Ugh, I am so angry with Post Canada right now!

They're only open on hours where normal ppl who work to earn a living and who's taxes pay their salaries are AT work.
So yesterday, I rush home, and they were closed at , today, I really rush home, going 140 on the highway, I got there at 5 to, and THEY WERE CLOSED!
So, how are people actually supposed to mail stuff?
Now, unfortunately, I'm not retired, nor do I sit on my steak at home living off the government, so aparantly I cannot visit the post office and mail my stuff :(
Maybe I'll ask my mum to mail it, she's coming tomorrow. I DO have the day off tomorrow, but since it's national holiday, the post office is ALSO closed. :evil:

You'll drive yourself crazy wondering where the extra set came from!
You are doing a fine job BTW and I thank you!

I didn't count my 2nd set which isn't done yet. I only counted my first set which I completed Sunday night!!!

So at least that won't be what drives me crazy :wink:

Whoa, at first I was thinking 140 miles per hour! Then I realized it's probably kilometers? So what does that translate to in miles per hour?

I finished my 2nd set today. I'm calling it Tumbling Zebras. Somebody posted a picture of a similar block. I thought it was Rhonda, but she said ishe didn't post it. If anyone remembers who originally designed it, please let me know, so I can attribute it to her.

It looks easier than it was! I decided to paper piece it, and lining up both the zebras and the outside edges took several attempts in the paper stage. I'm glad I did it with paper first :wink:
