Today’s theme from That Artsy Reader Girl is a little less bookish than some! This time we’re talking about “Things That Make Up My Perfect Day”, which is a fun prompt.

1. Plenty of time to read! I’m sure variations on this will be common answers among this crowd, but it’s nonetheless true for me. If I can carve out at least an hour overall for reading, that’s ideal, though I haven’t been super good at meeting that recently.
2. New books. It’s not the be-all and end-all, but I can’t help but enjoy having a good stack of new books to acquaint myself with!
3. Time with my rabbits. I work in the same room with them which is nice — they get to snoopervise me, I get to watch their antics. And sometimes pick them up for a cuddle.
4. A bubble bath with a book. I couldn’t do this in the summer, the weather was just way too warm and humid, but now we’re in the thick of autumn it’s a perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. The book part is a necessity, though; I like a long soak with a book to keep my brain busy, and no distractions from social media, text messages, etc.
5. Wearing something cute/nerdy. My mood fluctuates, and I don’t always feel like leaning into femme… but I love my dinosaur and kitty dresses from Popsy, my nerdy t-shirts like my Scum Villain “OOC! OOC! OOC!” shirt, my “cultural awareness” petri dish shirt, etc.
6. Gaming time. Which game I might be logging into fluctuates a bit — at the moment I’ve not been spending a lot of time in FFXIV, for example, but I have been chugging along with Dressmaker and some puzzle games.
7. Crochet time. I only recently started being able to find time for crochet again, but it’s been a fairly constant companion in the last three months, which is nice.
8. Cheese in dinner. I mean, I don’t have to have cheese, but I do love it. Chorizo works, too.
9. Being in Wales. This isn’t likely in the very near future, but I prefer to be home in Wales. And who knows, maybe soon, if my parents move as planned.
10. Getting a chance to go cycling. I wouldn’t want to do this every day, because it’s time-consuming to get kitted up and go (though less if I’m just riding for fun and don’t need to take my panniers) and right now I get pretty tired. But it’s so good to be cycling again after a year of being unable to thanks to my wrist injury!

I’m sure I could think up some other factors, but these sound like a pretty good time to me!
