Mixed Feelings
I woke up today and the sun was shining and I felt rested and happy.
And then I heard the cat trying to break something doing that annoying thing he does first thing in the morning when it's breakfast time and would you get out of bed and feed me Please?
I had dreams about happiness, images of happiness floating through my head. Peace and tranquility seemed within my reach.
And then while compressing the French press I glurped coffee and grounds all over the kitchen counter and under the cookbooks and into the knifeblock.
The sun was shining strong through the blinds in the bedroom and I realized it's April and the daffodils started blooming yesterday and that means the weather's changing.
And then I looked at the thermometer and it appears to be stuck at 34.9°F.
And suddenly my headache (the one I've had for about three days now) is back and my attitude has soured and I really, really hope the walk to campus will improve my attitude or I may just walk right past my office, head south and keep going.
