Happy November!

I have not been busy at all lately. I started staying at my mom's house at the beginning of October. My relationship with Bobby ended in September and so my mom has been kind of taking care of money-related things for me since Bobby was the one with the job! It also has been super nice and fun to be around my family all the time, definitely a great distraction.

Unfortunately, I am completely unorganized as far as mail goes since I am sleeping on a couch and only brought a few of my mail supplies with me. I haven't found the motivation to take pictures of incoming letters and postcards, although I made sure to take pictures of outgoing!

October was busy with a mini-vacation and a few job interviews. Thankfully I was able to find a job and started working a few days ago. I am really happy and I can not wait to receive my first paycheck! Also, the job is right down the street from my house so when I move back, I can start walking to work. Convenient, since I gave Bobby our Jeep. I may buy a bicycle soon.

I picked up my mail last week and was fortunate enough to find a letter from Courtney sitting in my box (today I got another from her!). She is one of my newer pen pals from Australia and a wonderful mail friend! She sent me this letter just to send some cute things my way. In the letter she mentioned me not posting here for awhile which inspired me to, hopefully, start posting more regularly. Although it has taken me almost a week to write this! It is always weird for me to post after such a long time not doing it. Motivation: I don't have it :)

Here is Courtney's letter and goodies, all safe and sound in a beautiful (handmade!) envelope.

She sent me some US postage after reading I was out of small denomination stamps. And those dinosaur stickers! Lovely.

Look at that pterodactyl! Cutie.


Tomorrow I hope to bust out my received mail stack and take pictures. Hopefully another post soon!!
