It Feels Like Monday

Even though it is Tuesday, it already feels like a Monday. You know the day right after the weekend where everything that can go wrong will. I had signed up for a Netflix free trial. I had two movies that needed to be returned. I usually take my stuff to the office to be mailed because we go to the post office every day. Chad had filled out a check for the phone company and wanted me to drop it off in the drop box at the phone company on my way in. It is past due after today and if not paid, our phone will be cut off. I had forgotten to go by the phone company so I was going to circle around the block. To circle around, I had to go right by the p.o. boxes (4 of them in a row) in front of the p.o. I thought, well, while I am here I will mail the Netflix movies. I dropped them in the box and pulled up to turn. I looked down to get the phone company envelope and it was gone. Yep...I dropped it in the box with no postage and no return address. It did have my husband's name and our phone number on it. I circled around the block and went back to the p.o., went inside and rang the bell at the service door. The p.o. was not open yet because it was 8:10. The lady went to find the key and came out. I pointed to the box that I thought I had used. Boy my mind isn't what it used to be. We went through the box and there was no sign of the envelope. There were plenty of Netflix envelopes which made it more confusing. So we went through two more boxes and still no sign of the envelope. I know I didn't use the very last box, so we didn't check it. We went through them again. At this point, I said don't worry about. I guess I will just have to go pay the bill at lunch and hope that the envelope turns up.

I think the p.o. mail boxes are like the black hole. This is not the first time that something has gotten lost in the mail! Has that ever happened to you? I feel like an idiot!
