I have an awesome boyfriend!
Why am I writing about him today? He rocks.
I have a habit of not checking my mail, something to do with usually receiving bad news etc, like, I have direct debit for everything, and ebills so that I don’t have to worry about anything and it all just comes out of my account. So he knows how bad I am with it, so he started nagging me about checking my mail. I checked it last week, nothing there, and I checked it this week, nothing there.. but that wasn’t the case.
I managed to get it out of him that there was a package being sent to me. How exciting! I rushed home from my parents to re-check the mailbox. When I checked on Friday night, there were spider webs everywhere so I squealed like a girl and didn’t check further. So last night, I got out the torch and there it was, stuck to the metal. I have a leak in my mailbox it seems. After indepth questioning, I guessed at least one of the items was a tin opener, Some books and a piece of glass. I was excited. I rushed down to the post office today and collected the package, rushed home.
I opened the box, and sure enough, there were books, a tin opener and a box with glass in it. I wondered what it was, he did say it wasn’t a cat figurine, and that it could be used as a paperweight if I wanted. So I opened it up - and there it was. A 3D portrait of him lasered into the glass. I am ashamed to admit it, but I cried and hugged it close. He felt so far away, but he’d sent me this awesome gift - he doesn’t like photo’s so it’s amazing that now I have a permanent memento of him etched in glass to me. And then I nearly dropped it onto the glass table and cracked it. Just a corner, so then I started laughing. I’m such an idiot.
When he got home tonight I was so grateful I think he was embarrassed, and then I confessed to him what I’d done.
“so I transported safely home, packed it, sent it across the seas and continents, it arrives safely in Australia, and then within 5 minutes of it being opened, it’s cracked?”
“yep”
“I see”
I can see he will be getting mileage out of this slight defect now, and that it was caused by me :>
But he’s an awesome boyfriend!
