The Arrival

They have arrived! I am in possession of the package of books. 
I was actually in possession of them yesterday, but I waited till today to tell you all about it to add some suspense to the whole situation.
It was rather an interesting task, receiving such package. I looked online on Monday and the Indigo website directed me to the Canada Post website. That's when I started to lose faith a little. If you know anything about the Canadian system, then you will know how bad the postal service has become in the last few years.
So, I was worried. 
To add to it all, the package was too big to fit in the mailbox so I had to get a slip in the mail that directed me to the nearest pick up station which just so happens to be your friendly neighbourhood Shoppers.
I arrived at Shoppers around 4:40 in the afternoon yesterday without the slip but with the barcode on my phone instead. I was hoping this arrangement would be good enough to obtain my package but I wasn't confident.
About 5 minutes later I was walking out of Shoppers with my parcel and a joyful smile upon my face. That was one wonderful afternoon!
My favourite book within the collection of fictional tales that I purchased is a book of fairy tales by The Grimm Brothers. It is such a beautifully created storybook! I am very excited to have it in my possession. You would also find it quite spectacular, Nicole.

Thrice in one, this is t-bear signing off
