I know I've been in a bad mood. This sinus infection is still kicking my ass. My grumpiness has been showing both in my recent posts here, as well as on Twitter. Also, Vixen is in the vet hospital overnight after having her surgery today, and I miss her. 
I need something to help me think more positively, so I'm borrowing this meme from Tina at mummifiedtimesfive.net.
What are some simple things that satisfy you? Here are some of mine:
- Vixen crawling inside my shirt to go to sleep
- frozen peach margaritas
- falling asleep on the couch before bed (for some reason, this nets me a much deeper sleep once I do go to bed, than if I go to bed wide awake)
- getting up at 7am because I want to, not because I have to
- fat-free chocolate pudding
- my own kind of "spa day": a long shower, fingernails and toenails trimmed, legs shaved, and unwanted hairs plucked
- long weekends (hurry up, Memorial Day)
- after-work naps under my fuzzy blanket
- Chris' goddaughter Abbie's gorgeous one-year-old smile
- hot chocolate made with steamed milk in the winter, and strawberry Coolattas in the summer
What are your simple pleasures?
