I should have gotten a new email address

I've officially started the job search. I've applied online to a few postings, and now I get spammed in my inbox. Gosh, that's aggravating. Craigslist, Boo!

So, we have a new President! I'm excited and curious to see how he proposes to fix things. I think he may just be the pill to cure the ill. We needed a fresh perspective up on the hill. I like him. (So far...)
The times, they are a-changin'.

I got the P.O. Box. I went to the Abbeville Post Office and the man there said he couldn't rent me one without a Louisiana state issued I.D. I said: "Are you kidding? Shreveport did." and he told me that they violated a rule if they did. So I drove to the town of Perry and rented one. I think he must have misunderstood some rule. The purpose of a P.O. Box is so that you can get your mail when you are in a different town. My current address is an R.V. park, and I need a mailing address. Otherwise, what address would I put on a State Issued I.D.? That's just crazy to tell me that I can't rent a P.O. Box. But I really wanted an Abbeville address, so I'm kinda disappointed that I have a Perry address. Both of the Post Offices said I could just have my mail sent "General Delivery, town, state, zip", and they would hold it for me. I never considered that. I always thought you had to rent a box. That's cool that you can just have mail sent General Delivery. I wouldn't do it though. I don't need somebody misplacing it, or saying that they can't find my mail. I don't trust that at all. I know how people are...
Anyway, my W-2 is on it's way. Yayyyy!

I found a shop to take the truck. I need the carb looked at. The choke doesn't engage in the mornings, and the vacuum advance isn't kicking in so when I put it in gear it stalls. Also, I'm going to need the AC recharged before it gets hot around here. It is impossible to survive these summers without a good AC. I think I'll scrounge up some money and go ahead and let John fix those three things.

The scar on my nose where I got the skin cancer removed is red and swollen. I really hope it's just an embedded pimple. That skin is too thin and sensitive to try and work it around. Oh, I sincerely hope it's just a pimple. Though a pimple on the side of my nose is not the most attractive thing in the world, it sure beats the alternative. It started acting up after I drove around with the sun shining through the window on that side of my face. I got a little sunburned there, and my neck has a white stripe from the collar of my shirt. I must use SPF 40 face lotion. The last time I bought Oil of Olay, they didn't have the SPF face lotion, so I just bought the plain-jane stuff. When it runs out, I promise to always buy the SPF Face Lotion. I just hope it's not too late.
P.S. I also have three darkening age-spots recently appeared on my face. Two on my left temple, and one on my right cheek. Welcome to middle-age, Amber.
Why, oh why, couldn't I have been born with darker, easily tanned skin instead of raging brilliance? Just kidding.
...or am I?

You have a great day.
