What a wonderful day! It started out this morning while I was drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper. The doorbell rang and I received a surprise delivery - a beautiful bouquet of pink and white flowers from my grandmother. I love flowers, but I always feel guilty buying them for myself so I rarely do.
Then after lunch I received another special package - a box chock full of homemade cookies! These were sent by a family friend who is famous for her cookies, though she normally makes them for Christmas. I had made a special request for "comfort food" so that I could pig out when I'm homebound recovering from surgery. I wasn't sure she would have the time to do it. It must have taken her hours and hours to bake all of these but she came through. Lana - you are the BEST! Snickerdoodles, snowballs and fudge...I feel better already. In fact, maybe by the time I'm finished with them, I'll have enough of a tummy to make two new breasts (just in case the implants don't work out).
Finally, the piece-de-resistance of my day (as if these two lovely surprises weren't enough) was that I had a Swedish massage! My grandmother had given me a gift certificate good for two massages a while ago, and I decided that redeeming one of them before I have my surgery would be a great idea. And boy, was I right. There's nothing like going to a nice spa and having someone rub and knead your muscles with wonderful smelling oil for 45 minutes. Pure heaven. If you've never had a professional massage before, you absolutely must. Thank you so much Grandmary!
And Polly you certainly deserve it! See you soon. Love, Susan
