A Short List of Excellent Sensations

 because I need to think about some good shit for a bit:

• freshly buzzed hair
• satin stitching in embroidery
• open 5ths
• velvet
• fingerpicking
• the novelty silicone dish scrubber that has never made it into the kitchen because i stole it for petting purposes
• tea tree shampoo
• getting knocked around, but like in a friendly sparring way
• the dog when he's bathed and also freshly shaved
• 100% cotton yarn, knitted
• corsets
• new hand wraps
• fine-toothed wooden combs
• completed sashiko mending
• large amounts of cotton gauze fabric

Just for a moment.
