We're bypassing the obvious basics; food, shelter, clothing,
yes?
-My phone. When I first got a cell phone, I hated it. Didn't
comprehend why in the world one would need to be able to be reached
at any time of the day, let alone text messaging, what a waste!
Now, I send maybe about 150-300 texts a day and receive about the
same amount. Using my phone to check my email isn't a rare
occurrence.
-My amazing triple chain wallet chain. I don't know what it is
about these things but I am excited to have this one unlike some of
my previous ones.
-Whatever book I happen to be reading that day. I can blaze through
a 450-600 page book in a day if I'm intrigued by it. Colleagues
have been known to hold conversations with me while staring at the
covers of the book. I can multi-track so it's not exactly a
rudeness, I just. . .maybe it's a compulsion?
-Music. Radios, my own tunes, I have to hear it, sing along to it
(sometimes well, sometimes not as much) unless it's a case of
ohrwurm and then it can't die fast enough! I play stringed
instruments as well as sing (thanks for the lessons mom, sorry I
didn't become the new Maria Callas).
-My fiancee. And the adopted catbabies. Oof, I never thought I'd
say this but I'm glad to have these balls of fur in my life!
-My family. I have a family I was born to (they'll never change)
and a family I choose of the people who are around me (they've not
changed in a couple of years and I don't think I plan to do any
changes to them in the foreseeable future) and all of them know
this one truth of mine; if it came down to their lives for mine, I
wouldn't hestitate.
