Packing And Shipping

baking, everyday life 1 Minute

I need to count how many total packages I have already mailed; I think it’s more than twenty. Even when I have more than half the addresses in the USPS address book, it still takes time to weigh the parcel, click “does not contain,” enter the dimensions, print the label, cut it out, and attach it. To be honest, when I did it at the kiosk during the after-hours in Palatine, it seemed faster! Or maybe I am getting older and becoming slower 😂.

The last batch was shipped yesterday:

And if you look closer, you will see one more small cookie tin in the background: I received a parcel from Kentucky!

One more angel – or is it a firebird? – on my tree!
One more card over my fireplace!
… and the cookies will mostly go to my girls 🙂

Shipping update:

  • Most of my US parcels have reached their destination
  • The total mailed is twenty-seven.
  • Also, there are(will be) five that I am passing, not mailing, because I will see people in person.
  • And so far, six more I gifted, plus I brought cookies to work twice.
  • Which makes it forty 🙂

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
