1. Grocery shopping. Walking through the aisles with the intention of buying more than soda and junk food is quite delightful. In addition to the pasta/rice staples, I have started adding other cooking essentials like spices! Whether or not I use them is a different matter.
2. Doing dishes. A messy sink is so ugly, especially when my room is small. A little clutter makes the very small kitchen surface look gross. So whenever the dishes go back on the shelf, it clears my sink and my mind.
3. Spraying all-purpose cleaner. Nothing is more satisfying than wiping a dirty surface with a paper towel and watching the dust particles disappear forever.
4. Filtering water. I bought a water filter because I heard that the water in the UK was questionable. Seriously, one of my best purchases ever. Filtered water is to me like ambrosia nectar was to the Greek gods. I am well hydrated and enjoying every sip.
5. Running to the 24 hour store. Unfortunately, I suffer from an addiction to chocolate. I try not to keep it in the room, but every once in a while, I hit an intense sugar low that can only be remedied by a three block walk to the local 24 hour store run by a nice group of Indian guys. They must think I am crazy because the only things I have bought from them are various kinds of Cadbury chocolate, rice crackers, and Hob Nobs (a delicious semi-healthy pack of British granola cookies). The only way I can justify this trip is by taking the four flights of stairs both directions. And the chocolate here is SO GOOD.
