1. Viola
2. S-- who was my stand partner in the violin II section, and now has to find someone else while I play viola. She is also a metalhead. We had tea and donuts after rehearsal tonight. She's nice.
3. The new color of paint on 3/4 of the trim in my dining room. Hopefully, soon it will be on 4/4 of it! It's like a Tiffany blue or robin's egg blue.
4. Knitting on 4 double-pointed needles. It's challenging, but when I do it, I feel a connection to all my knittersisters throughout the ages.
5. My beater car. Over 300,000 miles and it's still going.
6. Not being an alcoholic or drug addict.
7. Hot and cold running water coming out of the sink faucet in my bathroom. Had a broken hot water faucet for a year, I think, and the landlord finally got a plumber over here for a bunch of leaks, and this guy convinced the landlord to spring for a mixer faucet with a handle. It's kinda ugly--modern--in an old house, but, the luxury of washing my face with warm water just cannot be beat.
8. My pets who just adore me, if in a generally underfoot and annoying sort of way.
9. ebay for some things. Vacuum bags for my Miele. 5/8" ear grommets, the face cream I like, etc.
10. Food for nourishing me.
