Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• The times when Bronx decides to curl up in a box or bag, or on a shelf, rather than standing on my keyboard trying to collect nuzzles. NO thanks for the times he does the latter, "Though it's clearly evident/These attentions are well-meant."
• Chocolate. Coffee. Mochas.
• Having only one radiation treatment left. (But I'll miss the people, and the structure the appointments give to my weekday mornings. Also, wasn't I supposed to get superpowers?)
• Knees in good enough shape that I can take stairs sometimes instead of waiting for an elevator. (If it was more than two floors I probably wouldn't, though.)
• My kids.

I don't know how to break this to you, but the superpowers usually get held up in government and/or health-insurance bureaucracy. The ones we hear about are the exceptions.

Oh. That would explain it.

I didn't get any superpowers from my radiation treatments; I already had one superpower. I can slice a bagel with a plastic knife to toast it, then butter it with the same knife, and cut it crosswise in 4ths to make it easier to eat. (Comes from having grown up on Long Island, and lived in the Bronx for seven years.) Other superpowers - I can smell when it's about to snow. And I can usually make machinery do what it's intended to do; it just takes a little persuasion.

Hooray! Give that bell a few great big clangs! I brought someone along with me to take a video.
