh2VZHiZpcIOysxBQvo0Ef7XzfqhoGbAcjqSDHbh-DesJv2gOWt54jg-jMBWMgW9yQwCxHnpqMAyyZtFM8lvajgl7uwQnJclcmBDUgT2RqeUOq_1hM3Yg6AMsoPG58A/s320/IMG_4364.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Very cute.

Also, got my laundry done.<br />May 24: I'm getting tired of my closing shifts. I hate that I do my mail journal at work, go home and go to bed. It feels like I finish the day before the next morning. I finish my mail journal from the day before and finish my actual journal and then start the next day.

I also picked up some hot glue sticks, but now I'm not sure my glue gun is a high temperature.<br />After work, I went home and made another diamond painting:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1OtbumIhWiSevz5IMz6WrD02fA4nJQGlNl9-0bpgl9aNBp8KSvX3agJIIUNWMZKRf6rtAR0zN3VX6vamiWzoic6GRq8eo30Dj5NQlm_gOgXSlMCX90wLGl-DmX97kQcr62ocU7Q/s2048/IMG_4310.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1921" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1OtbumIhWiSevz5IMz6WrD02fA4nJQGlNl9-0bpgl9aNBp8KSvX3agJIIUNWMZKRf6rtAR0zN3VX6vamiWzoic6GRq8eo30Dj5NQlm_gOgXSlMCX90wLGl-DmX97kQcr62ocU7Q/s320/IMG_4310.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Not sure what to do with them now.

One of the bookclubs at work read it a few months ago. It's about misconceptions we have when we talk to strangers. I liked it. Got my laundry done.<br />May 17: the mail was really late and didn't show up until after I went to work. Work was slow, I got Interlibray Loans contacted and a lot of paperwork taken care of. And went right back to renewal emails. People's accounts expire every 2 years, we pushed back expiration dates last year because of Covid, they (mostly) all came up to expire on 6/1/21, emails go out 3 weeks before the expiration date. Last week, we had well over 2000 emails to reply to, sometimes it's as easy as just renewing the account (the person confirms their information is correct and we renew it), a lot of the time, we have to verify information as a conversation in emails, and it's not quick. I think we got it under 1400 this week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another Etsy order:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBGPtvRGNXr1qhSXuv80c6KISzFg2d5ubYWgSnqxLVCJ0A7M9wAaxoe46N43BCB22zss4iECbWkT99EG8E1-ev8tODOzDMwlYfG8EHnHFrasXx4LJnX_f2WZoCGjP5GYkzGrWRSA/s2048/IMG_4261.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1623" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBGPtvRGNXr1qhSXuv80c6KISzFg2d5ubYWgSnqxLVCJ0A7M9wAaxoe46N43BCB22zss4iECbWkT99EG8E1-ev8tODOzDMwlYfG8EHnHFrasXx4LJnX_f2WZoCGjP5GYkzGrWRSA/s320/IMG_4261.JPG" /></a></div>Kawaii sprinkled donuts, cat flatback donuts, unicorn cotton candy donuts, Kawaii pink milkshakes, rainbow octopuses and a mixed resin pieces bag.

This is not media mail. It's getting annoying how people in my groups mail on the least amount of postage they can and hope it will make it to me. I've gotten plenty of parcels mailed on one stamp and people angry that I won't pay the postage. When the tracking for this one was posted, I knew it wasn't media mail, there was nothing I asked for that would be media mail (which is a book or a movie, nothing else), the person mailing just didn't want to pay full postage.<br />Extra die cuts for a spring mini pocket letter:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My thumbs are tired from folding and my fingers hurt from the hot glue. I want to put an encouraging message on them and some tea and a paperclip in them. Figure we all need some encouragement. Thought it would put a smile on people's faces. I've been putting it off, no real reason, and just decided to start it and get things done. I did not know folding and glueing could be so tiring.</div>WWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197522956439691745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30100921.post-16649102200687385562021-05-20T09:53:00.002-05:002021-05-20T09:53:09.193-05:00Resin popsicles.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

One of the ladies I've been talking to about my postage due issues, asked if I invited them, if I got into it with someone at the post office, again always someone else's fault. Every time I see the item, I can tell why it's postage due, if people would just mail things flat or realize they are parcels, I wouldn't have issues. It's becoming very annoying.<br /> May 2: Blogger rearranged my pictures again.
