I am in an absurdly good mood right now. I actually a) accomplished something worthwhile at work, b) stood in a patch of sunshine that was NOT reflected off another building for a few minutes while at lunch, c) am in a climate-controlled office that is neither baking nor freezing me, d) have been listening to Happy Hardcore Chapter Six all day long on continuous repeat, tapping my feet and bopping my head to the unrealistically fast beat, and e) am wearing my dress shirt with the occasional silver metallic threads.
a+b+c+d+e combine to make me one happy little thunderer.
I forget, sometimes, just how important sunshine is to me. Every year I react with surprise that immediately after we all set our clocks back, I start falling victim to bouts of foul temper, glowering and glaring at anything that crosses my path. These symptoms mysteriously vanish as soon as we "spring forward" again -- although unfortunately, that seems to be a long way off. Remind me to spend more time standing in sunny spots, would you?
