• Finishing off my room list
• The library
• Brooches

One Day Late…

• Collapsing after cleaning Boy’s room!
• Iced Latte in glass glass with straw
• Our lovely, clean space complete with candles
• Putting pictures of myself on here
• Pesto & Salmon on Puff Pastry
• Boy watching me type this and offering words to counter my anomia
• Feeling smarter than the firefox dictionary
• Fruit: cherries, peaches, papaya
• Smart Water
• Cuddling
• Even Stepvhen
• Getting caught up on the Colbert Report
• Having LOTS of things to be thankful for!
• My new thank you cards: black with silver typewriter
• Feeling like the thank-you elf when putting a completed card downstairs
• The thought that I could watch ANYTHING on netflix after I’m done with this
• The outfit I’m going to wear tomorrow
• The people I’ll be with tomorrow! Finally I’ll get to spend some time with ALL my cousins in ONE PLACE! I don’t think that’s ever happened! What a blessing!
• Feeling all the tension in my back melt away as I write this
• Going to bed after a long day’s work

• My loving and wonderful RA. I couldn’t live without her.
• My new room & how tension-free it is!
• The warm, sunny weather. Vitamin D always makes me happy
• Intentional healing: keeping pictures of loved ones around and indulging in spa products.
• Sex and the City
• That the Colbert Report and Daily Show are back!
• my friend Dave playing Dave Matthews for me :)
• My bright pink comforter paired with my lime green Tahitian thingy—so happy!
• Checking things off my monster to-do list!

So I’ve decided to keep myself in a better mood by doing “Things I Love Thursday”! Here’s Numero Uno.

• The delicious Ghirardelli mocha I treated myself to this morning—reminded me of San Francisco and home and fog and everything I have to look forward to this summer
• How lovely it is to sleep with my sleep mask on and earplugs in: the silence and dark feel like an extra blanket
• Clean clothes!
• Getting complemented on my writing my my TA today :)
• My Theater Studies Prof’s take on Waiting For Godot: that it’s a happy message—that the waiting keeps us alive and keeps us hopeful
• Doing yoga in theater class
• my red toenail polish
• Warming up in the sun
• Vitamins & the immune security they provide! It is my goal to not get sick this time at finals: I’m staying positive, I’m taking my flax, cranberry, C, and multis, I’m eating fruit and veggies up the wazoo—this is do-able and I will make it out alive!
• Fantasizing about the outfit I’m going to wear when I give my “lecture” in english class! Look out, world!
