What's the seemingly small thing that actually affects you in a big way?

I find that now that I spend 40 hours a week in one particular location (my office building), seemingly small details become a surprisingly large part of my life and affect me more.
My example is that my seat within the office is about to be moved much closer to a window, and I’m unreasonably excited about it. I don’t get enough sun this time of year!!

I’d be happy about that too. I moved offices to one that’s more square in shape but, and you will get this, it has a sliver of a view of the outside! I work in an environmentally controlled building (when I’m not working from home) and some offices only have a view of the corridor. With this one, I can see trees and the sky! And yes, some small things really do affect me in a big way.
I’m trying to think of other examples. Great news on the window seat.
The way the light shines through my kitchen windows and floods it in the afternoon. Makes me so happy to be home. Also, the two hours midday when my reading chair in the den is suffused with light.
I need a fan when I sleep, regardless of the weather. Sometimes I don’t need the wind at all, but I still need the fan to sleep well. I just want the sound it makes, that’s a real natural sleep sustance.
Waking up in the morning, looking at the clock and realizing I still have 15 minutes until I have to get up.
Having fruit for breakfast helps.
It really hurts my feelings when people don’t respond to my texts or snapchats. I know that’s juvenile as all hell but I always respond when people try and communicate with me in some way via those means.
I like it that no matter what pluperfect hell is going on outside, the furry-faced kids are glad to see you home.
Or they could just be hungry and you’ve got thumbs to open the food…
Oh well, hell. That’s just fine!
I’ll keep thinking…
FINGERNAILS! They need to be short. When they are not, I feel miserable. All. Day. It’s a feeling similar to motion sickness – like nothing will ever be right with the world again.
Oh I can’t even express what a problem fingernails are for me too. Actually for me it’s more about the skin around my fingers. I pick at it constantly. Then the little imperfections I created by picking just make me want to pick more. It’s endless.
