Sunshine
The sunshine has been making me feel better. It's nice to sit at my desk with the rays beating down on me through the window and making me all warm. I can close my eyes and pretend I'm in Hawaii or some other beautiful place, on the beach, basking in the sun ( Read more... ) -

Foul mood
I woke up this morning in a particularly bad mood. I dreamed about my dad for the first time since he died. It jarred me and I'm trying to figure out why ( Read more... )
