Engage your "undefined" or "spiritual" powers and senses, and live in appreciation of the blessings you already have. Happiness, it is said, is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Besides all of which, my mail is trucked to Reno ( where the Himalayan Imports base outside Nepal is located ) to get cancelled and my pusher ( er, purveyor of fine quality cutlery ) can take a call from me Monday morning, put the knife in the afternoon mail, and unless road construction delays the mail truck, I can count on the card in the mailbox by 9 AM Tuesday morning. One time I called the day before and the Post Office opened five minutes early, and I was opening the package at 7:55 AM.
The downside is that though once they reach the US I can have them next day by regular insured priority mail, getting them from Nepal to the US is iffy. No big deal, I don't get excited til a shipment gets over here and a picture is posted on the website. Then khukuriholism sets in, and I tell myself "Just twenty-four hours, get on the forum, and take it an hour, a minute, a breath at a time. You've done it before, and you haven't run amok yet. Barely."
Plus I hate weekends. If it gets mailed Friday I have to wait til Monday to pick it up and I'm not sure there was time to get it in the mail, so if it isn't here tomorrow, then I'll have to wait til Tuesday. In which case I'll have to go out and kill something to relieve my frustration.
And PS, I don't know if my latest got into the mail already, or if it'll go out ( hyperventilating ) tomorrow and I'll have to wait til Tuesday. I will NOT email my dealer today to ask him if it got out. I won't, I won't, I won't......... Uncle Bill?

. Every truck that drives by my house sounds like the UPS truck(or USPS, FedEx, what-not, let's not get into that
). Now small cars are starting to sound like it too!
