Mailing extravaganza

Dude. So many envelopes, so many stamps.

To contrast the ubersciencey fiesta I had last weekend, I tried to make this past weekend more relaxing and practical. Part of the roster included finishing the thank-you notes for the two wedding showers I had over x-mas.

I’m a little ashamed it took this long to get them done (Christmas to nearly April!). But my mom always told me that it’s much better to send thank you notes late than not at all. So there you go. Andy kindly addressed the envelopes, and that helped make it less maddening. It took more than 50 envelopes (I know because I ran out of thank-you notes and had to drive to Target).

Now they are done, and I didn’t realize how much it was bugging me to not have them done. Tossing the stacks upon stacks into the mail slot felt sublime. I’m going to pretend I won’t need to write exponentially more thank-you notes for the wedding (in theory, not being presumptious!!!).

It’s was 75 yesterday, which was great but not so great at the same time: no air conditioning in the lab. I feel like spring has come really fast this year. I’m not complaining.

It's just plain silly. But hey! It's done! And now mom can stop asking me if they're done yet!
