August Happiness Challenge -- Day 23

My 2023 happiness icon
Today's Happiness: I can't choose!

I didn't expect today to be such a happy day, but it was. So much goodness, so unanticipated, that I can't choose just one.

a. My annual escrow analysis came in and not only will I be paying a little less every month, soon I'll be receiving a check for the overpayment! This makes me feel better about the economy -- my personal budget and the nation's.

b. My first-ever Social Security check was direct deposited. I put much of it into my savings account, bolstering my dental work fund and life/long term care insurance funds. It's such a relief to know that, when those bills inevitably come due, I won't have to touch my retirement funds to cover them.

c. I went to the doctor today for my annual physical. First of all, I just adore her and her office staff. Secondly, my bloodwork came back pretty close to normal in all areas. Not bad for an old broad.

d. Anthony Rizzo was photographed at Yankee Stadium this afternoon with a bat in hands. He was cleared by his neurologist to hit off the tee. On the one hand, it breaks my heart that an All-Star and World Series Champion is playing tee-ball like a pre-schooler. On the other hand, it's progress and done after consultation with a specialist. It makes me happy to anticipate him well again.

I'd know my lefty anywhere
