southern comfort

It's good to be home. I'm grateful for the little things:

1. dinner with the family (oh, the red meat horror! but plenty of veg dishes to appease me)
2. an automatic washer and dryer in the house
3. driving my own car along streets with lanes and traffic laws which are generally obeyed
4. toilet paper and running water in every bathroom
5. powerful air conditioning
6. diving into barton springs at night
7. having no obligations and therefore no stress when awake in the middle of the night after having slept all afternoon
8. having a roommate who, without jet lag, is always on my time schedule
9. strolls and snuggles with lucy and sam
10. the most comfortable bed in the world, mine
