I’ve just finished my first week of delivering fliers. Next week will be tricky when I add two more routes!

The fliers I deliver are the bi-weekly coupons, local information, and other material that folks wait for to plan their weekly shopping. So, except for the odd barking dog and lots of wind, this is a pleasant gig. Quite a few people meet me at the door, eager to get started on their coupon clipping. This afternoon was particularly nice; I waited and waited for the temperature to rise above zero and ended up doing my route on a pleasantly warm and sunny late afternoon with no wind. As I did my laps around the neighbourhoods drinking in the rare sunshine I had to keep reminding myself “I’m getting paid for this!”

The next flier runs start on Tuesday and job hunting is pretty much pointless on weekends, so I’m taking tomorrow off and going on another road trip with Jody. We may even leave the solar system…
