Five things for the sixth day

[delphipsmith]

Day 1 - Ten random facts about yourself
Day 2 - Nine things you do everyday
Day 3 - Eight things that annoy you
Day 4 - Seven fears/phobias
Day 5 - Six songs that you’re addicted to
Day 6 - Five things you can’t live without
Day 7 - Four memories you won’t forget
Day 8 - Three words you can’t go a day without
Day 9 - Two things you wish you could do
Day 10 - One person you can trust

"Can't live without" is pretty strong. I'm not sure there's anything I truly couldn't manage to live without, other than Maslow's basics: air, water, food, clothing and shelter. So assuming this actually means "Things without which my life would be unbearably dreary, featureless and grim," I shall go with these:

1) Family
2) Reading and writing (sorry, can't separate these two)
3) Music (if I haven't got any, I'll make some)
4) Cats (for companionship, they cannot be beat)
5) Wine or tea (I'm torn on this one, they're so mood-dependent)

Wine - a glass a day is healthy - that's what the doctors say. So I tell myself two glasses are twice as healthy!

Indeed :)

So with you on all of these.
A good book + a glass of wine + a snuggly cat = perfection

Occasionally one needs to add a bowl of popcorn, but yes, by and large those three will get me through just about anything :)

A lovely list. You're so right about wine/tea being mood dependent.

Every so often I get into an odd mood where I want both equally. It usually involves Jane Austen. Or Captain Picard fantasies ;)

Yay for kitty companions and love of others.
