General Delivery
We're getting things done.
New window blinds have been put up.
A garage door opener was installed and it makes coming and going easy now.
We both have appointments set up with new doctors.
We have been invited to a neighborhood block party.
We each have a New Mexico driver's license. The car is registered in New Mexico and we have new plates.
But the one thing we cannot accomplish is getting our first class mail forwarded. Despite multiple trips to the post office, multiple forms submitted, both hard copy and online, and a half hour call to a nice lady at the USPS help line, the best the postal service can tell us is "it isn't working and we don't know why".
If something is sent to our new address, it gets here just fine. But anything sent to our old address goes to random places -- sometimes to our old address despite the forwarding instructions, sometimes to General Delivery here in Santa Fe, and sometimes back to the sender.
We go to the post office downtown every week and retrieve whatever is in General Delivery. We've tried to get the forwarding address to our home here to be recognized, but they can't make it happen.
That's okay. A trip to the central post office once a week is an excuse to go downtown and poke about. The post office is on the street where good restaurants are. It's near the plaza.
But if you are sending me my lottery winnings in the mail, use my new address. I just want to make sure.
