Exhibits of appreciation

Over the past almost-week, I've come to appreciate things that I've taken for granted recently.

Exhibit a:
cell phone. it was dead for nearly five days (rather unnecessarily i've come to find out, boo) but I am so so grateful to have it back. granted, i never had a phone in high school, so it shouldn't be too difficult, but i got sucked in and acclamated.

Exhibit b:
car. after being hauled around california in a vehicle, and getting back here, and feeling a bit stranded was difficult, but it did give me a great opportunity to do some walking around my little town, which i appreciated.

Exhibit c:
friends in close proximity. fortunately two of my favorite ladies stuck around town, but they lived infinitely farther than they used to. previously, i took about three steps, and was in their living quarters, nowadays, it's much farther, and i've missed them.

Exhibit d:
food that is yours in the fridge. all i had to eat at the beginning of the week was cereal, bread, cereal, instant oatmeal, and granola. not very healthy. and i had no means to get anything else (see exhibit b), but fortunately a wise and lovely girl talked some sense in me, and i very willingly waltzed over to the grocery store to load up on some fresh fruits and vegetables to relieve my carbohydrate anxiety.

Exhibit e: 
not having to worry about being jobless. now i do. now i am a bit on the hunt. not to the point of desperation, but that stop is close for the current track i'm on. no matter. there is hope, there is always hope, i just never had to think about it before.

Well, there is that. I am now really, really happy and content, and most of these have become less prevalent in my life (except for exhibit e, still very, very prevalent.) 

Bonne nuit!
