One photo every day: The mailbox (41/365)

Now that I am getting older every day and walking is more difficult than it used to be, I have recognized one thing that has not bothered me before but it bothers now. That matter is the distance to our mailbox. It is very annoying and uncomfortable to walk to the mailbox. You could say that I am a victim of shareholders of the Post. Especially when the temperature is -20 degrees and the ground is icy on the way. Recently, they made our house community (several streets) re-locate our mailboxes so that they could deal our daily letters and other advertises quicker and more efficiently. I guess that is a normal procedure because nowadays time is money and that is the way things are working.

It means that to make shareholders happy, I have to walk a distance that is three times longer than before to get the mail. Yes, I know this is a first world problem but it is still a very bad change for a relatively old lady like me.

It's healthy when you walk in the fresh air.

It seems to be in the middle of the street, it's a pity that sometimes they do not think about what is best for the client

Here in Venezuela I do not have that problem. I have not received mail for years, and basically the postal service only exists in name
:P

btw very nice photo ;)

So you don't receive mail at all? How do you get your bills?

I simply do not receive them
:P
I do not receive bills in my house for more than 5 years, so if the service companies do not send them, they took out campaigns as for the environment and those things but really, 70% of the bills did not reach their destination

So do you not have to pay them? :D

You know there are people who for this situation simply get tired and stop paying for the service like electricity or water, or let it accumulate bills for months
:P

Wow. Does that mean that you can't really order something online?

yes but we use entrustment services like MRW, Domesa or zoom and we look for the package in their offices

It's weird how sometimes walking to the kitchen can feel too hard but then I go for a 7km walk right after that and don't even feel tired. Well, I'm young so that probably explains it.

It is so, that when you are going for a walk, you are motivated and have the energy for that. It is a bit different when you have to go outside when there is cold and walk this ''short'' distance in your slippers just to get your morning paper right after waking up.

Hey @darja59, great post! I enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work! It's always nice to see good content here on Steemit! Cheers :)

Thank you!

This looking so could i really hope the poor mailman do not deliver the mail every day in this crazy weather

Do acutely still get stuff in the mail? do you get everything to your email or can't you find it in Steemit :)

By her story, can I deduce that she lives alone?
I ask it since, an option, is that it looks for a son or a grandson, the mail.
and that way you do not walk so much, and less with that temperature that says.

By the way I loved the picture of your house, I comment today when I went to take my daughters to school at 6:45 am, we find this blessing of God this beautiful dawn I can send a picture?
