[Remind-Fans] a reminder for the day after a reminder

I want to set a (partial) date in a variable and issue a reminder on that
date and then the day after that date.  (I have a whole list of dates
that don't have a pattern to them, so I can't use any "repeat" help.)

This doesn't work, but you get the idea:

    SET d "Sep 23"
    REM [d] MSG some reminder text
    REM [d] SPECIAL HTML some similar reminder text for the calendar
    REM [d+1] MSG a different reminder on the day after the above reminder

What's the simplest way to do "d+1"?  This works but surely isn't optimal:

    SET d "Sep 23"
    REM [d] MSG some reminder text
    REM [d] SPECIAL HTML some similar reminder text for the calendar
    REM [d] SCANFROM [today()-1] SATISFY 1
    REM [trigdate()+1] MSG a different reminder on the day after the above

Above, I'm looking to convert "Sep 23" into a trigdate() to which I can add one.
