I have a lap cat so I get lots of cat-in-lap time 🐱

    I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
    We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm

    It’s just all so much better than the old office-based life

    I have 2 lap cats who will fight each other over who gets to sit on my lap.

    And I live in a house from which my lap cats and I can take a walk into the woods and onto a beautiful apple orchard on a private path without meeting anyone else. But it’s also within 10 minutes bicycling distance to the center of a beautiful historic city, which is an international tourist attraction (Heidelberg).
    I pay 500€ rent per month for the house, an acre of land, a 3-storey barn, a shed that fits 10 bicycles and my workshop, and a small log cabin.

    About once every 3-4 months I take a 4hr hot bath with, phone in a waterproof sandwich-bag, bluetooth speakers, tunes, Epsom salts, and reading material.

    It’s excellent self-care. (No, the water doesn’t go cold, I let out half the water and top it up with more hot, when needed).

    Highly recommended.

      Washing my hands, I use a $1 bottle of dollar store soap, feels pretty luxurious (I’m a broke university student and my codormatory had no soap before I bought it don’t judge).

    I have a lot of kids and I work hard at being a good dad so I get a lot of hugs and occasional unprompted “love you”. That is the truest luxury to me.

      Oh man, as a new-ish parent I’m starting to get those sudden out of the blue hugs and cuddles and they’re amazing. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me that my kid would love me but it’s like an instant shot of dopamine every time.
