Short post about a long day
Dec. 11th, 2021 10:10 pmThe calendars arrived a week early, about 2 hours before UPS said they would be here.
So all day was spent on that. I'm pretty organized:
Set up the wide camp table
Opened two 25-packs of calendars
Applied copyright/email notice labels to the back of each calendar
Got out 40 envelopes
Applied return address and first class labels
Got out the stash of address labels and stamps
Saw that at least three addresses were old so ran mailmerge against the latest spreadsheet
Applied address labels and the appropriate amount of stamps: $4.30 for Canada, $9 for other international, $2.40 for USA
Put a calendar in each envelope and sealed
About 1/3 of the way youngest sister calls and we chat. I discover I can talk and stuff envelopes at the same time
Set aside one envelope because the recipient has no mailing address at the moment
Put the envelopes in a Red Lobster brown paper carry bag
Put copyright labels on another 25 calendars which will be given locally closer to NYE
Put the table away.
Watched Gold Rush and part of Outdoor Nevada
Twitter, made some comments
Took a nap
Brought Jade some canned food, she mostly ignored me.
Spook hung out on the sofa through most of the day.
Time for bed
Tomorrow:
PO, slide those envelopes into an inside mail slot
3:30 Skype with a friend
