Patti came over for 'lunch and a movie'.  I had offered to take her out tomorrow (it's her birthday) but she's going out with her hubby. 

 I think I surprised her with the delicious tuna salad I made - 

she's a great cook, and 

Then we enjoyed Big Miracle.

This morning I deposited a 'surprise' check (Lisa's college refunded the $175 housing deposit) and then this afternoon's mail brought another surprise check: a refund from my health insurance for $180! Since the mail usually brings bills it was a very nice change.

So it's been a good day all around, despite having been up since 2:00.
