Taking Care of Business

Isn't it amazing that you don't even have to leave the house to mail a package these days? Here are the easy steps that I took to mail Joe's package; the Postal Service definitely caters to my laziness:
  1. Placed contents into manila envelope
  2. Securely sealed envelope with packing tape
  3. Filled out Shipping Label and paid for postage on U.S. Postal Service's website
  4. Printed shipping label, then taped label onto package with aforementioned packing tape
  5. Opened front door, placed package into mailbox
That was it! The USPS website mentioned scheduling a pick-up date with your mail carrier, but I thought I'd see if he or she would pick it up anyway since there was postage on it...and it worked! This was so effortless, I may just make a habit of sending things out on time. This may mean that I'll never leave the house, though.

Aside from sending out the package, I also got a load of laundry started, then I washed some dishes. What's next? More laundry, more dishes (the endless cycle), and maybe get some studying done.

Oh, I also just bought some film from seller jybball on eBay Express. 25 rolls of 24 exposure, 400 speed film for only $22.00 shipped! I can't wait!

Truc was talking about running a 5K this summer for the Three Rivers Festival and I'm really excited about it. I want to start training, since I haven't done anything physically challenging for the past five years. Greg's going to do it, too; maybe we can be the slow partners of the group. I'm pumped!
