My ideal day begins on mid-winter morning. From my comfy chair with ottoman (which I don’t have), I watch a peaceful, windless snow fall (which rarely occurs where I live). My cats and dogs are warm and happy near the fireplace (which I don’t have) or sleeping on my lap.
On the little table beside me, I have a cup of hot, black coffee, a homemade cinnamon roll slathered with icing and dripping with melted butter, and a favorite book to re-read. My cell phone is silenced. Soft music plays in the background.
By late morning, I’m sleepy, and I nap on the couch under a cozy fleece blanket for an hour. Lunch is homemade tomato basil soup with crackers, another cinnamon roll, and more coffee, while I continue reading. Just before dusk, I take the dogs for a walk in the still gently falling snow.
Evening arrives and my supper is a nice cheesy pizza with hamburger and pineapple toppings and a bottle of Corona beer. A good long soak in the tub follows, then back to the comfy chair with my book and a glass (or two) of Malbec.
The day ends with one last look at the falling snow before going to bed. The dogs and cats snuggle in with me, and I turn on a movie to fall asleep to.
Until next time,

You’re my kind of girl. Doesn’t leave the house. Or check her phone. Cozy at home, reading, snuggled up, and goes for the 2nd cinnamon roll 😛
HAHAHA The days I go no farther than my mailbox and walk my dogs are also my favorite kinds of day. On the 2nd cinnamon roll… I’m not above going for 3rds (and more). haha
