Today was a very long and stressful day, the whole epic day has just been a series of chores/duties/tasks that were uninteresting and tedious and a little gross, to be honest. I dragged myself home around 10am. I ate a salad and rested my aching feet. "What a horrible day," I mused to myself as I shuffled to the back door, let my dogs in... shuffle-shuffled to the front alcove to turn on the porch light before feebly flopping into bed to start everything over again in 7 hours. BUT WAIT. Whyyy- what is this inconspicuous brown package sitting so nonchalantly on the dining table!? My spouse had checked the mail and set my GIFT EXCHANGE parcel on the table! The day is taking an upswing in this, it's almost literal eleventh hour! I open it (more like haphazardly rip to pieces) to discover it's STAR WARS- hooray!!! The graphic novel trilogy is not something I've ever seen before- I so look forward to curling up with it on a stormy afternoon. I can't wait till one day I have kids and they can bring it to school and use it during mandatory reading time because "Miss teacher, it IS a book!" And the vintage style sign is awesome. So awesome. All of it is great. So great. Just what I needed today. Thank you gift exchange friend. You're lovely.
