What's your little joy?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37722points) 13 hours ago

What little thing are you enthralled with?

I renewed my passport, and I got the passport card along with the regular book. I’m totally gaga. It’s completely out of proportion to the event of receiving them. I’ve studied the book and looked at all the blank pages. I got out my magnifying glass to study the minutiae of the card. I peered into all the tiny security details. I’m obsessed.

What mundane thing has you going nuts?

I’m labeling this question as No Politics Please. (Something that was discussed in the Meta Section some weeks ago.) Any political posts will be flagged.

New Photography Classes at Cornell. Somewhat mundane, but taking my lifelong hobby to another level already.

I just upgraded the stylus on my turntable to a microlinear. Never thought the difference would be so huge. I’m going back and listening to my albums and hearing detail I never knew was there. Mind = Blown.

The seasonal switch over of critters in my little suburban neighborhood. Some have flown south, some are preparing for long naps, some are coming into their own. The cardinals are more evident and chatty, the raccoons are sluggish.

Watching them go about their natural business in the autumn is kind of soothing.

I always kinda miss Alan, my underdeck marmot in the winter, though.

Taking a shower and surviving!

The return of really nice weather. It’s going to be close to 80 tomorrow (Halloween). This weather is enabling me to spend time outside, enjoying the autumn splendor. When it gets cold, i tend to stay inside, under the blankets. I’m dreading that, but it’s postponed, at least for the next few days.

Turkish coffee. Served in a pretty tiny cup and saucer with a small powdery Turkish delight on the side.

My little joy is pictured in my avatar.

Her nicknames have generated some strong, but easily memorized passwords for me. ;-p

I just had a perfectly ripe banana.

I don’t know how many of these things are mundane. But…

1) snow falling from the sky and gradually turning the world into a crisp, clean scenario, even if it won’t last.
2) cracking a new book open that I’ve been wanting to read for a while.
3) finally finding a really good TV show or movie that I want to watch among all the crap that is out there today
4) Friday nights, when the whole potential of the weekend is ahead of me.

@Dutchess_III is that one in the same thing? You have a dangerous shower or something? Or is it two separate things, I hope!

Just getting my feetless feet to organized enough to get in the shower without killing myself @LifeQuestioner.
And now we’re looking at severe weather and tornadoes tonight.

My burning bush is brighter and redder than it ever has been. It makes me smile every time I drive up to my yard.

I remember when my husband received the newer style of passport, he got his before me, I still had the old style. I loved it. More colorful and pictures and famous quotes. I also studied it closely and was very pleased with the improvement.

Just being comfortable makes me so happy. Warm and a comfy chair or my bed.

I appreciate so much when I don’t have to do anything I don’t feel like doing. I lie to myself and pretend for a while I don’t have anything to do and enjoy the bliss at least momentarily.

Music.
I play guitar, and it’s extremely therapeutic. I have withdrawal, if I can’t play.

Blackwater_Park's avatar

@MrGrimm888 Pinched nerve is keeping me from playing at the moment. I can’t even headbang properly.

In a 170gram or 6oz bag.
