So it's Friday already. Friday is Bank & Mail run day. It's the day I make up the various orders that payment has come in on, package them, and ship them. I used to ship orders as soon as they came in for a while. I learned to wait on payment after getting stuck with no payment and no product for weeks. Never got completely screwed with no payment. I was lucky. So, over time I realized that packaging, and going out to the Post Office and Bank 3-4 times a week was a waste of my time. So I developed a Ship Day. That's today.

I have an order that needs to go out today. Problem is my printers black cartridge died completely this week. I kept meaning to go for a walk and buy a new one but I never did. Now I'm looking at walking to the plaza to get a print cartridge, coming home, printing out the various labels and invoices then going back to the plaza to mail it. I hate inefficiency like that.

I think if I'm going out it should be to do as much as possible in the one trip. So if I make both trips about more than the bank/mail run, I should be fine. I have this wonderful photograph of Sarabeth that I want to enlarge to an 8x10 print and frame. Plus there are a couple shots I want to enlarge to 5x7 for gifts. I also need to get the frame for the nasturtium painting. All that I can do down at the plaza as well as get the new print cartridge.

So, that's the plan for today. Do an initial run now to get the print cartridge, deposit the cheques, and put my order in at the Camera Shop. Then come home, fill the order, package it then head out again to ship it and pick up the frame for the new painting... and maybe another one for the 8x10 photograph.
