Canada Post Ultra Fail

This week has been a rough one for me.  I had quite a scare at the beginning of it and have spent the rest of the week trying to recover from it AND the flu.  One of the brighter moments of my week was the arrival of mail from overseas....for ME!! Have I mentioned before that I REALLY like to receive old-fashioned letters of the hand-written variety?  Well, I do.  Very much. I get excited about any kind of personal mail for that matter.  And this mail wasn't just ANY mail....it was REGISTERED mail.

Unfortunately, the envelope arrived in one of these.........

It's a plastic envelope which reads like this:

When I removed the plastic, I found this:

A very ripped envelope that someone tried to patch up with tape.   The customs sticker says that the envelope contains a calendar.  This is what I found:

It was what appeared to be a dog-eared, water-damaged cardboard backing of a calendar....that is all.
