Biking back and forth all day like the world's most useless chauffeur. Won't be so bad much longer. Henry had his bicycle license test today and he passed with flying colors. Now we just have to wait until his 10th birthday and he's on his own in traffic. (i try not to think too hard about that)
Stayed up super stupid late doing Frieda inventory... I have to send screen shots of comparable items to every single item listed on the customs form. They went through everything and told me what was in the box. If I send a screenshot of something that costs too much I have to pay customs. If it is not similar enough they dispute it. I am annoyed. One of the delights is that a used candle somehow accidentally ended up in the shipment. It's not even a nice candle, just a random one that got grabbed by mistake. How do you assess the value (and then have to pay 25%import fee) of something that is completely valueless that you can't even BUY online if you want to, and then if you do it's some specific "antique" priceless thing. in terms of the candle, i almost sent a screenshot of a brandnew amazon candle of the middle finger, that was 26 dollars, but everyone agreed that, although hilarious, the joke was not worth $6.50 in customs taxes, plus an annoyed customs officer. Everyone helped, Brian, Mary, Edward, Centa, everyone was sending screenshots of things they found. There are over 100 things in the stupid box.
