Days of Grace 3-11-10

1.  Day off work.  Let me rephrase that:  DAY OFF WORK!!! Since I’ve only worked a total of one day this week, I’m not entirely sure where the soul-flood of relief is based, but I’m just really glad to not be at work today.
2.  I still love my gallon jug that once held apple juice [...]

Days of Grace 3-10-10

1.  It’s getting easier to eat healthily because anything with oil in it?  Blech.  So, small blessing, but I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m not craving, say, potato chips or french fries.  (blech)
2.  The doctor yesterday was very kind, very capable.  Again, I feel as if I have been exceedingly blessed by finding [...]

Days of Grace 3-9-10

1.  Remember me mentioning how nice the doctors seem to be here in NYC?  Well, last night, at around 6pm, my brand new endocrinologist – the guy I only met a couple of days ago – called up to see how the CVS went, and to make sure I hadn’t had any problems.  ”I was [...]

Days of Grace 3-6-10

1.  I don’t have pink-eye.  Had a couple of hours yesterday morning when I thought I might, since I work with nasty little kids & when I woke up my eye was irritated & red.  But it’s gone now, so I’m thinking “pinkeye free”.  Whew.
2.  Velveteen.  Specifically, my brown velveteen shirt.  Soft!  Warm!  Lovely comforting [...]

Days of Grace 3-5-10

1.  Only one more day before our LOTR-thon!  For the non-geek set, this means the Boy & I & a couple of dear fellow geeks are going to sit down in front of the tv with rabbit stew, bread, mushrooms, & other good hobbity things to eat, and watch all three Lord Of the Rings [...]

Days of Grace 3-4-10

1.  It was nice being at the Realm of Pain for less than a full day.  Also, my April schedule is much improved, though since I suspect the Assistant Manager will be promoted away from the branch this month, I also suspect my new, groovy, Sane Branch schedule is worth much less than the paper [...]

Days of Grace 3-3-10

1.  I got a refund check from the lab that’s been screwing up my insurance for the last 8 months.  Now, granted, I feel like they owe me this money for the grief they’ve caused me, but I don’t think I actually overpaid them, since I haven’t actually sent them any money since this whole [...]

Days of Grace 3-2-10

1.  According to my ticker, I have fewer than 200 days left to go – 199, to be exact (which of course, it likely won’t be.)  Big milestone, if completely arbitrary!
2.  Tomorrow was my due date for the pregnancy I really thought would work out.  Not particularly grateful that my brain refuses to let me [...]

Days of Grace 3-1-10

1.  I love getting to skip to a new month when yesterday was only the 28th.  Juvenile, I know.  I prefer to think of myself as “young at heart, if not young in the ovaries…”
2.  I spent much of yesterday in the company of two of the dearest women I’ve ever known.  One of whom [...]

Days of Grace 2-28-10

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 [...]
