Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I saw the dermatologist, who told me that the wart is entirely gone after the first treatment. She looked at my finger, said she thought the wart was gone, and then took a closer look (including scraping off a bit of callus over where the wart had been, and confirmed that. She also explained how she knows this--if there was a wart, it would be sticking up more, and there would be visible capillaries there. So, that's all done, more easily than I had expected. I do still have some dried-out skin on that finger, after a skin infection from when I pulled off a bandage that was stubbornly sticking to the skin. For that, she suggested using a moisturizing lotion and then putting vaseline over it.

JP Licks has peach ice cream, and it's very good. I missed my chance at cucumber last month, and am going to go back and get more peach ice cream soon, even if I haven't finished this pint by then. cattitude was disappointed by the non-dairy black raspberry, because there was too much coconut flavor.

I got a "check your files" email yesterday, from the Social Security Administration:. The "reconsideration" (first appeal) of the denial of benefits has gotten as far as having someone new look at my medical records. I'm not sure if this counts as progress, but it's happening faster than I expected, given how long it took them to decide on my original application.

The knee I scraped when I fell last week is healing annoyingly slowly, but it is healing. I just did some PT exercises that made the knee hurt when I tried them a few days ago.
