JIM...meals most every night. Learning new dishes to prepare. I know you aren't exactly enjoying it, but I really do appreciate it. And, I have to admit, I kind of like having a Sous Chef. Maybe this weekend we can add a new dish or two to your repertoire? And thanks too for the runs to Martusciello's Bakery for their delicious bread to go with Mom's soups (see below). And for the little shopping trip to Sam's and Michael's last week. I know how much you love to shop. And for calling me during the day to say hi and see how I'm doing. And for working all evening on the new router and printer hook-up so I wouldn't keep losing my internet and email connection (a major past time). I couldn't get by without you.
MOM...a whole box full of soups. Chicken soup (no chicken) with escarole and little meat balls. Lentil. I get to have a bowl of delicious hot soup a few times a week. This has been great since I also have a cold and nothing tastes better than soup when you have the sniffles. And for the phone calls to check on me. And thanks in advance for our trip to Hobby Lobby tomorrow. Oh boy, I'm being busted out for a few hours!
COREY...for this delicious meal you and Nini prepared for me on a Friday night. It was yummy. And there were leftovers for me to enjoy another night! I also got to enjoy a few hours of your company too. Thanks!
MEGHAN...for a ride to my post-op appointment, on rather short notice. And for coming over on Saturday to hang out with me, play Scrabble and let me win. And for calling to check on me frequently.
SHANNON...for the very nice card you sent me. And for the phone calls. I know you've had a lot going on yourself.
DICK, MOM, MEGHAN AND ANDY...for the visit after your very filling meal at the Crab Shack (for Andy's birthday). It's nice to have visitors, since I'm holed up alone all day.
SUE...for the phone calls to break the boredom of my day and keeping me posted on the usual office shenanigans. I get to talk to a real person and you get to vent!
MARY...for the card and the pretty pajamas. Something nice to wear without getting dressed in street clothes.
And to everyone else who sent me well wishes on Facebook and by email.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I appreciate it all.
