Today I woke up to a “sorry we missed you!” delivery notice.

“Hey Chanel,” it said, “I know you’ve been waiting for this VERY IMPORTANT PACKAGE and you pretty much need it TODAY, but guess what? You’re going to have to wait another day! HA HA HA! Isn’t that funny? We at Canada Post pride ourselves in our good humor.”

Naturally, I wasn’t going to take that. So when I happened to glance out my window several hours later and spotted a post man across the street, I decided to chase him down. True, it was quite unlikely that he was the same post man that had tried to deliver my package several hours earlier, but it was worth a shot anyway, right?

So off I went, without makeup or a bra, running across a busy street in my Ked sneakers and blue silk pajama pants. I chased him for half a block before he finally noticed me, and yes folks, THIS IS WHAT CRAZY LOOKS LIKE. I’m just glad (for the post man’s sake, of course) that I managed to get on pj bottoms before I ran out the door.

As it turned out, he wasn’t the same post man who had my package, but he did let me on to a secret. “I bring the undelivered pacakages to the postal outlet”, he said. “I get there around 3pm. You don’t have to wait until tomorrow, just show up today after three and tell the guy behind the postal outlet counter that you really need your package and I’m sure they’ll give it to you.”

Thanks, post man!

   Ah.. postal services always seem to have problems.

   I spent my morning cleaning out our garage. It’s been ages since we’ve fixed anything back there, and it’s looking like a whole new place now. I brought a lot of it to First Aid for other people who may find the things I was getting rid of as handy.

   You know what’s funny? A week or so ago, I blogged this:

   So the UPS guy left a note on my door yesterday saying, “I was here but you weren’t so NOW you have to wait until the next time I come by before you get your new laptop, sucks to be you.”

   GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE :D :D
