And I Was Thinking That The Post Office Was Back On Track

Good morning. I was able to do a bit better sleeping this morning. From 1 am to 4 am, I got some good winks. After that, it was up-time for me. I did a couple "word find" puzzles and put a few rows on the Aran pocket wrap.

Earlier, I tried to make a scrubby cloth with the Blueberry scrubby yarn. What a nightmare! It took forever to find the end of the yarn to get started. After two rows, the yarn went bonkers. It had loops all over and no way to keep crocheting without making knots in the yarn. I ended up cutting the yarn from the piece I was working on.

Today I will give the yarn company a call and try to find out what the problem was with the yarn. I have never had this problem before so I'm clueless. I'm not even going to try the other yarns until I find out what happened with this skein of yarn.

Let me share with you a new way to bake a potato. I found this on the web and thought it was interesting enough to try. It does look very tasty!

Yesterday the mailman returned to me an envelope containing one of my Pogo calendars that I had sent to a friend for Christmas. There was no stamp on the envelope. Just a saying stamped onto the envelope - Returned for postage. Above that was written $1.15.

I called the local Post Office where this envelope had originally been mailed from to find out what had happened. They mostly said that "if" it ever had a stamp on it, it might have been knocked off by one of their process machines. But they were sure that I had never put a stamp on it.

Folks, these are not paper card envelopes. They have to be taken to the Post Office to be weighed before they decide how much postage needs to be put on. I just pay the bill after all the stamps have been applied by the Post Office staff.

I asked if the package/envelope would get delivered if I put an additional $1.1 5 stamps on it. The guy would not give me answer. When the calendars were originally mailed out, they cost a lot more than that to be mailed. I put $1.20 worth of stamps on the envelope/package and today I'm going to give it to my mailman. Hopefully, it will get delivered.

My fuel oil just got delivered. When the guy gave me my bill, I gave him a hat and neck warmer set that I had made (for someone who did not want it). It's wicked cold out there and I thought it would help to keep him warm. That's my good deed for the day. Now I can be bad till tomorrow morning. (only kidding)

Let me leave you with this thought. (image borrowed from the web)
