Fanmail from Some Flounder

madrobinsIn addition to my presents from my family (a high-tech turkey baster and a book from YG; a granite and etched glass bud vase from SG, several high-end baking pans from Spouse, who knows my passion for cookery stuff, and a beautiful flannel night-gown from my mother in law, who knows that I prize cozy over chic) the Universe thought fit to hand me a couple of cookies today. They are small cookies, but nice ones nonetheless.
1) My niece got into law school--University of Michigan--early admission. That's not my cookie, but it's good news.
2) The kids' cards that we're doing as a school fundraiser, and that I didn't expect to see until just before Christmas break, have shipped from the printer, thereby making me (as the organizer of the project) look good.
3) When I called our health insurance company to ask why the pediatrician was billing us $80 for services which I thought were covered, seeing as how said pediatrician is part of their in-network provider group, the nice man on the other end said "Damn, we paid them the wrong way! I'll fix that right away for you, ma'am." And did!
4) The roofer in Massachusetts who is supposed to be checking out a leak in my father's roof, actually called me back. Granted, he called me back to say that there was snow the other day and he hasn't gotten up on the roof to check things out, but...trying to do this stuff at a 3000 mile remove is tough; it's nice when vendors return your calls.
It's a good start to a personal new year, anyway.
