Daily Essentials

[carsonshepherd]

Every day, I must:

Have tea. Black or green. Loose or bagged, hot or iced. No sweetner. Can't do coffee, it's gotta be tea.

Spend time with my dogs - playing, talking baby talk, snuggling, going for walks, whatever. It's therapy. I come home early from vacations because I miss my dogs.

Read. Magazines, newspapers, internet, cereal boxes, I'll read anything that's near me when I'm sitting still.

What are your daily essentials?

Before I answer, I want to know if we're excluding bodily functions.

Oh go take a piss, Joe........

Air....

Hopefully nobody starts freaking on Maslow.

I've had to do without just about everything else at one time or another, just not all at the same time.

Excluding bodily functions that is.....

 

[Cat Scarlett]

The feeling that I've achieved something ... even if it's only rolling out of bed.

 

[Guest]

A vanilla latte, 5 minutes to bitch about everything, alone time and an orgasm (Naturally, the last two can occur together. Yea! Twofer one!)

[NoJo]

part of my daily routine (which is regulated entirely by caffeine) is playing piano. That and my morning walk to work keep me from going completely bonkers.

 

[Harry Leg]

My daily essentials used to include coffee, something to read, food, and a walk...but now I seem to have forgotton about all of them and the only thing i seem to need is her.

Quality time with my husband.

A hug and kiss first thing in the morning.

Pencils with good erasers, for school.

Furry socks to wear in the evening.

Sex.

Soundscapes.

Something to challenge my intellect.

 

[Liar]

five minutes of silence
five minutes of loud music
two cups of quality coffee (ok, any caffeinated mud will do)
one brisk walk
one creative effort
one laugh
liqourice
toothpaste
sleep

I cannot eat without milk, seriously, even in a romantic dinner LOL. I also cannot eat without a cig afterwards. Everything else I can do without - sort of

 

[carsonshepherd]

creative thought. Something not about work, or home, or my life, or anyone else's problems - something that transports me.

Why milk?

 

[NoJo]

Why milk?

she probably meant "milk".

 

[carsonshepherd]

she probably meant "milk".

Don't fuck with me. I kept driving by the neighborhood school last week and glancing at the sign that posts their weekly announcements and wondering what the fuck "MILK DAY" is....

then I realized it was MLK Day...

 

[Guest]

she probably meant "milk".

I think she's using milk as a sub-textual signifier. Just a hunch.

Perdita

 

[matriarch]

Must have - every day:

- Lady Grey or Early Grey, black, no sugar. Several cups.

- The smile on her face and in her eyes when she finally opens them in the morning and sees me. The day cannot start without that prologue.

- Toasted English muffin, with butter (sparing), and marmalade.

- Many, many soft loving kisses from her.

- At least an hour on here, my daily fix in the family playroom.

- Many, many hugs from her.

- The sound of her laugh when I say something stupid, or use an English word or expression that she's not heard before.

- The sight of her face.

- Her voice telling me she loves me, just before I fall asleep.

OK, I'll stop now before you all throw up.
