Get 'r Done

 We have been getting things done here, and for whatever reason, it seems to be moving along without 'hiccups'.

Today, I walked out of the house with my to-do list. Tim had a list of his own. He dropped me off at the bank. Despite multiple assurances that the bank's hands were tied, two teller trips to the manager's office to discuss the situation (I was pretty sure the teller did not understand what I was explaining), I finally was allowed to speak directly to the manager. I explained the situation, she immediately understood what I needed and she did it. She also took the extra step of calling the main office to double make sure the issue was resolved. I appreciated that. I was in and out of her office in ten minutes flat.

From there, I walked to the post office with some letters. We had our mail forwarded to the new address. It took two tries to get that accomplished, but it got done. Except that we began getting mail addressed to other people at the old house!

I was directed to the postmaster. After a brief conversation with him, that problem was resolved.

Then it was out the door and over to the library. For our wedding gift to our daughter and almost son-in-law, we got them tickets to a theater event they wanted to see. Since we still do not have our computer set up, I needed to print them off there.

One interesting thing happened there. Someone had left their cellphone beside the computer, so I took it up to the desk and turned it in. Immediately, this caused great agitation. One of the librarians made a big deal about 'what are we going to do with it' and 'I am not touching it!' (Repeated multiple times). I am not sure why she was so upset by the phone. Surely it was simple enough to put the phone behind the counter for safekeeping until someone realized they'd misplaced it and began retracing their steps. The issue was debated for far longer than I thought it needed to be.

But in any case, the tickets were printed out. At about the same time, my phone rang. Tim was finished with his list. Perfect timing.

We got a few groceries and headed home. Yesterday, we had gotten our freezer loaded onto the truck and down to the new house. I got it defrosted overnight and wiped it down. We got it unloaded and into the basement with minimal difficulty. 

Has anyone heard of this cheese? I had never tried it before, but we both think it is the best cheddar we have ever had.

So anyways, I was happy with the day's work and I felt quite accomplished. I reminded myself that:
