Today was a bad day. Last month I got dumped by my very long term boyfriend, and today I found out (from my sister) that he is dating someone else. Painful even though I have realized the relationship was no longer good for me. On top of that, I have finals for school and am bogged down by the workload. So it was with great joy that I walked to the post office after work to pick up the gift my dear Santa had told me should be there.

The package was literally bursting, and I could see tantalizing glimpses of blue cloth through the holes. Cloth that looked like it might match the blue highlights I have in my hair. The cloth turned out to be a gorgeous scarf, that does indeed match my highlights :D And was the exact style of scarf I had been thinking of getting recently! But that wasn't all that was in there! Nope! There was more!

The next thing I noticed was a stack of comics! I love, love, love comics, and participated in that exchange as well! My wonderful, wonderful Santa gave me all of Grendal Behold the Devil (8 volumes!). I am forcing myself NOT to read them, since I have homework due. But I really want to. Grendal is a character that intrigues me!

But the comics are not the end. Nope, my dear Santa gave me the exact thing needed by a emotionally upset college student: Chocolate. Delicious Godiva Truffles, that I just might eat in one sitting... I've done it before!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU OpinionatedSouthern, for making my day better. Your package came at the perfect time to remind me how wonderful some people are. And I am so very excited for the final "creative" thing that she told me is coming from someone/where else :D

Update: OMG. So. Finally got my creative bit. So amazing. Just. Woah. :D Today I go and check my PO box, first time since Monday, and what do I find? A box. A very decent sized box. I open it right in the post office. AND FIND THE DOCTOR. A wonderful, beautiful, splendid crocheted 11th Doctor. At least 2.5 feet long doctor.

Once more, thank you, thank you, THANK you dear reddit santa! :D This has to have been one of the best exchanges I have ever had, and I have had some good ones, at just the time when I needed it. THANK YOU.
