Good days are mundane. A time to water the plants, groom the dogs, dust and clean the house. Call friends. Prepare for a college course. But, when you're fighting cancer, mundane is good.

On an especially good day, Corinne has the energy to go see her horse. Maybe even to take a short ride in the canyons.

We can sometimes turn a normal good day into an especially good day by going to visit a friend. Or going to a dinner party. Or, sometimes, taking a day trip into the mountains. Those days are wonderful and memorable.

Perhaps because Corinne tends to overdo it on good days, she is often worn out or in pain the next day. She worries on good days how she might have to pay for it later.
