That are making me happy today:
1. The weeping cherry tree that I brought home from the garden shop today. I don't know where it is going to go yet, so I got a pretty black pot to put it in for one season, while I figure that out. Ideally, I want to be able to see it from my bed.
2. My local library, and new books to read while I travel next week.
3. My cozy bed, where I retired to rest and read for a while after returning home after the errands that wore me out (I called in sick today - I really shouldn't have been running errands, either).
4. This sweet one, who is really glad I'm at home today. He doesn't really care that I'm sick, just that I'm here. He keeps coming in the room I'm in and bumping his head up against my knees.
5. The new holes in my roof that bring in SO MUCH light and make my formerly dark house a very much nicer place to be. I really need to do something about that wood paneling, though.
6. A knitting project on my kitchen counter. I don't know why that makes me happy, it just does.
7. Meyer lemon tea sweetened with avocado honey. I have drunk so much of this stuff since I got sick, and it is so good. Soothing, hydrating, good for me. My mom brought me this honey back from Julian, and my brother brought me the lemons from the farmer's market on Saturday. That makes me happy, too.
8. Rainbows spinning around my kitchen while I make my tea. I thought that my little solar-powered prism was broken, but it just needed a little kick start.
9. Modern medicine. The decongestant is keeping me sane (I have a sinus infection, and it HURTS), and the Amoxicillin is supposed to make me better. Any time now. I have been sick for way too long at this point and I'm totally over it. Maybe it is a stretch to say these things are making me happy, but they are making me grateful.
10. A brand-new spring-decorated travel journal, and the promise of travel just a few days away. I can't wait. Artfest, here I come! Hopefully I'll feel better before I leave!
i love it all.

You should keep the wood paneling. My guess is it's going to make a comeback :) I love getting little peekies inside your home.
