The package was in the mail without any tracking number and apparently from the United States, as such I was mightily surprised that it arrived within less than a month (admittedly, I was a bit wary when I saw that my santa shipped with USPS because they had lost one package for an exchange already). I was lucky for having been stuck at home with a broken key (the issue has resolved itself by now, so yay) as I could receive it immediately without taking about an hour to walk to the post office. Or spending 11 EUR for a cab ride there (yay, silver linings ;) ).

I think I have to explain to my neighbors now why I squee-ed for joy. I have written that my favorite character is Lakitu and the first thing in the package was a plush Lakitu. A really cute one with a Spiny to throw. I was also sent a book, of which I have heard good things, but which I so far have not been able to read: "The structure of scientific revolutions"! That is iirc the book where the term paradigm shift originated.

Last but not least, there was a card with a socially awkward Santaguin. My SS should not have worried about me having things already, while I do have a Lakitu, they have gotten along well with each other. And one of them will become my mascot at work. You can never have too many Lakitu :)
