fox | unsurprisingly, my mood improves as my cold recedes.

Yesterday I was still a little fragile from the lingering head cold and the two straight days of migraine fun time. Today I am (so far) much cheerier, for the following reasons (this is not an exhaustive list):

my Old Navy stuff arrived last night, and even though I think I'm going to return some of it, I'm still always happy to get packages
it will be my birthday soon
I think I'm pretty well on top of things at work, to the extent that there is a top of the things and a person can be on it; we're definitely going to be screwed soon, but it's not because of me nor is it anything I am capable of fixing, so I'll be happy with the fact that I'm doing what I can
even though I missed rehearsal last week, I still did well last night, because hi, musicianship, and it always pleases me to feel like I'm singing well (and section-leader- and director-type people might notice)
I know this isn't The Filter Where I Talk About That, but I've lost sixteen pounds (and counting) in the past about five weeks, hurrah
the lotion I used today is the same stuff I was using this time last year, so the scent reminds me of Oxford, and in good ways

I'm a little alarmed by the cheeriness, because I am customarily not one of those perky people, but today I am in good spirits. We'll see if I can't hang on to that even through the staff meeting (full staff meeting = ugh) this afternoon.
