New Thing:- identify 100 things that make me happy

My new thing for this week was meant to be tasting absinthe at a party last night, but I've been ill and never went. So today I had to find something reasonably quick to do. I've settled on identifying 100 things that make me happy. It SHOULD be ok, because I'm in a reasonably good place at the moment, aside from being ill and having an idiot doctor. However, last time I took on a 100 things task, it wasn't as easy as I thought...

So here I go: 100 things that make me happy...

1) knitting, and seeing a piece come together
2) reading vampire stories
3) being curled up with N

5) eating ice-cream
6) getting my hair done by the fabulous D
7) sorting out paperwork, or correcting someone else's spelling mistakes
