1.  I love the little green market right around the corner.  Rather nifty that when I neglect to brush off the 2 feet of drifted snow from my patio plants until 6:25 to discover that my thyme and rosemary died this winter (and are therefore unable to provide me with fresh herbs for the marinade that I’m making at 6:30  for tomorrow’s meal) that I can just run and buy them around the corner with no hassle, no fuss.  There are some nice things about living in NY.

2.  I’m going to say it again – Freedom Pharmacy ROCKS.  My prescription did not arrive on time due to the storm conditions on Friday.  Normally, no big deal, but I cut it kind of close and, you know, the weekend.  So I called, and instead of giving me the tracking number and saying “good luck with that”, the woman I got hold of called FedEx herself.  When she’d been on hold for a few minutes, she offered to call me back when she learned anything.  She called back 15 minutes later to say that she was still on hold and that they were just going to overnight a new package to me, to make sure that it arrived before I ran out.  Both packages arrived yesterday, and when I called (because I realized there was no receipt in the overnighted package, which means they didn’t charge me yet for it) to give them a credit card number for the copay, I complimented the rep. on their customer service, and she was appreciative because apparently, the pharmacy has been without electricity since Thursday.  They’re running their computers off a generator but basically operating in the dark and cold, dealing with panicky IF patients who haven’t received their orders.  And under those conditions I got such fantastic customer service?  Seriously, these people ARE THE BEST.

3.  I finished my knitting pattern last night – and seriously, people, for someone with no computer training, I did GOOD on this one – and started the baby blanket to end all baby blankets.  It might not turn out as nicely as I’m imagining it, but it won’t be for want of a decent pattern.  Very proud of myself.

4.  Ah heartburn!  I’m not feeling anywhere near as yucky in the afternoons (though that didn’t stop me from taking a preemptive nap yesterday) but the heartburn, she sneaks up on me at odd hours of the day.  Nasty, though totally treatable with Tums, but oh-so-reassuring!

5.  Had a good writing day (ok, a good writing 2-3 hours) yesterday.  Figured out where, exactly, my revelations from last week are going to fit into the existing manuscript and (sort of) started piecing the ending together to incorporate the new bits.  It’s coming together.  In slow-like-brontosauruses-mating-motion, but still.  Coming together.
