Ruthie --- your envie finally arrived today! I don't know if this was this week's envie or the one you sent last week (no postmark). I haven't had a chance to go through it yet but I know it's going to be great as always! Thank you!
I'm not sure what's happening with the post office lately! Even at my job, I'm getting mail that was postmarked from 2 or 3 weeks prior that should never have taken this long! One thing I DO know is that the USPS contracts out a lot of their work to independent contractors and companies. They pick up mail at certain locations and it gets sorted out elsewhere. My ex-husband used to work p/t at a place where they would be sorting the US mail. Also, at my job, there is just some random guy who picks up our outgoing mail. Our mail is delivered to us by regular USPS employees, though.
