The Triple Threat

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

I don’t know that there’s any three objects that I couldn’t truly live without. If I were forced to pick, I would likely say phone, car, and a good pair of boots.

To take it down a different path, I’ll just list three things that I feel are really nice to have, and they’re not necessarily all objects.

A good set of weights:

A good set of weights and decent bar is nice to have around. I used to have a gym at my old workplace, but since I’m not there anymore, I am glad I have stuff of my own to use. It’s bought and paid for, and no gym fees. I call that a win.

A good pizza:

A good pizza is a nice indulgence. While I am currently curbing the frequency of my intake, I do enjoy one at some point during the week. It’s a small pleasure that’s nice to look forward to.

A good nap:

It’s nice to kick back once in awhile and take a good old fashioned nap. Sometimes if the mind is too clouded, a brief round of unconsciousness can be good. It removes you from what’s rattling around in your brain, and sometimes, after you’ve been away from it a short spell, either you realize it’s not so bad, or you find the solution comes easier after the break.

While we can, and often do, survive on much less, there’s a few things that always go in the “nice to have” bucket. Sometimes those little things make the difference between a lousy day and a decent one.

  1. The satisfaction of enjoying a good pepperoni pizza is real, especially after having a productive week! โœจ๐Ÿ•Why do I feel more comfortable and cozy when I’m on my couch ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ, yet almost insomniac when I sleep in bed? ๐Ÿฅธ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜ด

    1. Maybe it’s a really nice couch? ๐Ÿ˜„
      I have the same at times. I can be sitting up damn near unconscious, and then as soon as I lay down I cannot get comfortable to save my life, and I end up awake.

      +1 on a good slice being the bow on a good week. It’s like a mini celebration!

  3. I agree about the nap removing the cloud in your mind. Sometimes you just need a little distance to clear your head to realize it isnโ€™t so bad after all. That, or a pizza food coma. But you canโ€™t have these too often. They are too difficult to recover from.

    Liked by 2 people

    1. Exactly. If we’re too wrapped up in something, sometimes a nap is just enough to break it up and give the brain a respite.

      Yeah, one food coma too many is a dangerous thing ๐Ÿ˜„

  9. Yes yes, I found the way myself. I clicked on turn on notifications In one of your blog. I think itโ€™s an updation from WordPress.

      2. I have not had it happen with your blog yet. I usually get the notifications, but sometimes I will notice I don’t see anything from people who blog regularly, and when I go to look, there’s a ton of posts and I am not subscribed anymore, so I hit the button and subscribe again. lol

      3. Thatโ€™s a sad thing actually. When we are used to reading certain peopleโ€™s blog, itโ€™s a pattern thatโ€™s breaking right. One more thing, my todayโ€™s prompt answer almost had the same title, Mobile phones, cars and instead of boots, I had written Kajal( the one we apply to our eyes). But somehow didnโ€™t feel like completing the page. So I just left it in the draft. The question is not interesting either

      4. Some of the prompts have been dry lately, to say the least. I looked at the next few upcoming and may ignore them myself. We’ll see.

        And yes, ti is frustrating to have to go back and search for someone you had already subscribed to because WP knocked you off their list for some unknown reason. It’s happened to others as well, so it is not just me.
