Today I received the coolest, most thoughtful gift. Twice.
My day started out when a friend traveled from far far away, and dropped by to bring me a package on behalf of @anyia, whom they had just visited.
It was a beautiful *handmade* puzzle box, with three interesting locks built into it, and a *four-page* letter of appreciation—the amount of effort they put into making me feel special is extraordinary 🥰

Then, a couple hours later, a package arrived from my girlfriend. Inside were two lever locks. One from the 1830s, and one from the 1920s that is stamped with "Mastodon" 🥰 The 4-lever lock is now the oldest I'm my collection, and the Mastodon lock is the first 8-lever lock in my collection.

And finally, a couple hours after the package arrived from my girlfriend, I got to meet a new friend from Mastodon in person for the first time—which was its own present 🥰

So today I got to add five unique new locks, several good memories, and a new friend to my collections.
It was a good frickin' day 💝
