Good stuff

sereneI've been mostly posting about the bad stuff this week, but here's some good stuff:
1) Still no sign of cancer! Huzzah! (They will continue to monitor me pretty frequently until I get blood levels of thyroid hormone that they like, but I don't have to be radioactive again unless the blood and/or ultrasound tests show something they feel worried about.)
2) I know this might sound like a bad thing, but they just charged my student account for a bunch of tuition money. This means I'm really going to college! I'm so thrilled!
3) James and I talk a lot about stuff I don't post about much, but that is WAY more exciting than it sounds, like this amazing thing: We turn a knob and cold, fresh, clean, safe water pours out. As much as we want! For practically free! We do not take this for granted, at least not all the time, and the fact that we don't is, I think, a key part of the reason we're so amazingly happy. And it's funny; if I posted about the readiness of food, water, and shelter -- if I posted about that all day long, people would think I was crazy. Nonetheless, it's a huge thing, and way more important than the fact, say, that I'm going to college. You know?
4) I love the kid a lot, but this break from her (she left nine days ago and comes back day after tomorrow) has been really nice. She's a good kid, and we love each other, but it's been a nice break. And that's all I'm gonna say about that in public.
And now you know it's your turn, right? What's your good stuff today?

Maybe you'll buy school supplies on sale! You'll see all the students at your work and remember that you're one too!

Date: 2011-08-18 11:14 pm (UTC)As does the fact that I GREW A RADISH IN MY GARDEN AND I ATE IT AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!1!!!1!!
And that my house has more than enough beds/chairs/space for the people who live here.
And that there is pretty much no noise during the hours when I would like to be asleep.
And and and many other things. Including that my friend Serene has no signs of cancer.

Date: 2011-08-19 12:07 am (UTC)(1) I got everything done for my two bosses who are now gone until August 29.
(2) The appellate brief that is due next Wednesday? The responsible boss (who is one of the two mentioned in (1) above) dropped it on my desk with directions to finalize and file it however and whenever I wanted (by Wednesday, of course). I can do it conventionally (paper copies) or set up electronic filing for him which we haven't done yet.
(3) Tonight is gaming and I will KILL ALL THE THINGS. Or solve puzzles if that's what the GM has for us tonight.

Date: 2011-08-19 06:38 pm (UTC)The cat did not actually eat my metformin (diabetes med that makes body use insulin better) yesterday. She just licked it a few times, and seems to be perfectly fine.
The landlord came by on Wednesday, which means I did not have to clean anymore yesterday or today!
Because of not needing to clean, I spent most of the time I was awake yesterday lying on the air mattress on the balcony reading. And it was sunny, AND there was a magnificent thunderstorm!
Because of the cleaning for the landlord, the public areas of the apt are cleaner than they have been since it was ours.
Because of the clean public areas, we're having people over Sunday!
