There are multiple reasons why, when I made the trip in the other direction last summer, I chose to drive.

(I have mostly pried myself off the ceiling by now. Monday evening through Tuesday day was...not pleasant.)

It is 4:55pm, and I am frustrated. I've had a package "pending acceptance" at a Los Angeles post office for over a month now, and can't file an inquiry because it is "pending acceptance". And it's my asthma inhaler refill. >:(

I can see where that would be frustrating - beyond frustrating, actually!  There's really no way to file an enquiry because of that pending acceptance status?  Can you query it with the issuer, maybe?  How incredibly annoying -and I'm guessing probably worrying- for you!

Unfortunately, I've tried filing a complaint, but the USPS web site won't even let me past the message that it's not eligible for an inquiry.

I've gotten an emergency refill from my doctor, which I picked up directly from the pharmacy. The thing is that mail-ordering my inhaler is a bit cheaper, because I get a five-month supply, versus a two-month supply if I pick it up from the pharmacy. (Two cost $40; five cost $90.)

It is 5:10 pm, and I am working on a "Get to know me" slide for work, and don't have enough girls' trip pictures. (Photography is more my sister's thing.)

It is 17:05 and I am most definitely in the midst of a mid-life crisis, having just impulsively spent £300 on a ticket to see P!nk in London in June...!  As my husband said to me, though, when am I ever going to get a chance to see P!nk live again?

It is 1:14PM and, being wrong in all the right ways, I am raising my glass.   Enjoy the show!

It's a week before the equinox, and I am ready for winter to be DONE.
