sabineDay Ten - Little things
Coffee exists. There's the coffee pot that has a timer and the husband who sets it up before bed every night. There's the Cuban coffee that we have on mornings that are just terrible. There's my Minibru at work that was a Mother's Day gift from my kids. There's Pumpkin Spice lattes. There's good coffee. There's bad coffee. There's endless coffee at Perkins when you really just need an all-night conversation. Coffee exists.
Tea exists. I have Calm tea at home and Tummy Mint for days when I've had too much bad food. I have strong tea at work. I have a fantastic electric kettle and someday I'll install a hot water tap for tea whenever I want.
Chocolate exists. Yum.
Hugs exist. I got big hugs from Emi and Ox this morning. Last night, Emi fell asleep in my arms. She was melting down at bedtime because she knew I had to leave for a trip today, so that was a lot of hug. Ox had a bad dream this morning, so I sat and snuggled him until he was ready to start the day. They both hugged me before I left. Downwood hugged me, too.
Skype exists. I'll get to see and talk to my kids while I'm gone. I got to see my sister and little nephew last night. Emi and Ox got to see and talk to their aunt and cousin. Much communication is possible.
Wrist braces, KT tape, and Aleve exist. These are things that help me get through the daily pain of tendonitis. This is not a great way to live, but maybe I should have taken family history into account when picking a career and avoided anything with repetitive motion. Not that any jobs like that exist, but I can dream.
Water exists. As do water bottles and single serve packets of electrolyte powder.
Books exist. I have a Kindle loaded with new things and some hardcopy books for plane reading. Fiction is my happy place. I like dreaming that I'm in a world where magic is real. Because this world is pretty boring some days.
Dice exist. You can buy dice in every conceivable color combination and size. I always have dice in my purse, just in case emergency gaming or decisions need to be made.
Nail polish exists. Sequins exist. Glitter exists. Football exists. Minions exist. Henna exists. Lotion exists.
There are many reasons to be happy and many things to enjoy. I have to head to TX in a couple hours for work for the weekend, but I'm pretty thankful for a lot of things right now.
Yay coffee!
