Bathtub doesn't work for me, sadly, because of my it's-never-all-done pathology.

Getting my hair cut (esp the part where my hairdresser washes my hair...I would pay just for that)

Are these supposed to be things you do? Or can they be things that happen to you, which makes eligible a ton of various stuff.

B'wana Beast, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 06:12 (fifteen years ago)

Getting sick. No really, because when you finally recover from illness it's great.

Cooking a really yummy, slowcooked casserole, the kind you fiddle with on and off for a few hours on a rainy Sunday, dicing, braising, stirring, tasting. Love that feeling of 'yay, I am kind of awesome for making that'

Hot stone massage.

Tried it last Saturday and was floating for a couple of hours afterwards, with the critical nagging inner voice temporarily silenced.

Bob Six, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 07:58 (fifteen years ago)

chilly weather invigorates me. i feel so much better when it's cool out.

also, in the past year i've gotten very into mani-pedis -- a luxurious experience for a reasonably low price, as long as i don't get suckered into upsells.

the kindness of strangers

Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 08:01 (fifteen years ago)

Getting anything done that was neccesary and nagging, so it is out of the way FOREVER.

Depends on what drugs.

think you mean while, not afterwards.

I see what this is (Local Garda), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 12:07 (fifteen years ago)

Well you don't feel great until after you have actually ingested the drugs.

VegemiteGrrrl, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 13:42 (fifteen years ago)

- going for a very, very long walk (eight miles or more)
- finishing a novel (this might be the ultimate one for me, especially when they're good; there's a feeling i get in the ten minutes between the last word and when i finally start to do something else that's like nothing else i know)
- a cup of tea, yes (though usually i wind up drinking three, which is when it stops being a good thing)
- that moment, usually somewhere between finishing the first draft and starting the third, when i can finally start to see what a piece of writing is actually "about" (the fact that i've barely been able to make it to the second draft stage these days is a big part of why i've been so miserable)
- miyazaki films, any of them (the crack cocaine of cinema sentiment for me)

strongohulkingtonsghost, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 13:52 (fifteen years ago)
