being outside in the summer without being bitten by mosquitos (thankful for the lack of humidity and the elevation)

ice in drinks, which we haven't had for a while because the ice maker in our last fridge tasted bad, but which i love and which i feel helps me eat less by indulging my oral fixation (and yes chewing ice is bad for your teeth but what if that's offset by being good for my weight)
still eating way too much, because it is vacation and it makes my mom happy to feed us good things
hot showers
