Very early Thursday

 Ron made some noise last night but it wasn't intentional.  I didn't sleep well.  Up at 5, coffee was hot thanks to my timer (really a game changer to put coffee pot on a timer and have it hot and fresh when I wake).  I dosed Ron and then took MY pills with the coffee.  And my mood is already better.  

Chewy let me know my brother will get his gift today, how's that for fast shipping?  ONE DAY and he lives out in the country.  Really happy about that, hope he likes it.  

I figured he would rather get gifts for his critters vs. something for himself right now.  He is a very kind man (although I wouldn't want to cross him) and has a big heart for them.  They are all rescues, one cat he found in a dumpster.  He has a black cat, as well, and 2 that belonged to a lady with dementia. 

Anyway happy about that.  I sat on the floor yesterday - oh I forgot.  

I opened my front door to find 3, shrink wrapped parcels of Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes.  SIXTY total.  I do not need 60 mailing boxes.  I took 10 out of one and have the 50 set off to the side to go back to the post office.  I had asked for THREE boxes and they sent 60.  

Too bad I can't take them to work!  So, I had plenty of boxes to ship my brother's, and my Dad's, packages.  I like to tape the boxes up pretty well, this time in particular because I have heavier items.  So I did the one box and then the other, then loaded.  I won't say WHAT right now but I think they are good gifts for each recipient.  And they fit nicely in the boxes. I did run out of bubble wrap, I needed more than 6  square feet per box.  One item required rather extensive wrapping as it is more expensive and that used most of one roll right there. 

They are all loaded, I just need a few small things for my brother and the wrap, then I can mail them.  Since it's only 2 boxes I can mail them on my own with a Uber.  I remember one time they had a really bad tornado in South Dakota and my friend Tammy said she would take a case of Bibles to hand out to the victims.  That was pretty heavy to move!  A case is about 25 pounds. I lift pretty heavy things on a regular basis so not a problem but I do wonder how she got it.    

That is one thing I have HATED about sending Bibles on to others, they NEVER let me know what they did with them.  One reason I was always so diligent about doing Handout updates every time.  People like to know it did some good.  

I just called Jack we are ON for today.  Going to Sam's Club and then work to stock (I stock alone).  It shouldn't take too long, I only have $300 for inventory.  😂
