I Have Five Things That Are Essential In My Life

1. Pets. I just need animal companions. I've had a pet or pets since I was born, and I just can't live without at least one. They are the only things I can unabashedly pour all of my love and devotion into without fear of being rejected or betrayed.

2. Music. It balances me, soothes me, energizes me, inspires me. Essential for my emotional well-being.

3. A comfortable mattress. I have chronic pain, my body is literally always in pain. So just any old mattress will not do. I need the most firm one you have, with the most plush pillowtop mattress cover you can find, and always my heated mattress pad for soothing my achey muscles.

4. Filtered drinking water. I drink water literally all day long, you will never see me without it.

5. Heartburn and allergy medicines. I have to take both every single day or I am a mess, thanks to being allergic to the entire planet and also having an ulcer.

Nice. I'll always have a dog in my life. Music is a huge part of my life. I also have to have a soft mattress because my back is so screwed up. I wish I could afford one of those purple mattresses. I don't drink nearly as much water as I should. But I do have to have at least one sweet tea a day. I cured my heartburn by drinking a little bit of apple cider vinegar. If you drink just a little that will cure your acid reflux and ulcer.
