My cat usually sleeps my by head, but it's randomly gotten chilly and she's been shaved for the summer, so she was under the blankets. We ended up sleeping back to back. That was my old cat's favorite sleeping position. When I woke up, I was 12 again, just for a little bit.
Sitting out back in my chair and watching the clouds, or crocheting/knitting out there. A nice breeze, sunlight through the trees. Sometimes I just go out there to stand a little and come back in.
I started Monster Hunter Wilds recently and it's reminded me of why I love games. I always think of the friend who introduced it to me and how excited we were when I kill my first "big" monster. I killed this fire octopus last night and I raised my hands up in excitement and was, well, excited and happy. I don't feel that way very often.
And just getting to sit in silence. I live alone, and I'm lucky enough to have good neighbors. Just getting to lay in bed and do nothing before getting up is such a gift.
