Thursday Thirteen #12 - 13 things I can’t live without

Visit the Thursday Thirteen site


1. Alone time
Today has been meeting after boring meeting and I’m exhausted. Why? Because I haven’t had time to myself.


2. Nurofen
I absolutely depend on these things, for 2 days every 25 – 26 days…enough said


3. Water
I drink at least 2L every day and it is definitely my drink of choice


4. My car
I sometimes think back on the time in my life when I used to take public transport to work. I don’t know how I ever waited around for buses because I’m way too impatient now.


5. my computer
Many a happy hour has been spent blogging, reading blogs, developing course content, writing, etc, etc.


6. the internet, blogging, etc.
You know what it’s like – addictive!


7. Google reader
Since I discovered this two weeks ago, I can’t believe how much time I’ve saved


8. My memory stick
What did we do before memory sticks? I can take stuff from home, bring them to work to work on, take them back home without leaving multiple copies on both computers and having to save carefully in case I use the wrong document.


9. My lipstick
I can do without any other make-up but not my lipstick!


10. Books
I am absolutely no fun if I don’t have books around. I read fiction, non-fiction, ebooks, real books, anything. Something you didn’t know about me – I’m a bit weird and I set a monthly reading goal (7 – 5 fiction and 2 non-fiction).


11. Organising time
When I’m overwhelmed or a bit stressed, I find that organising a drawer or area in my home (or on computer) calms me down. I think it’s because I can restore some order to at least some part of my life.


12. My husband
He is my rock, my anchor in any storm, my support, my confidante, my best friend and the father of future babies!


13. God
Without whom I would be a wreck, probably been involved in many car accidents due to my fast driving, and definitely would have no peace.
