Last night, when I got my mail and brought in the recycling bin, all was perfectly normal at the end of my driveway.
At 9:00 this morning, when my parents picked me up, my mailbox was gone, the post was on the ground, there was a bumper attached to my neighbor's tree and giant ruts in the ditch in front of my lawn.
On the way to Columbus, I called the police non-emergency line, and they said that they had an accident report involving a mailbox from last night, and that the accident was reported because the car had to be towed. The officer told me I can get a copy of the report on Monday.
When we got to Columbus, Mom and Dad and I had lunch, then headed over to meet my brother and family to watch The Awesome Nacho's black belt ceremony at the taekwondo academy. Afterwards, pretty much the entire graduating class went to dinner at House of Hunan, both of my nephews' first experience with hibachi food and service. They both loved it, of course.
Mom missed the turnoff for my house, so we had to take a longer way to get me home, and when I got home, the package I had been expecting wasn't there, so I checked the USPS website for delivery information, and it said "Notice Left."
Um, where? In case you hadn't noticed, THERE'S NO MAILBOX TO LEAVE NOTICES IN.
They could have just left the damn box on the step the way they've left every other box in the last year, but noooooooooo, they had to f up my day.
Anyway, at least I got to see my nephew get his junior black belt, and I had a lemon drop martini at dinner. :)
