Firefly as the nine delights
Walking around: Malcolm Reynolds. He always likes to keep moving.
Fellowship: Inara Serra. You may think “Why not coitus, that’s obviously her,” but she is definitely one who takes delight in fellowship.
Deliciousness: Jayne Cobb. The easiest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but the easiest way to his pants is just to ask.
transcendence: Sheppherd Book. A man of the Lord.
goofing: Wash (Hoban Washburne). He’s just a silly guy!
amelioration: Simon Tam. He puts in so much effort to help people improve
coitus: Kaylee (Kaywinnet Lee Frye), she just wants smth twixt her nethers.
enthrallment: Zoey Washburne. She is loyal & focused. She is on her track.
wildcard: River Tam. She IS the wildcard!

apparently this tweet stopped giving OP delight but i wanted to be able to save and share it. adhd means making shitty daily guidelines to manage yourself and then failing to follow them all the time, this one looks better than most i've used

A week of the Nine Delights:
Experiencing at least 3 of the 9 delights per day.
Monday: 11/7
Enthralment! I spent like an hour or so writing fanfic and it was fun and enjoyable
Deliciousness! I had the Mediterranean food place on campus for lunch and it was good! I even tried falafel for the first time and it was interesting but nonetheless delicious.
walkin around! i walked from the library back to the dorms and on my walk saw people using a vacuum type thing to pick up leaves. it was kind of smart and cool and something i would never have thought of
Tuesday: 11/8
Amelioration! it wasn’t super enjoyable but i did work on my betterment of my math skills by my stats homework. It was kind of hard and confusing but not too difficult.
Wildcard! I got all the assignments that are due by the end of the week done this morning and that felt really nice to check things off the list. And since I didn’t have anything to do this afternoon i got to play the sims for a little bit which is always a plus
Fellowship! Met some new people!!
Wednesday: 11/9
Amelioration! I got myself out of bed and got to my chem lecture at 7:45 even though I didn’t want to and got better at my chem knowledge so sick!
Deliciousness! I tried something new and VERY american: crab Rangoon pizza. And interestingly enough it was delicious?
Wildcard! Music! I got to spend like an hour today reading and also listening to music and it was great. I love being able to spend time with earbuds in playing music as it makes everything feel much more relaxing and not as much. Plus it’s always fun to be able to find pockets of calm in your day for sure.
Walking around! Today was one of the last nice days in a while and I got about 3 miles in of just walking around
Thursday: 11/10
Fellowship! My learning community went to the tearoom today and we had a good ol time with laughter and whatnot.
Deliciousness! I had some focaccia bread today at the tearoom and it was really good. I also had lasagna and I was suprised that I liked it because I HATE lasagna. (It’s a texture thing. I don’t like cottage cheese.) maybe they used ricotta or something idk
Goofing! Seeing people in shorts and a short sleeve shirt being cold because it was like 70°(21C) and humid at like 8am but within the span of a few hours it wasn’t humid, got windy and dropped over 20 degrees and is now 47°(8.3C) but feels like 35°(1.6C) and it’s only getting colder.
Friday: 11/11
Goofing! laughing in class because the professor asked what the caloric content of reduced fat nilla wafers was if it says 60% reduced fat and the regular one has 140 calories and she showed the front of the box where it says 120 calories right on it.
Wildcard! First snow of the year! Not anything more than a flurry
Deliciousness! This Oreo cake in the dining center.
Saturday: 11/12
Transcendence! I felt really on top of everything this morning and did some things that I just haven’t been able to do all semester (washing sheets deep cleaning under desk etc)
Wildcard! We got the first snowfall of the year!
Antifellowship(?)! I spent like all day alone and it was great and exactly what I needed.
Sunday: 11/13
Enthralment! I Heard a new song today that made me sit there jawdropped in awe over its musicality. Please listen to it if you have 12 minutes it’s so beautiful. I cried.
Wildcard! I got a lot of reading done and I finished both the bands of mourning and howls moving castle and
Goofing! Allomancer Jak and the pits of Eltania is the funniest cosmere story I’ve read (no debating on this)
Reflection:
So all in all I feel that finding at least three of the 9 delights in my day helped make me feel more motivated in doing things and by the end of the week I felt more relaxed and less stressed about the week to come. Most daily lifestyle things are about strengthening your body it seems but this is great for your mind. Even on the days when I felt like shit physically (cramps yay) my focus and drive to get things done was going good, which is interesting because normally my focus is all outta wack during those days as my adhd meds don’t help regulate as well. I’ll definitely continue to stick with finding the 9 delights of the days. However I might change them slightly to fit me more. Like instead of coitus maybe musicality as that’s something that’s more delightful and something I’d see in my day much more than some fuckin.

I gotta say watching my kiddo write letters to tell her best friend a knock knock joke that takes 3 weeks to delivered and to share her fave stickers really makes me understand how much I hate one day delivery and how fast everything is
I think that's its about, the joy of sitting on a joke for WEEKS and to give pressed flowers in the summer and stickers and crafts in the winter. There's no way to replicate it
