Today's Theme: In the Mail
I have a love-hate relationship with my mailbox. Between my shop and the fabulous Pen Pals Group, I deal with the Postal Service a lot... sometimes more than I would like. Recently, the PO lost a package of supplies that was mailed to my house. They claim it was delivered, but I know that's bullshit because I was here all day on the day they "delivered" it. And everyday when the mailman comes, the dogs alert me and I immediately go to the mailbox and collect its contents. So, I don't want to hear any crap about how it was stolen. During one of my many phone calls to the PO, they actually put me on the the phone with my carrier who had the gall to tell me that he never misdelievers mail when half the mail we get it our box belongs to someone else.
To make matters worse, the USPS lost a package I sent to Daisy back in November. It was a custom hat, and when she said it never arrived, I was really upset. After much research and yelling at the lady at the PO, they claimed it was still in customs... since NOVEMBER! Its a fucking hat... not wmds. This story does actually have a happy ending... a week later, the hat arrived. All is well, but the PO can still suck it.
I also got a bit a crappy news in the mail today. A letter from my medical insurance company, telling me their are dropping a major group of clinics, doctors and hospitals from their plan... the group all my doctors belong to! For those who haven't been following the saga, I have been suffering from a fairly serious and somewhat rare medical condition over the past 2 years. Finding a doctor who could treat my condition was a huge ordeal. And now, I have to find all new doctors. Fuck! Oh, and if I ever have to go to the hospital... the closest one that's in-network... is in a another state. I'm so fucked.
In happier mail news... I got 2 pieces of mail from my pen pals today! A funny card and a sweet letter and stickers from the other. Made my day a little brighter!
