I just went down to UPS to return some Verizon components. Verizon had given us a return UPS label, so there wasn't really a choice who to use. I had to buy a box there, and for one small package box I was charged $4.50. U-Haul charges less than $4 for their large boxes. UPS apparently sells moving boxes as well now, but given the prices of their small shipping boxes, I can't imagine how much they're charging for the moving boxes.

UPS is rather pointless anyway (unless your a large corporation with a mass shipping deal). FedEx is faster and more reliable, the USPS is cheaper. UPS seems the worst of both worlds and I tend to avoid them unless I'm required to use them like today.

I found out that I can pay my bills at Junior's, which is a convenience store just one block away. It costs only $1 to do it (which is less than the price of a stamp plus a money order), I don't have to go all the way down to the post office, and it is credited immediately! I'm very happy with this discovery and will be paying all the bills I am in charge of at Junior's from now on.

Did some catching up on reading my friends page at purpleglitter’s house. Haven't been able to read it much lately. I’ll try to keep up more regularly when my new apartment gets an internet connection.

I went to the post office today, and found that the scanner borggrrl sent me had arrived. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but I’m very excited to be able to scan again.

Thank you, borggrrl.

Back from my excursion out to find wing material, check the mail, and refill my Spironolactone. First stop was the 5 and 10 to look for material. They didn't have what I needed, but by the time I'd reached it the backs of my feet (especially my left foot) were in pain.

I made my way to the post office, picked up my mail. Nothing really interesting; just bills, junk mail, and catalogs. By the time I'd reached the post-office I was walking with a hobble, as my feet were killing me. I decided not to continue on to Walgreens, and instead headed back home.

On the way, so as not to make the effort a total loss, I stopped by the hardware store and picked up some door hinges so I can reattach the livingroom door -- A necessity now that we are soon to have roommates.

Back home I quickly slipped off my shoes to find, unsurprisingly, large ripped blisters on the backs of both my feet. I can't wait until these damn shoes are broken in. It's little wonder I completely wear my shoes out before seeking a new pair. I know I will have to make the trek to Walgreens later tonight, as I am completely out of Spironolactone. I may just go ahead and wear my dying old shoes. They may be falling apart, but at least my feet won't be.
