This post isn't going up until Wednesday, but I'm currently typing it out at 11:30 AM on Sunday. Normally I don't work weekends, but I decided to cover for the weekend girl in order to compensate for a day I'm taking off in a couple of weeks. I'm excited for that day off, but it's not making today any easier to get through, especially with the knowledge that I'll be working 6 days in row, as opposed to my usual 5. So I figured today would probably be a good day to list all the things that make me happy. I'm going to need it to get through the next 5 and a half hours.
- when no one is in the office and I can watch YouTube videos or listen to music
- waking up to discover I still have a few hours until my alarm goes off
- Caramel Apple Spice from Starbucks (I just tried a similar homemade version and it was not up to snuff)
- freshly laundered sheets and pajamas
- petting dogs and cats
- finishing a run without feeling like I'm about to keel over and die
- blog comments and tumblr ask messages (sorry, I couldn't resist)
- when someone tells me that they saw/hear/read something that reminded them of me
- long naps
- ordering clothes online that end up fitting me perfectly
- when something you worked really hard on gets good feedback or a good grade
- my new paycheck being deposited to my back account
- wrapping up in a million blankets and reading in bed
- when our electricity came back on after Hurricane Sandy
- visiting friends from out of town (or having friends from out of town come visit)
- running on the beach (when it's not insanely hot)
- traveling to new places
- when bands I love release new albums
- going to concerts
- train travel through the countryside
- making lists
- crossing things off of my lists
- a long, hot bath after coming in from the cold
- getting something in the mail
- the smell after it rains
- not having to set alarm for the next morning
- falling asleep during a storm
- when something i've had my eye on goes on sale
- getting compliments
- Thanksgiving dinner
- Intense discussion of television and books
- airports (not to be confused with actual airplane flights)
- cozy sweaters
- New York pizza
- bagels breakfasts at the office
What would you put on your happy list?
