Here is a list of things bringing me joy in these isolated days:
- Cuddling with my husband as we wait for our alarm to go off
- Waking up every morning to my cat nuzzling my hand so I’ll pet her ears
- Playing Stardew Valley for 3 hours every week with 3 of my best friends
- A 5-second commute to work
- Open blinds throughout the day
- Every single pair of sweatpants I own
- Finding new, delicious ways to cook
- Learning new, interesting things about my Instagram friends
- Grapes
- Apples
- Orange Juice
- Long phone calls with my mom
- Daily cat videos with my husband
- My cat walking into my office and flopping onto her back so I’ll get up and pet her
- Sitting on my front steps after work
- Sara Bareilles’s “Gonna Get Over You”
