I was so tired last night, I went to bed and didn't get up until 3PM. I guess it was all the running around, packing things and riding my bike all over...
I had a customer all pissed off that I hadn't sent their thing which hadn't been paid for until after I'd done my Friday post office run and I told them so. They said the post office is open today (Saturday) and they said it was and I said it wasn't, but since the item is small, I think I can put it into one of the drive-through mailboxes.
The buyer is in Texas and they probably have their post offices open 24/7 just to handle all the shipments of drugs and the firearms going out to Mexico and other places.
Since I'd hoped to go to 99 Ranch Market if it wasn't raining too hard, this was all OK and I packed another small thing too. Here's the miracle: The lobby was open and the chute was working.
I was then able to do some shopping at 99 Ranch and H Mart. I was not able to get coffee or sesame seeds, which are random things for both stores to be out of, but that's kind of how things are these days.
To give an example of how things are going, the Pacific Coast Highway is now closed overnight in the Malibu area. The same road I traveled up by motorcycle when I was leaving the hopelessness of flyover country to come back out there. It was no problem back in 2008, but now I'm not sure if it's even functional at all since there's a bridge that fell down and I think another part blocked by a huge landslide. So much for the great Pacific Coast Highway.
I got rained on but not soaked getting back here. It was fairly miserable, fighting the wind and getting splattered with rain, and I stopped in at the African store for a couple of different brands of "bitters" to try them out. Then got back in here, put things away, and cooked some dinner.
I put some hours into taking a big heavy thing Ken had put, in a large tub, on top of this one cabinet for some reason, out of there and into the office where I took it apart - now I have lots of goodies to list. And now I can work on putting all the boxes of various light bulbs that are scattered all over the place here, in one location - on top of that cabinet.
