At 8:00 am yesterday morning, I went to the post office, once again in search of a 2¢ stamp (and a way to avoid the really long line that seems to form there later in the day). For all of you who were waiting with bated breath to see if I would actually locate the elusive postage, I am happy to report success. I was one of only two customers in the lobby at that hour and my favorite mailman, Wayne, was the only employee at the counter. I purchased twenty 2¢ stamps so I will have enough to finish off that dozen-pack of 37¢ ones at home without having to make yet another pilgrimage to the postage Mecca. Of course, since I purchased my stamps “in bulk,” I will miss having another congenial conversation with Wayne, but sacrifices are often required in life. Wayne and I can catch up on the latest news when I mail my Christmas packages in December (or maybe November so I can avoid the line). Happy mailing!
