So I got the latest CoViD tests delivered today. Carefully opened the HUGE bubblewrap

envelope, in case I ever mail something requiring it. As I was carefully peeling off the mailing label, it occurred to me that I could use it as a handy little lint roller on my velveteen couch throw. I do the same with any sticky label. Not a big deal, obviously, but they might as well be useful before being discarded.
