where in the world are you?

At the beginning, it was my husband's assignment to check the mail.  He does it regularly--as in once a week, and that was okay.

But one week suddenly felt too long once I started (restarted?) buying things online.  If an item is being shipped using forwarders other than FedEx and DHL, tracking information provided are not really helpful.  

Shipped.

In transit.

Customs Cleared.

It isn't even telling of the location.

So everyday from the date of expected delivery, I wait.

Everyday, I ask my husband 'Did anything come in?'

'I will check on Saturday'  he would say.

'Ummmm.  Can you check now?  Please.'

'I can check tomorrow.'

One certain day, I felt I needed to know at once.

I went to our mailbox myself. 

Since then, I had claimed ownership of our mailbox.

---

I am especially waiting for a package that had been shipped to me more than two weeks ago.

Everyday, I hope.  

I hope that when I open that mailbox, there is a note there from the postman that tells me my package is here.
