After Two Years


I'm back!  It's been a while, and I truly miss posting on this blog.  Life in California is truly different from the life I led back home, but no complaints.  :)  The transfer and adjustment had been difficult, but the plusses still outweighed the minuses.  Life here is far more difficult  -- maintaining a full-time job, doing house chores and running your own errands, believe me, can be very challenging.  But then, there's better weather, better income, life with fam, an upgraded way of life, plus better future--all of these outweighs the difficulties.  It's just a matter of perspective, really.    Two years has passed...I just felt that it's about time to settle down and go back to my first love....writing.

(And yes,  Triond leaves all that to us to figure out.)...

How To Track International Packages

Image
Are you searching for a way to track your international packages?  Here's how you can do it. It may have happened to you, too  -- you shipped a package outside of the United States, received your receipt from USPS, and tucked it away.  A few days passed and you find yourself wanting to know where your package is.  You retrieved the receipt, entered the set of digits which you thought was the tracking number, and voila,,,no result!  So you thought it may be another set of numbers--and you tried inputting it, too.  But no...still no result!  You tried and tried…and tried…and to your great frustration, you did not get any results at all.  That happened to me.  I sent out a package to Australia and was given a receipt with some numbers encircled by the USPS staff.  I went home assuming that those encircled numbers were the USPS Tracking Number, but those numbers never worked!  And because my attempts on the USPS website were a...
