- my friend’s clean apartment.
- having the keys to my friend’s clean apartment while she’s away,
- being firmly planted onto my friend’s couch with many blankets and a warm laptop.
- my friend’s impulsive purchase of a flat screen tv oh so many months ago because it means that on this quiet Sunday, I can watch television.
