I can&#8217;t believe work begins tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>As always, when I leave for Christmas, I always put a hold on my postal mail to have it deliver on the day I return (in this case, it was 12\/30). I get home and got the notice my mail service will resume, but no mail&#8230; I&#8217;ve been gone for 2.5 weeks and was expecting a lot of mail, a few packages, and even several checks. First thing that popped into my head was, maybe the postman hid it, so I searched the outside of my house and didn&#8217;t find anything.<\/p>\n<p>Since there&#8217;s been construction going on in our complex and that I just received a noticed on my door that the construction work on my unit was completed on 12\/30, I began to feared the worse. <strong>SOMEONE HAD STOLEN MY MAIL<\/strong>&#8230; I left a post-it on my mailbox for my postman the next day and decided to ask the construction company if anyone saw my mail the following day. Unfortunately, the construction company said, they didn&#8217;t see anything, but I should call my post office to see what they had to say. I thought&#8230; why didn&#8217;t I think of that.<\/p>\n<p>I called my post office and they told me that I actually had a tub of mail en route today (12\/31) and that was when I had my first sigh of relief. They told me my route had a substitute and that could be the reason for the delay. I did get my tub of mail that afternoon and it was like Christmas all over again!<\/p>\n<p>I got my Premera check for my new glasses ($180) and a rebate check.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few of the things I received:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photosleeve.com\/user\/krunk\/album\/miscellaneous\/item\/hair-bands\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.photosleeve.com\/static\/thumb\/18EC18DA-DA5D-11DD-9CD8-319DD212D7CE.jpg?d=6\" alt=\"hair bands\" width=\"113\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photosleeve.com\/user\/krunk\/album\/miscellaneous\/item\/spoon\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.photosleeve.com\/static\/thumb\/1959504E-DA5D-11DD-8A9C-319DD212D7CE.jpg?d=6\" alt=\"spoon\" width=\"113\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photosleeve.com\/user\/krunk\/album\/miscellaneous\/item\/grilling-book\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.photosleeve.com\/static\/thumb\/1B34C68C-DA5D-11DD-B10B-319DD212D7CE.jpg?d=6\" alt=\"grilling book\" width=\"113\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photosleeve.com\/user\/krunk\/album\/miscellaneous\/item\/cans-of-tomatoes-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.photosleeve.com\/static\/thumb\/1CA9DCA0-DA5D-11DD-B68D-319DD212D7CE.jpg?d=6\" alt=\"cans of tomatoes\" width=\"113\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photosleeve.com\/user\/krunk\/album\/miscellaneous\/item\/magic-the-gathering-cards\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.photosleeve.com\/static\/thumb\/1D26B5E0-DA5D-11DD-9CD8-319DD212D7CE.jpg\" alt=\"magic the gathering cards\" width=\"113\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From left to right:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goody.com\/Promotions\/freebies.aspx\">Goody Ouchless Elastic Hair bands<\/a> &#8211; a free sample.
