I came home from work today to find a very big box waiting for me.
The lovely Ann had told me to expect something in time for my dentist appointment on tuesday, but there is no way I could have expected what I would find in the box.
In addition to a 6-pack of the hard-to-find Augustiner that Ann has spoiled me with before, there was a cute kitty-kat card, an angel to watch over me in my post-novicaine state, a lovely X-mas jazz CD in a cute little snowman bag, An herbal therapy comfort pillow (freeze it for cold/nuke it for heat...genius!), a stress-reducing eye pillow and a tin of peach tea.

...And so much love and generosity that I could barely wipe my eyes in between gasping "oh my god!" as I kept pulling suprises from the box. Each package was wrapped and there were little notes instructing me as to the order to open them. God it was fun! And these things are going to come in so very handy. Comfort is an amazing gift.

Ann, I can't even begin to thank you enough for your thoughtfulness. Now I'm going to go cry again.
