I just got home, this morning I went to work, however, my schedule got rearranged, so I just woke up early for nothing. Instead, I made some coffee there so I could have some when I went in later. I didn't wait for it to finish brewing though, I just left after setting it on the hot plate. For now, I am drinking black tea at home, later I will have the coffee, also black. Today is the first day of spring, yesterday it was thirty one degrees at noon. Today it's warm, I haven't checked the temperature yet, but I can't wear two layers indoors; It got warm, fast. The cats are enjoying it, and I do, too, because when I pet them it feels like warm laundry.

I sat next to the fireplace looking at the tea I spilled, the sunlight was illuminating its blobs. The cats came over to sniff it, then left. I was going to clean it but someone handed me tissues to soak it up. It was interesting to watch though, so I reluctantly cleaned up most of it except for a little blob that I could continue to stare at. For awhile I moved my head to watch the light hit it at different angles; I did this until it evaporated.

In contrast to many of the depressing posts in the last bread, I thought I could write something in the hopes of cheering someone up. My day has been decent, I am tired and a little bit sick, just a runny nose and a sore throat. I have been writing all day, and just ordered a new fountain pen off of Amazon. Previously I challenged myself to use all my ink cartridges before investing a hefty amount of money in a new pen and ink. While I write I listen to trance music, mostly Chicane and Tiesto.
My week has been meh, I hand wrote a letter to a friend, giving him an ultimatum about a conflict we've been having, I hope he receives it well. Aside from this, the edification I receive on a daily basis from close friends, and family has made me altogether happier. I was planning on going to my GF's church today, but I didn't want to get anyone there sick.
My month has been amazing, the county fair was a couple weeks ago, petting the sheep was comforting. My favorite breed are the Cotswolds, they weren't skittish like the other sheep, and almost behaved like cats. They would push their head into your hand, and sway gently when you scratch them; very soft wool as well. There were a lot of birthdays in the last few weeks, I enjoyed shopping with my GF, she gave me good recommendations for her family, and vice versa.
I hope everyone in this thread becomes a little less pessimistic. Be a realist, view the glass at half capacity, then strive for optimism.
