the return of the Monday List of Happiness

Here's a baker's dozen for today:

1. woke to the sound of rain

2. took the day off work

3. lunch with Phil at my favorite burger joint -- yummy garden burger, Cherry Coke, and fries -- and then he came home with me for a while

4. phone company guy got everything fixed

5. spring cleaning the bedroom while I move the computer out of the kitchen

6. happy Boo-Cat letting Phil rub his belly

7. Phil helping me move furniture and sticking around while phone company guy was here

8. showing Phil sadynax's baby Sherlocks-and-Johns comics (and he loved them)

9. listening to Moody Blues music while I work

10. finding lost stuff while cleaning, like my baseball cap collection and fedora

11. knowing Mom's going to cry with happiness Friday when she comes home sees a tablecloth and flowers and nothing else on the kitchen table

12. Ben and Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream

13. having enough cash to buy groceries for the week and nice enough weather to walk to the supermarket at the end of the block
