* my stats at the doctor's office - seeing that always perks me up a bit: Blood pressure 110/70, BMI 19.92, Weight 131lb (with shoes on btw), Height 5'8", Pulse 50, O2 Saturation 99%, BSA 1.69 m2 (BSA is a new one for me, I'm still not totally sure what it means, apparently it's a "better" indicator of health to weight ratio than BMI, but I'm in the "normal" range for it anyway, average is 1.6 for women but I dunno if it's good to be higher or lower? I'm closer to a male average but not wildly out of bounds in any way.)

* hot coffee in the mornings, slow morning walks with the cat
* my toaster oven (it was my mom's. it is so appreciated and loved.)
* ghost art, spooky art in general (Market of the Beast is this Sunday, I might try to go)
* the warmth and security of knowing that i'm loved and cared for
* the fact that as I get older, I'm more aware of how real it is that any day could be my last, so I don't hesitate to use the fancy soap in the shower, or the nice skin cream, or the extra pretty eyeshadow. and to tell people i love them.
