Things That Make Me Happy

• Fred and I went out to eat last night. We went to our local diner and I had a cheeseburger and their fantastic fries.
• The Kindle: Right now, I am reading two science fiction magazines–Asimov’s and Analog, and I am enjoying them so much I may continue subscribing to both of them.
• Getting to watch Dr. Who without commercials. {I bought the DVDs}
• Sunshine and being able to sit outside.
• I am breathing freely without having to use the inhaler. {I still get short of breath from very light activity, but I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday and I will bring that up.}
• I am LOVING that I am not taking classes or dashing off somewhere this summer. Don’t get me wrong–I enjoy classes and traveling, but I find myself right now actively enjoying the idea of no trips and no classes for a few months.
• My stimulus check arrived in my bank this morning. I look on it as more fodder for the Kindle! {Like ITunes and the IPod, it can be a money-sucker if I let it. }
• I got to talk to my younger son on IM a day or so ago.
• I feel hungry which is a Good Thing. A couple of weeks ago, Fred was tempting me with soft-boiled eggs which are the only thing I am the slightest bit interested in eating when I am not well. This morning, I am HUNGRY!
• Slowly, I am getting housework done. I still don’t enjoy it, but it does make me happy that the apartment is looking a little better…

Ok, off to make myself an omelet for breakfast…
