things that make me smile after 5:46am

1. the thunderstorm that woke me instead of a damp sunrise
2. that the mosquito i smashed about four hours earlier is still stuck to the wall
3. thinking of yoda's wiggling ears, but realizing that it was too early in the morning for me to even attempt to wiggle the one that i can (i caught the end of the SABC3 movie last night - some star wars episode)
4. having a second shower from the runoff as i stick my head out the door under the arboretum
5. black (clean) shirts
6. rediscovering accidentally songs in my itunes library that talk about rain -when it is raining
7. that 2% milk leaves just enough swirl in my nescafe to require stirring it away with a spoon
8. clothes hanging on the line that aren't mine
9. lacy suds from wet footprints mixed with spilled laundry detergent on my steps
(ending this list with nine instead of 10)
