REPollock Question: I‘ll be traveling on opening day. Should I post the day before or after? 6y
NCNY My bell rang earlier today and I thought it might be my package. It turned out to be a Korean jehovahs witness trying to convert me. 😡 I'm dying for it to be the 15th already! 6y
heikemarie Thank YOU everyone!! 6y
heikemarie @REPollock Whatever feels good in your soul! I‘ve actually done both ways depending on how much I wanted to wait 😬 6y
heikemarie @NCNY ARGH proselytizing is a dirty trick!! Yours is scheduled to arrive Wednesday 😉 6y
heikemarie @Betty Now I‘m just stressed that the packages will travel on time! 6y
batsy Thanks for your email. I'm not sure if mine is due to arrive on time or later, so I'll just be stalking the mailbox 😬 6y

Forgot to post this the other day.

A #2018nfbe #2018nonfictionbookexchange package went in the post on Thursday & has made it as far as New York so far. I'm hoping this means it'll actually make it to my match on time - I'd left it a little later than I'd intended... (Sorry! I lost a week somewhere!)

Everything crossed for the next 2 weeks! 🤞🙅‍♂️🕴🏻🎿🎻⚔️🖇🤞😉

rockpools ... and now it's hit customs. Thought it was all going a little too well 🐢 6y
rockpools & hopefully that's it delivered now 🤞. In which case it got there in record time... 6y
rockpools Hi @Mdargusch ! USPS say this was "left with an individual " on Thursday morning. I'm hoping the individual belonged to your address and has tucked it away for safekeeping. Just checking it hasn't gone AWOL. ?Thanks ? 6y
Mdargusch So sorry! I forgot to post my photo. It‘s safe and sound . Thank you! 😁 6y
rockpools @Mdargusch Hooray! Sorry to be a worry-bucket - completely paranoid about international mail. Pretty paranoid about UK mail too, come to that! 😘 6y

I'm a big fan of non-fiction. When I'm not reading a book, I've got my nose in a magazine article. I am really enjoying the pieces in this book...short, well written, and diverse in their subjects. Now it's back to start the next chapter...

While everyone else went to get Harry, I sent to see the new movie Don't Think Twice with a Q & A with Ira Glass. Because I have to admit, he's my secret imaginary best friend! Totes worth it!
