Just to be a smart aleck but, you could've got some of those things done on your list if you would've skipped the blog. ;)

Yes, totally worth it. MOST days, anyway. ;-) Not to mention, totally exhausting. ESPECIALLY the running into the post office part. Ugh. If you mail priority you can do it online, which is nice.
