last night at approximately 8pm, my intercom buzzed. as you know, i don’t get a lot of unexpected visitors, so i was appropriately shocked that someone was at my door. my first thought was “it better not be that kid selling chocolate-covered almonds again.” my second thought was “maybe it’s jason come to fetch his damn chessboard.” my third thought vaguely involved census-takers, meghan and beer.
i answered the buzzer with a trepidacious “hello?” and was delighted to hear a gruff “have a package for you” in reply. yay! a package! i buzzed him right in and accepted a very large, by my standards, box from the short, ginger-haired fellow. i thanked him and quickly shut the door and set about opening it. it was just the hundred-dollars worth of books i’d ordered for my mom’s mother’s day present, but still… i love getting packages.
as i wrapped up the books in purple cellophane, i couldn’t help but think of how absolutely stunned my mom will be when she opens it and sees what i got her. of course, i hear today that she needs to replace her oil tank for the heating oil, so i’m kind of kicking myself that i couldn’t just give her the money towards that. maybe i’ll fish some out of my savings account to help her out.
