New Post Office Friend??

Wow ... the rain did fall, making it even MORE obvious that the gutters need to be cleaned.   This round turned out to be half an inch in fifteen minutes, even with the blue sky.  It hasn't rained in California like that in ages!!  At least this time it was short and sweet, meaning I actually got some sleep last night.  Even Cooper didn't want to get up this morning!!

My handy dandy spice racks showed up yesterday.  As much as I hate Amazon's big business attitude and ridiculous fees to be a prime member, they are fast on the draw when it comes to delivery.  I hate them but I love them!  

There are two of these, one being plenty big enough for the door hanging spice rack, so I will find a spot for the other one ... maybe in the bathroom for towels.  I do need to take more than one bath towel since mine ended up on the floor for Cooper.  It's hard to dry off with washcloths.

I spent more time than I wanted trying to get ahold of the insurance lady about the check they sent back.  No one could figure it out, so I'm delivering it to her today so she can credit my account.  I'm just shaking my head over that one.  I paid it, they sent me a refund check and billed my loan company???

Next up, the dreaded Post Office.  They definitely are not my favorite since having all the boxes broken into and not notifying anyone, or at least not me.  I've finally learned, after all these many years, that I have to get my attitude in ship shape before I go there.  It's going to take forever, there will be a really long line and I will have to explain things to them like talking to a wall.  Just relax ... you've got all day.

Luckily I pulled in just as the ambulance pulled out, so I got a parking spot.  Probably someone who had a heart attack from dealing with the government office.  Hallelujah the guy who gave me the 4 month extension on holding my mail, was at the counter, complete with 1" holes in his ears and tattoos from one end to the other.  It doesn't bother me, it just makes me wonder.

Remember me?  I gave him my spiel.  Yes he did and he was nice as could be.  He put all my mail in my bag, WITHOUT all that sale crap.  If they can do that when they are holding your mail, why can't they do that with your P. O. Box??  I throw away 80% of the contents of my large box.

I went outside and sorted through it in the truck.  I was throwing letters and junk everywhere!!  At last I found the four pieces of paper required to get my tax documents off to the CPA.  Yes I'm an accountant and should do my own, but it's WAY too complicated.

Back in I went with my big box to be mailed.  When he saw me coming, he said "deja vu"!!!  We carried on a conversation while he waited on three people.  I laughed because this was the first time I've been in here and not been furiously mad!!!  It was actually a good experience.  I have a new friend at the Post Office!!

Back to the RV ... this is my latest want/need thing I'm going to try and make for the rig.  I have a huge hole in the same place where I want to carry my bbq, but getting it in and out is a pain.  This would be perfect!!  Not sure I can install a drawer, but I'm going to try.

Dinner was basically from a can.  Here's my tip of the day.  Since beef is so expensive at the moment, I fried up half hamburger and half ground chicken.  You cannot tell the difference at all, and the chicken is cheaper.  I dumped in cans of rotel tomatoes, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce and olives and layered it in this springform pan with tortillas and cheese.

Be sure to wrap the bottom in foil so it doesn't drip all over your oven.  I baked it at 350 for 45 minutes, then let it set up a bit before removing the sides.  Instant enchilada casserole.

It was quite tasty as I celebrated a good day at the Post Office ..... a first!  Today will be another special day worth celebrating ....... BINGO!!!!!
