Fighting what I think is just seasonal depression, lack of sunlight, the overwhelming feeling of what an asshole I am. Trying to be less of an asshole, and to be more grateful.

1. Coffee.

2. my office, which is almost done. I have a place to write again, and soon it will be an attractive, warm place to write again, with things that I love on the walls and trim around the windows to keep the cold out.

4. A job that keeps me busy, too busy to think. See above.

5. bookstores. libraries. music, art, words. 2 months ago
