Simple Things

When I'm sick I forget the simple things more easily, but I also appreciate the simple pleasures more. So, for the past few days I've forgotten to empty the cat little box (she doesn't seem to mind) and check the mail. Also, though, I was very happy climbing into clean sheets, and having a stimulating conversation with my husband about a book he's reading made my night. I was excited to be able to eat take away pizza, even though it was a little soggy (we won't order from that place again). I keep forgetting to turn off the tap when I'm brushing my teeth, wasting precious water (at least I'm remembering to brush). When things are back to normal, there will probably be some cleaning to do because I'm just not noticing (or am I deliberately turning a blind eye to?) the dust and fur-bunnies. On the other hand, I'll also feel good again so maybe I won't mind whipping around the house singing to iTunes, mop in hand.
