Cool night air coming in through the window.
The ability to move downstairs to cool my core, and upstairs to warm and de-stiffen my muscles.
Calm that comes with three days in the bush in a row.
Corn! Big corn (cascade ruby gold, open oak party), medium corn (atomic orange, saskatoon white), diverse corn (painted mountain) and gaspe with its ears forming that feels safe, like it has my back no matter what the others do.
Tomatoes that have grown together into a giant mat, as expected, and should now happily cross-pollinate if only I can find tomatoes under all that.
A botanist friend who, when I posted a picture of a flower, replied only with the latin name. I feel less alone.
A world that provides for me even if I don't trust it Joni Mitchell singing "clouds" a couple days ago and bringing more meaning to that song than she ever could before.
Being able to (finally) talk to Tucker about (other) relationships. I like how he treats me now better than I did as a partner.
Sunscreen, sunglasses, headscarf.
Threshold sending dragonflies to replace the bats and swallows. They eat the bugs, which is needed, and also they remind me of the way time turns and turns and turns and always passes. Symbol of ephemeral.
My floors, oh my goodness it's been over a decade since I could wash my floors weekly and I just missed that absolute full-on not-even-a-breath-of-stickiness-ever so much.
Feel good viral memes
Having language and framework to describe the exhausting, reactionary protectiveness of PDA.
Instagram starting to send me videos on neat and easy things to do with long hair. I may even do one of them someday.
Recognising how much I place my notice and gratitude in things I have done for myself, and in nonhuman pieces of the world.
And now, my bed and being able to lie down.
