Today, I am posting for the usual reason I post on 26 December.

When I was 8 years old, I came downstairs on the day after Christmas to find a tiny, adorable baby seahorse curled up asleep on the living room couch.

This morning, I rolled out of bed, went to go get my every-other-weekly pedicure (because my feet get nasty without much provocation and I'd rather pay someone for them than do it myself), and found that it was much colder in the house than outside.
