Today has actually sucked: my water's been turned off so I couldn't do all my smelly laundry from the trip, Australia Post jacked up their postcard prices on me, and a whole host of other things happened. However, there was a huge bright spot in my day... it's the sun! Yesterday rained but today it's bright and sunny.
Just kidding. I mean, it is sunny, but that wasn't the bright spot today. It came in my mailbox.
I absolutely love the mail and it sometimes going to the mailbox is my favorite part of my day. Today was special because it marked the first mail I received in Australia.*
And it was even better because I got not one but two envelopes, and one had a special bookmark in it!
So thanks!

The US stamp costs $1.10 for any mail up to one ounce. Same price for a postcard. However, your reaction to getting and opening mail is priceless :)
