Good mail day

Came home from a long day of work to find: a pin I ordered online from Black Friday (in the pink envelope), makeup samples, a Xmas card with beautiful lettering from dear Hannah, and an advertisement for Fun Home (a show I hope to see in 2016). Hooray!

P.S. Tomorrow's my last day of teaching for 2015!!

Triple Whammy

I just went out to check the mail (which is now working just fine, as of last week, thanks), and had the best mail SCORE:

Three pieces of mail, all for me. 

1. First issue of the New Yorker subscription Ari got me for Christmas

2. An early birthday postcard from my sister Leah in France. First piece of mail from her! 

3. My new Netflix DVD, which I actually have time to watch tonight! (It's Ed Wood.)

In short, this week is going much better than last week. 

Here's the mail! It never fails!

Except that it did fail.

Ari and I have been living in our new apartment since October 1st. At first we didn't receive mail because our address hadn't been officially registered with the post office, and our building hadn't installed mailboxes yet. Then, when the mailboxes were finally installed, we still didn't get anything, despite the fact that my parents had definitely sent us stuff and friends had asked where to send Christmas cards.

This morning, our neighbor from 2C knocked on our door and handed us a stack of mail. Apparently our mail (2B) is being delivered to his mailbox. Whaaaa??

Why is this such a freaking hassle??

At least I have lots of nice Christmas cards to look at until this thing gets figured out.
