kiya: (everything new)

This has been a kind of emotionally brutal week in a lot of ways, for more than a couple of reasons. Today was not trending towards improvement, unfortunately.

But.

I checked the shipping info on a book order I'd made using some gift cards I picked up recently, and it was marked 'out for delivery'. It was late enough in the afternoon that I went and checked the stoop. No books.

But then ... wait, wasn't that routed through the local post office?

I hiked up the driveway to the mailbox. And there, perched precariously on the rounded top, was a cardboard box. And I have taken my prize back down, and sorted the rest of the mail (which included a form letter from Rep. Niki Tsongas saying 'Thank you for asking me not to be an asshole; here is how I have implemented non-assholery' in response to a form letter I sent her) and cracked open my new box.

Hooray for new books.

Anubis, Upwawet, and Other Deities: Personal worship and official religion in ancient Egypt from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is one.

A Jan Assmann book I didn't have (The Search for God in Ancient Egypt), another.

And two books by Orion Foxwood.

Hooray. Now if only my back would unseize.
