Good Things

leahbobetI have Good Things today. So I am going to catalogue them, in an effort to fill the pot for the next time someone needs to be told Good Things (It's like leave a penny, take a penny, see?):
1) The lettuce seeds I planted a mere two days ago are already sprouting merrily. There's a pea sprouting too, but it's just getting started. I may take pictures.
2) I had a mango, an avocado, and a handful of giant mutant strawberries for lunch today and the Nice Pasta (garlic, tomatoes, oyster mushrooms, bit of white wine, cream sauce) for dinner just now. Both were fully satisfactory foods.
3) I have my first two loaves of Shoggoth Bread in the oven. This is the culmination of a two-day affair, with the making Lucinda ready for the baking and eating and several instances of "now let it rise one hour". It is still very soothing to knead things.
Tangential to that, if anyone would like to give a shoggoth a loving home, I actually have a Child of Lucinda separated in a container right now. If not, I'll make pretzels with it, but speak up if you want it.
4) My toenails are blue.
5) Despite TTC shenanigans yesterday, a good 2/3 of the Federation of Girly Drink Drinkers managed to meet for snacky things and improbable martinis. The last improbable martini had Baileys and coffee liqueur in it. After three of them and a good solid few hours with my friends, things were good once again.
6) My slush and support mail are both caught up.
7) I have books to read again (Little Brother and A Song of Stone on the pile, Silk half-finished already) and am no longer in a sad and disreputable state of booklessness.
8) I have apparently won a month's free gym membership up the street, due to filling in a ballot at the juice place on a whim. Tomorrow I go to find out about this.
9) The leaves are coming out on the trees out back. They look all yellow-green and tiny and soft. In a few weeks we'll get to the state it was in that made me want this apartment -- we walked through the door for the showing, and all I saw was that huge window and the wall of green and sunlight outside it.
10) I still have enough hours in the day to write some fiction, clean my bathroom, and veg.
So all is well and all manner of things are well. If you need a Good Thing, feel free to take the one of your choice. If you have one, feel free to toss it in the pot.
