2. Double-chocolate cherry stout on a cold night.
3. That our local purveyor of yummy food and excellent beer is packed, absolutely packed, every night of the week after 6pm. Despite the recession.

5. The whole bed to myself. This is only fun for one night, and tends to be aggressively ruined by the aforementioned snuggly cats, but every so often it is nice to really stretch out (displacing cats as necessary).
(I’m not doing the full every-day-for-a-year version of Grace in Small Things, but I do like the idea.)
