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'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.

I pay what I can online, which is just about everything. Some things are automatic -- hydro, water, property taxes etc.
That bomb cyclone did much damage...sorry to hear about that. Nice banners/flags. Yep let's make some baby deer!
Hello,
I hope the postal strike does not last long, it is a bad time of the year with so many holiday cards and gifts being mailed.
Love the deer photos. Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy new week!
Postal strikes are definitely hard on the postal customers, namely, everybody! I hope they settle and you get your new camera.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Paying online is so much faster than writing out checks, but you're right it's easy to miss something. We finally got a bit of rain, I can't believe his door was blown off!
I am getting there with my paying my online bills...So easy and so convenient. Like you, I pay all the bills online and I need to teach Sam how to do this. The deer are really moving in our area and several people have posted pictures of their Big kill... Hoping that the strike ends early for you guys. Happy Sunday Jenn.
Thank you Jenn
Sigh at the postal strike. I hope it is resolved quickly.
I love your letter box decoration.
I am trying to think of a bill we do not pay online, and I cannot think of one. Most are on auto pay, so I do not even have to worry about remembering to pay them.
I pay all my bills online as well. I've showed my daughter where all my passwords to everything is written in a notebook in case something happens to me,
Paying on line is fine until the credit card gets hacked. My new one is, yes, in the mail.
The strike has thrown many curves at us. there doesn't seem to be much going on to find a solution.
I pay a couple of bills through auto pay with our bank that would be phone and electric. Since I had an issue with the LP company they don't get any online payments. I drop the payment off when I go to town. I should only have one bill this winter.
I have everything set since I am the only one who does the bills, so that my son could step in easily and handle things.
He is much more modern than I am.
