Some Things That are Nice...

because I don't have the wits about me to write a real post...

Red Bull & Vodka
being able to smell the soap I just used to wash my face (it's been days!)
an orange cat that has forgiven me for accidentally sort of hitting his nose w/ my shoe earlier. the catnip helped.
putting some of my sister's nice, new, pretty perfume on my dog.
my sister mocking the "Dare to Dip" motto on a potato chip bag.
speaking at length w/ one of my best friends earlier about everything from OJ Simpson's new book (ok, seriously WTF?? no really - WTF???!!!) to blogging etiquette.
an orange cat that has come to sit near me and purr politely (and forgivingly - really, kitty, I'm sorry!)
the absolute quiet of this room
Vick's Vapo-rub (the romance lives on!)
ok, this isn't nice per se but I have to interrupt to say it:

At the corner store tonight, both the cashier and her friend were comparing notes about how many months before their respective boyfriends would be let out of prison. Whaaa??? Yes, this is where I live. It may not look 'hood, but...well, anyway,

the cute, helpful girl at Walgreens tonight. I don't think I've ever had a clerk tell me about so many sale items off the top of her head.
being able to wash my clothes here, finally. HEAVEN.
Cranberry & Vodka (can't drink Red Bull all night on a Wednesday!)
gettin' a coupla' paychecks tomorrow.
celery.
all my cool new records.
my cool friend who helped me find some of them (:
finally getting my bikes over here (they came at the same time as the W/D.)
people who understand me.
job prospects.
that white cat I sometimes see hanging around outside.
not coughing! as much!
preparing for sleep...
kissing an orange cat on the nose.
writing at least something tonight...
