So sue me. I forgot to post yesterday. Big whoop. Life happens. I enjoy having a social life. Nough said.

Ya didn't miss out on much anyways. I had to deliver mail from the auxiliary post office on the west side of town--it's basically the post office that covers the western half of Bloomington. Anyways, I got to cover a street--S. Rogers St. to be exact--that is under road construction. Yikes. Oh, it's a one-way now as well due to said road construction. Therefore I had to split up the route in a variety of sections and do pieces I'd normally do near the end near the beginning. Ugh.

Anyways, got to do a new route today! New route days are always a pain--not knowing the case, not knowing where you are exactly going, all melds into one stressful, confusing mess. However, once you make it through it, you feel pretty good knowing that you are now familiar with a new route. Plus seeing new parts of Bloomington is always swell.

Today also marked a new milestone in my postal career--my first animal attack! I reached out to pet a cat laying on a porch and it swiped at me, scratching my hand.

                                     

As you can see, that little scrape at the top of my hand is the handiwork of that dastardly cat. Yeah, it's very anti-climatic, but it was the first time an animal drew my blood. Yeah it'[s not really significant. Still, that cat's got an attitude problem.

I also got some free chocolate chip cookies! Heck yeah! A kind lady was watering her plants and told me she left some fresh-baked cookies int he mailbox for the mailman today, a.k.a. me. Score! Especially since I didn't pack a lunch for today either. Hehe!
