A Series of Pleasant Events

1. This last week, I found all sorts of nerdy stuff to occupy my time, such as Google Labs's App Inventor, which allows you to create your own Android apps without a great amount of programming knowledge. It's kind of limited, but it's kind of fun, too! (I also found, or re-found, a development environment for making games called Game Maker and some apps that will hopefully allow me to use scripting languages on my Android tablet, but I haven't really had a chance to play around with those yet.)
2. Today started without an alarm clock. It was still kind of early, but I woke up on my own schedule, and not on that of incessant beeps that usually go off at the same time each morning.
3. I made breakfast for my wife, and got to serve it to her in bed. I also pulled some bread dough out of the freezer so that it could thaw and rise.
4. Then I got breakfast for myself and ate it in bed with my wife.
5. A bit after breakfast, we walked to McDonald's and each got a Happy Meal with a Pokémon toy.
6. From McDonald's, we walked to the aquarium, where we were amazed by an updated exhibit and got to wonder all over again at the marvels that live in and around the sea.
7. We rode most of the way home on a free trolley service that runs during the summer.
8. After resting up for a bit, we drove to the shopping center to do some window shopping.
9. We weren't going to buy anything, but we noticed that Patricia Briggs's Masques, which has been out of print forever, has been re-released with some edits, along with its sequel, written after 20 or more years more of experience as an author. We had to get both.
10. We also took note of a couple of other books that we are going to request from the library.
11. I got a gumball from a gumball machine.
12. At the game store, we noticed that a used copy of a game that we had kind of wanted to get for a while was only $10, so we got that, too.
13. The rest of the day will include a homemade dinner, a relaxing evening, and probably some reading.
14. Edit: After the original posting of this, I decided to make peach cobbler, which is currently in the oven. And we're going to get ice cream to go with it.

The past few days have been good, especially today.
