Sunday!

5 things:

1.  Ordered a book: Nita Leland's The New Creative Artist!  Love books, and love ordering them from used booksellers, who ship the books to me via USPS!  I'm doing anything I can to help the US post office survive this idiot congress.

2.   Talked with a mailman yesterday as he picked up mail to be sent from the mailbox near our back yard.  I wished him luck with all the changes Congress has in store for us, and he said, "Yeah!  We've had the mail all our lives!!  Why change it?!"  He is so right.  It's the one thing we have always been able to count on.  I remember getting mail delivered on Christmas day from one of my brothers during WWII.  The post office would do that.  And I've always loved most of the people (with very few exceptions) who work in the p.o.  They do their best to be of service.  If you are an introvert like me, you value each and every interaction you have when you leave the house.  YOU GO, POST OFFICE!!

3.  Let's hear it for TEACHERS, too!!  OMG, how many teachers have helped me live as long as I have and do the things I've done and at the end of the day, enjoy my leisure by getting into a good book!!

4.  All of a sudden, it's chilly again here.  It was below freezing this a.m. (30F) when I got up, and this is after 4 or 5 warmish days.  Read somewhere last night that this year so far has been like "the year without a summer":  1816.  You can look it up:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer

5.  Ver vaist?
