Day 2.

It would be pretty easy to wrap up today feeling a bit discouraged. After all, my day has consisted of a fight over house cleaning, house cleaning, exercise (blech!), and a really annoying cat who would like to be fed his midnight snacks rightnowthankyouverymuch.

In fact, in days past, I would be dwelling right now. But that's the point of this blog, inn'it? To keep me from dwelling and to remind me of the good from today? So here it is--the stuff that made me happy over the last 24 hours.

#1 Sleeping In
I think sleeping in is the best thing ever. I have sleep apnea, so my sleep is rarely quality; I have to make up for it in quantity. This week of holiday vacation has been especially good for that, and today was no exception--I slept until 11 and then took an hour nap later. So good.

#2 Friends
I met up with a friend this afternoon for a coffee and crochet session at Panera. It was a ton of fun to catch up with her--I haven't seen her since before the holiday. This leads to...

#3 Coffee
God damn, do I love me some coffee. I was recently reminded that back in college, I never drank the stuff, but those days seem so long ago now. My day will never be complete without a coffee. Or maybe it would be complete, but it would be a little less--shall I say it?--joyful.

I got into crocheting last year. I'm not much into doilies or afghans--I prefer to make little cartoonish animals and vegetable with faces. It's a style of crocheting called Amigurumi that originated in Japan, and it's too cute for its own good. I am happier at the end of the day knowing that such cuteness exists in this world.
