I got mail, all at once!

Today all of the sudden I am Mr. Popular when it comes to Mail and special deliveries. The day started with me receiving a special package. A conversation with an ex-office mate of mine, triggered me to check my bonuslink points, and I realized, I lost my Bonuslink card when I was robbed years ago. I also had a few points that were expiring soon, so I redeemed a leather wallet and belt. Today, the first package to arrive was this. And I did the wallet migration, and even changed belts to the new one. And I thought that was it.

Then a few hours later, as I passed the receptionist, I had even more stuff. 3 letters, one of which was my replacement bonuslink card. The other 2 were from Australia! Woohooo!

The first from Sara was a letter she wrote to me on 3rd of August, and if you really pay attention, its posted on a First Day Cover. I know allot of people will say, Whats that? Read the except bellow from Wikipedia :-

The first day of issue is the day on which a postage stamp, postal card or stamped envelope is put on sale, within the country or territory of the stamp-issuing authority. Sometimes the issue is made from a temporary or permanent foreign or overseas office. There will usually be a first day of issue postmark, frequently a pictorial cancellation, indicating the city and date where the item was first issued, and “first day of issue” is often used to refer to this postmark.

A first day cover (FDC) is an envelope where the postage stamps have been cancelled on their first day of issue. Depending on the policy of the nation issuing the stamp, official first day postmarks may sometimes be applied to covers weeks or months after the date indicated.

Then I got a package. Sara sent me a book she saw that she though I would really love, especially with my new diet plans.

Its basically a cookbook filled with unique ideas on what to have for lunch. It has ideas for salads, sandwiches, and all other things that one could fit in a lunch box. It all healthy ideas, and for all ages, even kids. I will try some of them real soon :)

On this day in History..
