1. Having four good books to read, so I can go as fast as I want and not have to pace myself to read slowly in case I have no more books to read.
  2. Being able to blast my music really loud, with the bass turned up and thumping, because my mother isn’t home to complain about the noise
  3. Stealing my brother’s Reese’s peanut butter cups from the refrigerator. My favorite.
  4. Apple cheese sausages in the fridge, for me to flash-fry later with olive oil and drizzlings of honey and sautéed onions. Oh baby, yeah.
  5. The anticipation of the National Day Parade on TV. Yes, I have a soft spot for the NDP, remember.
  6. Thinking about what I had for breakfast this morning. It tasted so, so good - I wish I could have more.
