Between holidays; thats what today is. It's December 26th, the day after Giftpig Day. The Giftpig gifts that were all wrapped up have all been opened, evaluated as to whether they're "keepers", and the little piggies' appetites are all whetted for the time being. But the traffic at the malls and stores are still horrendous; those giftpig shoppers are trying to snap up After Giftpig Day bargains.

Ugh.

We got up this morning around 10:00 AM. Kind of a cool morning, but the kind of day I like in south Louisiana around this time of the year. It can actually be tolerable; cool and little or no humidity. We've been putting off getting the donations out to the NO/Aids Task Force for a little while, but since its the end of the year and the organization really needs the donation, it was just time to do it. First order of business was to get to the post office to buy the money orders ( no checking account yet for the Grizzlies...thats another time and chore), but the post office was closed as today was a federal holiday. So, Winn Dixie was the next best stop for the money orders. No biggie.

Since we were out doing Grizzlies business, we figured it was time to get a P.O. Box. Again, since the post office was closed, that option was eliminated, but I don't think it was a realistic one anyway as since the Katrina disaster you really can't find post office boxes at the post office these days. Fortunately, there's a UPS Store right near us that had boxes available for $10 a month, so we wound up there,went ahead and got the box for a six month period. We can gauge the mail volume during that time and see if we really do need it, but I think we will no matter what.

Small steps, but eventually we'll get there.

Always between something it seems.
