Not the best of days....

It all started in the morning when I once again told Guillermo that I'm pretty sure water is running somewhere because I hear it running in the bathroom.  I had been hearing that for quite a while but since Guillermo couldn't hear it, I thought maybe that's just the way our bathroom was.  But today he looked into it, walked the yard and sure enough, he found water on the side of our front yard.  Noooooo.....
So, we called a plumber at around 12:30 in the afternoon.  (We didn't discover this earlier in the day because we had gone grocery shopping.)
At around 1pm, the doorbell rang and we thought it was the plumber.  No, it was the mailman who had left a package on our doorstep.  Whaaaaaat??????  It's the package that I had mailed to Japan for Fernando and Eva for Christmas.   Whaaaaaaat????  And here I had been so happy knowing the package was on its way to them.  Instead, the package was back at our house - with a label saying due to security reasons it needs a customs form.  Well of course.  I had filled one out at the Helotes Post Office, after waiting in line for at LEAST 20 minutes.  But the fact is I had filled one out and handed it in to the clerk who took it and apparently put it aside. I didn't question why I didn't get the receipt from that form and I should have.   The clerk must have forgotten to put it on the package before throwing it in the pile of packages to mail.  It seems he should have put the form on the package anyway to send it on its way even if he forgot to give me the receipt.
ANYway, the Helotes Post Offices closed at 1pm, so I had no choice but to run over to a post office that stays open later (by the airport).  That post office was VERY crowded but there was an employee walking around looking for people who needed help and she told me to just fill out a form and she'd make sure the package was sent on its way.
When I get back home, the plumber is STILL not there!!!!  He didn't arrive until 4pm!!!  But he got the leak fixed and now there is no sound of water running in the bathroom.  Nice.  Aaaand that was our day!
