The whirring thumping drum of the attic fan on the first warm day of spring
Refilling a jar of cotton balls, all white and pure and fluffy
Hot wind blowing my hair up in crazy waves while riding in a dirty convertible
The dog's furry behind running down the hall to his crate as soon as the treat jar clinks
Binge watching a whole season of a tv show on Netflix
Getting real mail, cards from friends or drawings or photos from our niece and nephews
My arms overflowing with freshly checked out library books
Pinching off tiny bits of cookie batter to taste before baking
Three hour lunches with old friends, our stories making us laugh and cry and layering up with our shared history
Joe rubbing my shoulders while I wash the crusty dinner dishes
Hitting the submit button for an online grant application after hours of work
Dancing alone in my empty living room in my pjs and bedhead
