This weekend I was head-down, nose-to-the-grindstone, utterly buried with work. The sun was out, the weather was the nicest it's been for months, and I was in a miserable dark cave of Adulting.

And then...

Along came my Santa!

(by way of the US postal service. Santa had to set this up well in advance!)

I heard a diesel engine, a knock on the door, and I sprinted away from my looming deadlines so fast the dangling Sword of Damocles didn't have time to fall.

To preface this, in my preferences, I had mentioned loving several types of Sci Fi, and those very much included Star Wars (original trilogy especially) and Star Trek (TNG or original series). But I live in a small place without room to, well, collect collectables. So usable items would make me really happy. I also may have mentioned I like slowly gathering costume peices for cosplay/halloween opportunities, and had much of a Star Trek uniform already, and bonus points would be awarded for something that could be included in cosplay.

Hey Santa - you knocked it out of the park on the usable items and earned your bonus points :D

The rest of the story is in pictures, please enjoy :)
