For starters, I apologize to my Secret Santa for not posting this already. I found out on Tuesday that my grandmother's cancer is now terminal/stage IV. She has always been like a mother to me, so things are really rough right now with this most likely being her last Christmas. My birthday is also tomorrow, and while I don't really look forward to it, my apathy was heightened this year due to the circumstances.

The same day that I received that bit of bad news, I received my gift. I sat it aside and opened it the next day (because I'll admit that I spent Tuesday evening in bed crying). My Secret Santa is awesome. I had almost purchased that same cookbook (The Geeky Chef Cook Book by Cassandra Reader) for myself in the past, so I'm very excited to try out several of the recipes. The Legend of Zelda notebook is also very nice and as I'm a doodler, will get a lot of use (added bonus: it matches the case I have for my Nintendo 3DS XL - Hyrule Gold edition). ;) Thank you so much, Secret Santa!
