1.  I love getting to skip to a new month when yesterday was only the 28th.  Juvenile, I know.  I prefer to think of myself as “young at heart, if not young in the ovaries…”

2.  I spent much of yesterday in the company of two of the dearest women I’ve ever known.  One of whom I’d never “met” before yesterday.  Taking an afternoon to hang out with Mekate & Mo was one of the best things I’ve done in ages.  Thank you, ladies, for one of the nicest Sundays I can remember.  Can’t wait to see you again.

3.  I get to work at the Sane Branch today.  ’nuff said.

4.  My last Lovenox injection until after the CVS was last night.  Won’t miss that bit of my nightly routine for the next week or two.   In fact, I’m hoping to have a bruise-free belly to start up with again, after the genetic testing procedure is over and I’m cleared to have thin blood again.

5.  We didn’t die from carbon-monoxide poisoning last night OR burn to death in our bed.  Underground electrical fire in the ditch outside our basement bedroom caused exploding light bulbs, and a stink of electricity gone awry, which caused a neighbor to call 911.  Which caused 5 hook & ladder trucks, 3 ambulances, and an assortment of police cars to show up at 5:30am, sirens a’blaring.  The cowardly whippet may never recover, but hey!  Firemen!  Firemen everywhere! 

Oh, yawn….
