Happy Birthday to Me

ryanreacts I opened so many presents, I might not even be able to remember them all.
I just opened Frankie's box, so I'll start there. She sent me . . .
* two small Wicked tumblers with glass straws (one Elphaba, one Glinda) (obviously) which I will wash ASAP after arriving at work tomorrow!
* another great Wicked gift: THE GRIMMERIE JOURNAL
* one Luke's mug that I told her I don't love because the Luke's logo does not say "Gilmore girls"
* a very gay reusable shopping bag
* and a Kavu bag that she showed me months ago - it has a black background with a pattern of colorful popsicles
Lori sent me . . .
* one adorable blind box frog (I got the green one, who is very cute, but kind of had a feeling I would get the pink & yellow one, who I now want)
* a journal with Hekate on the cover!
* twenty Mixies Minis who were mailed to me in an adorable REVERSIBLE box
* and that new amazing Kuromi doll, who is no less amazing because I knew she was coming (but if she hadn't been a gift, I would have ordered her from myself within a few days of whenever I knew that Lori was going to order her for me --- that's how amazing she is, okay? I seriously love her)
And then, of course I bought myself many several birthday presents (the most exciting one being, obviously, an eBay box containing almost every Animorphs book!), but the things I actually opened on my actual birthday were . . .
* X-Men '97 JUBILEE action figure (oh my fucking gosh)
* X-Men '97 Stretchy BEAST (still glad I got him, but unfortunately he does have that stretchy plastic smell)
* Mighty Ducks Mallory action figure (have wanted since childhood)
* this gnome advent calendar (no notes, perfect purchase)
* X-Men '97 JUBILEE Funko Pop
* three separate packs of tiny trolls
* and one The Loyal Subjects MMPR Trini figure for Kuromi (who, as it turns out, can only just barely even hold her, and then could easily drop her at any moment)
I think that's everything!
Thrilled to have all of this cool new Stuff in my room, but what I really really really want right now is a goddamn fucking DAY OFF. Which I will actually finally get after tomorrow. Day ten of ten (originally scheduled as day ten of eleven until we hired a new dishwasher and everything changed), and then I am off until Wednesday, October 8th, at 6:00 PM.
That is currently one of the most beautiful sentences I have ever written.
