Oh, happy day!

It has been a good day so far.

First off, a little kerfuffle of several month's standing with the Social Security Administration seems to be working itself out in a favorable manner. I won't know for sure for a few more days, but all signs point to a positive outcome. At any rate, I discovered this morning that they had deposited some extra money in my bank account several days ago.

Second, I began writing the missing character into the story and that seems to be going well. I'm not done with that section, but I think it will work smoothly and not read like it was pasted in after the fact. If it does, it becomes one of those things to "fix in the cutting room."

Third, the body shop called to say we can pick up the car late this afternoon. That is excellent news. It gives me time to have my lunch, let it settle and get the treadmill in before we go get the car. And with luck, I will be back home in time to make my daily telephone call to my mother at 4:30.  

The sun is shining, the temperature will stay well above zero [Fahrenheit], the cats are snoozing in their respective chairs and it is a happy day.

And as always, thanks for your support!
