That sounds good. I also, interestingly, found two letters that I believed I had mailed weeks ago, *but they were for work*. Uh-oh. They got immediately mailed, and I was grateful I hadn't cashed my paycheck, since one was the bank deposit!!!!!!

Oh, mine were work letters as well. And I forget to drop them in the mailbox while I was out. *sigh*

However, all the clean surfaces are making me happy.

I was decluttering in my office at work the other week, and I found a check for an embarrassingly large amount that I had failed to deposit in ... 2009. !!!!!

Luckily there was sort of a halfway good reason I hadn't deposited it then, we got it sorted out, and the issuer sent us a new one which is now safely in the bank account. It's nice when that kind of thing turns out all right despite the embarrassment!
