Matilija Poppies, 5×7″, NFS*
What does “sundry” mean? Various, miscellaneous, separate, diverse. Its use is redundant in the title of this post, but a longer title seems to please the search engines. Maybe I should use all four words. . . but maybe I should just get on with it here.
- I took a calendar to a friend in a convalescent hospital, along with a wrapped book. She received the book, but the unscrupulous front desk did not deliver the calendar. When I called to ask about it, my inquiry was met with surly and suspicious defensiveness. Ugh. My friend was scheduled for release last week, so I saved the final calendar for her return home.
- A customer in North Carolina ordered a calendar, and it was never received. First Class Large Envelopes don’t have tracking through the USPS.
- Since the calendars are sold out, I looked into reordering. The smallest quantity is 10 calendars, which would cost me $23 each. Nope. I told the North Carolina customer that I’d send her a refund check.
- Something told me to verify the North Carolina address before sending the check. Sure enough, she had given me the wrong one, and she told me to forget the refund.
- If the calendar makes its way back to me, I will mail to her at the right address.
- The List of Calendar Ideas now contains nine different suggestions. Maybe I can design for nine years ahead.
*NFS means Not For Sale

Prelude (that’s MusicTalk for Forward): I received today’s blog entry, so I think I’m signed up again! But I still don’t see the option to receive reply notifications by email, so I’ll see if I get a nudge that there is a reply to my comment. That is, if the CVA does reply!
1. I suppose you could think of it as a compliment that someone would swipe your calendar for his/her own use. Still rude and unscrupulous, though!
4. That’s kind of her, although it was her mistake and all.
5. You SHOULD get it back, as long as your return address is on the envelope. Unless someone at the USPS also swipes your calendar (another compliment)!
6. Looking forward to see what you come up with for 2024!
Sharon, who knew that distributing a calendar would be difficult?
