The Postal Service...

...is more than just good listenin' for shloopy love-worn tracks!

Things Tycho & I have received in the mail in the last week:

1. Halloween package from mom (containing candies, bats, and a Walrus!) (magazine, not animal)
2. Halloween card from Jen's parents, Mary & John! (containing picture of Tycho as I've never seen him before!)
3. Card from my grandma ... which I am saving for the right time to open!
3. Package from my old friend/high school teacher Gwen (containing a book & lovely/loving letter!)
4. Package from my dad (containing something gift-wrapped which I will resist opening until the 14th!)
5. Bust magazine! (containing delicious reads)

The packages from Gwen & my dad arrived coincidentally at the same time, delivered personally to my door by a FedEx dude and an XpressPost dude respectively. I wanted them to duke it out at my door so that I could officiate and then congratulate the winner ("you are the last post!") but they were far too gentlemanly.

And soon something else is going to come through my door... and that something else iiiis... JEN'N'MARK! this means a special trip to the SAQ/grocery store tonight to stock up on goodies, pumpkin-based and otherwise. This also means we will finally crack open the giant Kahlua bucket that Jen's mom gave me when I moved! Feeling extra good right now because I've been working extra much over the past few days to clear the slate for the weekend. I'm not quite where I should be yet (due to getting inexplicably sucked into the underground mall yesterday - some days I am just not strong enough to withstand its pull!) but I'm close to being on top of things. I've still got some viable work hours left before their arrival so I'd better get to it... by the time they get here I will be ready for a good looooong break!

that is all for now!
