Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently?

Your icon, aka userpic, of a pentagram with a superimposed, umm, (bowtie? What to call it?) X + side edges. This:

Yes. I definitely didn't have to look that up. Definitely not. Nope.

I don't remember the timing, so I'm not sure whether this is the same good news I answered to this question last time you asked it: I passed the test for the freelance proofreading-QC job I applied for. Also, my friend from Baltimore is coming up next week to visit for a while. :-)

GREAT news

It doesn't matter if you repeated it, because it's the first time I heard it, and therefore, the first time I can offer congratulations!

Enjoy the visit!

I passed a test.

It's not a Big Important Test, but it was a practice run for a Big Important Test. Detailed results should be arriving soon, and that'll help me prep for the next one.

FLOOF

My roommates adopted a cat & he is a RIDICULOUS FLOOFER.

hawthorne 3

His name is Hawthorne, & he's at that age when he's bigger than he was this morning so he falls over a lot. He is EVERYWHERE in this house, he wants to be Near the People which is tricky when the people are in different places, so he tries to solve this by zooming around a lot. Then he flops over & sleeps on his back with paws EVERYWHERE.

Kitty! \o/
What a handsome fellow he is!

My kitty still zooms around a lot trying to be Near the People, and she's coming up on 2.

Hawthorne lived rough for a while & he's relearning how to play (which isn't taking him too long!) so I'm hoping he stays playful for a Very Very Long Time. He's also very, very trusting of us two-leggers for someone we're pretty sure was chucked out of a car when he was young. :/

Awww . . . Hawthorne is soo cute. :)

Our kitties can be like that too. I think it means they like their human-shaped companions.

Hmmm

It's not immediately recent but still pretty recent but the eye doctor did the six-month check, he found that the macular degeneration I have in one eye is slow-progressing and the vitamins seems to be helping keep it that way. So I can switch to getting that checked along with my annual eye exam every year until that changes.

It was a surprise diagnosis last year since I was only 29. I didn't know that macular degeneration happened to young people. It does, sometimes. Not as often as with older people but it does. Another good reason to get your eyes checked even if you don't wear glasses ladies, gentlemen and others.

I also count it as a good thing that I'm feeling more able to talk about it. It's not easy but I think it's good.

My physical therapist has released me, and said, "Go practice."

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!11111eleven!!!!*kermitarmsallovertheplace* TWIST IT 'TIL THE GRIN COMES ON!!! (Well, not yet. But Soon.)

(Translation: I GET TO RIDE AGAIN (http://powersports.honda.com/2016/ctx700n.aspx).)

Eight months and twenty days. Two weeks and eight hours of that in hospital, twelve of it on disability leave. Cost me a lot, some of which I can't talk about here, but the marriage is stronger (and so is my intolerance for assholes, and my empathy for homeless folk). It ain't perfik, but it will Do.
