life’s little luxuries

No matter what life throws at you there are always little things that make it that much better. It could be an ice cream, a smile from a stranger, a hug from someone you love, anything that helps you get through the day.

My thing for today was getting to see my ‘man’ for the first time in almost two weeks. I’ve been in Sydney and though I got back yesterday, he’s currently on Beach Mission down past Geelong and his day off was, thankfully, today. He drove up last night and I got to spend about 5 hours with him today, including two at lunch with close friends that move to France/Belgium tomorrow. I now don’t get to see him again until Sunday/Monday, so I’m going to have to survive through another six days without him. Lame, I know.

My other luxury for the day was buying myself a fan. It has been ridiculously hot in Melbourne this week and, as I discovered last night, there are no fans in my house. My offset of that is the massive bag of clothes and an old doona that went in a charity bin earlier this afternoon from cleaning out my room. I have a feeling that by the end of the weekend I’ll have more to add to that pile, but for now it’s a start of the total clean out and clean up of my life planned for this year.

And now, I’m enjoying my last couple hours of holidays before I’m back at work tomorrow.
