Unexpected Perk

I needed to mail my last package and several Christmas letters. Last night I stopped by a post office after work and the line was out the wazoo. I decided not to wait because I didn't think I'd get near the front of the line before they closed. So I went to one of the automatic machines to buy stamps for my letters, and they were all sold out. Typical for the season, but still a little crazy.

Today I went to the campus post office. All of the students are gone, as are many of the faculty, so the line was exactly one person long. I mailed my package within a couple of minutes and bought a book of winter-themed stamps. They hadn't sold out! It's nice to get little perks like those, especially when you aren't expecting them.

I am almost completely done with Christmas tasks. We made our last batch of stocking stuff soap and all we need to do is wrap those. Then we should be D-U-N. Then I can relax and read and drink hot cocoa and enjoy a week off of work. Several things to look forward to.
