Anyone want to come and join me in my stressful morning

I’m bridesmaid for my best friend this weekend (wedding is in another country). Bridesmaid dresses were all ordered and sorted but needed some minor alterations that a seamstress was doing last week until she had a problem at her property (totally out of her control) and the dress is ruined. Ordered a new dress last Friday, paid for express delivery except the company accidentally put the wrong shipping label on (standard shipping instead of express) and the parcel then got delayed at the sorting hub so only arrived in my area early hours of this morning.

I’ve raced up to the delivery office this morning who said they have the parcel and it’s out for delivery but not due to be delivered until this afternoon (I need to leave for the airport at 2pm). They suggested driving around and just finding the postman and asking him for the parcel so I drove around the estate they said he was and I can’t find a Royal Mail van anywhere!

Now I’m debating between going home and waiting it out and hoping for the best or keeping searching estates and hope he doesn’t try and deliver at my house whilst I’m out searching. It also feels a bit weird to be accosting a postman in the street!

At this point I think I need a bottle of wine to calm down 🤯

Someone please tell me that I’m in fact not cursed and the world isn’t conspiring against me 😩
