My on-line sock group, Whenever, has a boxxle (aka bottle) swap that they do a few times a year. Well my first swap package for ‘07 was picked up at the post office today. (Since it’s been nearly a week since we last checked the mail, not sure just when the box arrived during that time.) I opened the PO Box to find a locker key, and when I opened the locker Mary Aman (my loverly {loverly being lovely and loving} partner) had a box there waiting for me. Not quite sure how I managed it, but I managed to wait until after errands were done and I was back home before opening the box!
I know this isn’t a great picture, but stop the complaining it’s in focus and I am on muscle relaxers after-all. Here’s the list of booty that the Most Marvelous Mary included: a hank of 4 oz/510 yards of “Lisa Souza” sock yarn, in Delft; two 50 gram balls of DK weight Plymouth Encore Colorspun, color #7303, (in the picture it’s in the little plastic “Chinese ’take-out” container); a pad of knitting related post-it styled notes; 4 of the cutest little handmade stitch markers, (Mary did you make these?); a little journal; a wonderful little tin candle, “Creme Brulee” scented; some adorable little flower soaps, I just love these; a box of All Purpose Cards, something I needed! thanks; a small bottle of grape, yup grape, hand sanitizer…heheheh, I gotta hide this from the dh!; a small plastic Chinese “take-out” styled container, I absolutely love love love this, and will find a special use for this one; a project bag, just the right size for socks and to grab and go and hang off of my wrist, Mary it looks like you made this and did a most excellant job! I am spoiled; and not pictured (because it’s opened and in the process of being devoured as I type…..hehehehehehe) was a bag of “Jan Trail MixSweet & Nutty Trail Mix”. Many Many Many thanks Mary Aman for the booty in my boxxle! You did me most wonderfully great!!!
I called my doctor this morning. He nolonger has a walk-in clinic. So I scheduled an appointment for tomorrow afternoon at 1pm. I went ahead and told the appointment clerk that it wasn’t just about my back, but that I was ultimately willing to have the reduction surgery, so was also wanting the referral to neurologist to verify that it (reduction surgery) was medically needed for my back. We have to “jump” these “hoops” in order for state medical to cover the reduction surgery. Anyway, the biggest “hoop” was my becoming willing and I am now sooooooooooooooooo willing!
