In the midst of no power, no water, no gasoline it is easy to forget about the mail. It appears that happened at the post office too.
We haven't had mail in a week. No junk mail, no first class mail, no bills, no catalogs. I would guess stuff we mailed is in limbo too. I fear getting one of those "you have to come to the post office to get your mail" notices. Which translates to a long wait in a cold line to get a crate stuffed with dollar off coupons, in store shopping fliers, of course the catalogs and three pieces of "useful" <bills> mail that you better not miss.
And we must not forget that the post office isn't allowed overtime or extra mail runs. Wonder how long it takes to unwind this fiasco? Does this make us "exceptional"?
Same thing with other deliveries. No Amazon packages for a week. We have an order for rise and bake croissants somewhere in transit. Maybe it didn't thaw in the shipping container? DO you have any idea how tasty it would be to find a plate of hot home cooked pastries on the table for breakfast this morning? I mean toast is fine, but a hot, flaky piece of perfection slathered with peach jam put up last summer is a gift from the Gods. Instead, I'll get a slice of ten day old wheat bread toast - extra dry.
