Perfect, or something like it
Pretty nearly perfect day today.
* Pain levels are low
* My mom's going to be getting a knee or two replaced, which may end her horrible pain, which keeps her up nights
* Two-year cancer checkup, at which the doc says there's not only no sign of cancer, but 99% of thyroid cancer recurrences happen in the first two years, so there's a 1% chance I'll have to deal with this cancer again some time in my life, beyond monitoring, and basically, I have, in his words, "licked the cancer".
* Lovely walk in the rain with someone who just got paid. Ambled through the neighborhood to several great places, spending a little bit at a time of his money as we went:
- our newly opened neighborhood cheese shop, where we got grilled cheese and tomato soup and sweet iced tea
- Peet's, to get coffee (they don't sell coffee (yet?) at the Sacred Wheel)
- Creative Reuse, where we got a couple books, some mint tins to use as dice boxes, and some art supplies for the kid
- Clausen House, where we didn't buy anything, but we did drool over some number of things
- Tara's, where I had a lovely little scoop of raspberry sorbet, even though![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
james_huber thinks it's too cold for ice cream
- Casper's, where we had a second-lunch snackish thing while exclaiming over what a perfect day we were having
Forget the fact that the IRS has written to tell me I have two weeks to give them $929. Forget that completely, because today is a GOOD day, and I'll deal with that tomorrow.

Most of the people I know on Dreamwidth crosspost to LJ, and I have become lamentably remiss in reading my Dreamwidth circle, but I am so glad I caught this.
Also, I hope you get to do the English curriculum that's like one of my novels. 8-)
