I spent most of the night awake and restless but when I did sleep I woke up to all your wonderful and kind words. I read the messages over and over because it had meant so much to me. Thank you for your hugs and support!

While I was in and out of sleep I decided to return the extra set of poker chips I bought because they were so heavy and I knew before going into the post office that the shipping would be an extravagant gift in itself as the poker set weighed a TON, it came in a metal-type suitcase with authentic chips in look and weight. But between the $10 return and the $9 I earned from cashing in the recycled cans I felt I saved $19 on the shipping which I felt made up for the buku cost of the priority shipping that I just had to have. The anticipated date of the package is December 31st, hopefully coming sooner and certainly hoping not later! Oh, I hope I hope he loves them!
