Did you forget that yesterday was a holiday?  I did.  I had to take my mail in for the night and put it out again this morning.

Postcard!  And a couple of bills.

A postcrossing postcard again, this time to China.  The recipient requested a postcard of something that was related to US culture and I thought maybe he’d like something regarding the Justice League.  That has a lot to do with US culture right?  Incidentally, I think his address was the longest address I’ve ever had to write on a postcard.  The entire right side of the postcard, excepting the stamps, is taken up by his address.

An anecdote about my bills: I’m pretty sure I have brain problems.  I managed to stuff the envelope with the payment stub backwards, seal the envelope, and stamp it all without noticing that the payment stub was backwards.  I didn’t notice until I put it in my outgoing pile of mail and noticed that I saw the amount enclosed staring at me though the address window.  Doh.

I had to gently pry apart the envelope and flip the stub around so the address would show through the window and then glue the envelope back together.  I would have just used a new envelope except that I had already stamped the original one.  After gluing the flap down, the envelope looked pretty sickly, so I stuck a big piece of packaging tape over the flap.  Normal people don’t have to do these things, right?

Postcard!

It’s a postcrossing postcard because work is sucking up all my free time.  Also, I’m dumb and I overextended myself and took on a few too many extra responsibilities.  You’d think I’d learn to check my calendar after the first time.  But no.  Anyhow, this postcard is going to the Netherlands.  The recipient said she likes fantasy-type things.  Wonder Woman is pretty fantastic, right?
