Things That Make Me Feel (More) Human

Friday

Moderator
This is coming off of a status update, because as soon as I posted it, my brain decided to quick fire a whole durn LIST of things that make me feel more human… and most of them rare not presently in my life, so that makes them goals.

- An espresso at a metal cafe table, planning my day
- Massage
- Swimming, first thing in the morning (no driving!!! Wake up, walk 10 feet, fall into body of water)
- Hot water & soap.

List goes on.

You? Gotta list? What makes you feel human, or more human?
 
Well....not far off yours but,

- hot shower - soap
- haircut
- posting on forums (connecting)
- Latte and French pastry, outside on a warm sunny day.
- going out for ice cream with my sister and nephew (Banana Split preferred)
- hitting a great burger place for a burger and a shake
 
Going to the lake with my mom. Walking the trail. Having deep/meaningful discussions. Laughter. Going to synagogue, praying, learning Torah and observing the mitzvot (commandments Jews are required to obey, distinct from the 10 commandments). Hosting big Shabbat dinners and leading the brachot (blessings). Helping and teaching others. Cigarettes, gabapentin, kratom and coffee. Stardew Valley. Squading up on Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and just shitting around. Being among others, with others, beside others. Kindness and joy. Having a beer on the balcony with my Switch. Talking with my step-mom and sisters.
 
fed, clothed and working, as early as possible every day. Being a human is about being there and ready to go for me. And some days it really sucks to wear the yoke but there it is, being human can be a pain in the ass.
Best days of human? Wake up, brush teeth, make coffee, check on the emails while it brews, sit in the hot tub until pruny, throw tennis balls for the dogs, and plan the day.

delivering eggs on egg day-no daughters so...
so no daughters to deliver to the roller rink? Dont get stuck up in Alaska when you should be in Nebraska!
