this moment

At this moment...

I'm listening to my roommate watch Family Guy and hear the click of a keyboard while I type on my MB Pro.
I hear the slight hum of the air conditioner and feel it's gentle breeze brush past my face.
I'm thankful for air conditioners when the high is 95 degrees, like today.

The hairs on my forehead tickle from the air conditioner.
And soon as I say "tickle" little spots all over my face and neck tickle. Why is that?

I feel comfortable. Laying upright on my new comforter [duvet] from Ikea, with just the right amount of pillows nestled behind my back.. and next to my new yellow rosette Target pillow. It's nice.

I feel good. Not hungry, not tired, not sore, there's no pain. I just feel normal. I appreciate normal right now.

I anticipate the times around the corner and I'm ready to treasure the memories made.

I am 89% done with Water For Elephants..or so my Kindle tells me. Chapter 23 awaits.

I chopped my hair, it's shorter than before..but not too short. I hope he likes it in person.
I feel younger with this look but I don't know what others see.

I taste peanut butter and honey sandwich. It reminds me of school, and how much I love summer because there's no school.

Today is good :)
