1. an unexpected gift of real New Orleans coffee, wrapped beautifully as always by my friend S in a kitchen tea towel and ribbon, which also serves to secure the ice pack to my foot;
2. a Gryffyndor scarf and chocolate frog from Harry Potter World;
3. hand-delivered by my one and only blood nephew, whom I had not seen since early December.
Even my swollen toes were well pleased, although you can't tell from their sad bruising.
