Crafts and the postal strike

We're in the middle of a Canada Post strike. I am anxiously awaiting a new camera. They mailed it with Canada Post 3 days prior to the strike. It is in limbo. Originally they said there was a delay, Nov. 15th, on the 21st they admitted they don't know!

💸💰I am getting creative. Many companies want you to sign up for eBills, which are great during a postal strike. What I have found in my work with seniors is that this can get tricky. Usually one person does the bills, right? If something happens to that person, how will the partner know what needs to be paid? I pay all our bill online. During the strike, that is perfect. The trick is finding out what you owe. I made a list after our bank account fraud situation, and it was a quick check to determine what was due when, and which companies demand autopay on a credit card. Life is so complicated!

I spotted a post on Facebook. Then, I remembered I had to pay our Hydro bill. When I did so, I realized I owed $8 and I had mistyped the amount last month. Oopsie. But we're not failing! (Don't tell the kids!)

Then, I realized we'd had a propane delivery (just a top up), and I might as well pay that bill. 


What does someone do when faced with 32.5 mm (25 mm = 1") rain over two days? 

I've a couple issues with this material. It was a panel cut out of a larger flannel piece. The red bleeds, and it was probably not a good choice. She warned me to wash it separately. I soaked it in a vinegar solution, hoping for the best. I may have to do a new one!!! Ah well. That happened to me before. 



I'm not complaining about the rain. It's not like we had a Bomb Cyclone, like Jesse had in Vancouver! He ran out to get new hinges when the door was blown off the shed.

We just had lovely pouffy clouds afterwards.


I've removed the flag on the left. It just doesn't hang well here. It's on the flag pole broken by the arses who stole my Pride flag. I'll have to ponder that one. I don't think I have a seasonal flag. 

I'll leave you with our deer friends. It is rutting season and the deer are a little antsy. There were two here. Later on during my drive I spotted a herd of 5.
