I was awake around 8 and up at 9. I'd "staged" 17 packages, all in bubble mailers, which means pick out the mailer for that item and print out the label. So I had to finish them, like tape them up and put the label on etc. That often only takes an hour even for that many but it took closer to two hours.
The post office run went without a hitch, and I picked up two boxes that were perfect for a large book and a large folder.
I went over to the lunch truck that's on Queen's Lane and picked out a tamale and some chicken wings which came to $6, but the lady didn't have change so I need to keep an extra dollar on me for her next time. I figured might as well get eating done quickly. They were both good, although the tamale seemed to have some kind of rubbery sausage in it? Frankly I don't know what I ate.
After relaxing a bit I got to work packing more packages and not just staging them but packing them all the way. I think the earliest I've gone out on my post office/FedEx run is 9:30 and I want to try a bit earlier and see how it is. So far, the earlier, the nicer. I think if I go earlier than 9, I'll run into the tail end of the morning commuters, but at least I want to try going out at 9.
So, I finished off 17 packages this morning, and just finished packing 18. For a total of 35. I've got everything packed except for one thing, an HP 141T network analyzer which is a big, heavy instrument from HP's golden age when they built their stuff by the pound.
