That's More Like It

Okay, now I'm really really excited. With no melancholy. I think my mood started to lift when I realized almost half of what I was packing was pants removal related.

And also, while I'm about this happiness business, I love:

• eating tasty beet risotto with house friends
• bike rides for vegetables, even when cars honk
• orange vegetables
• being pleased, but not too pleased, upon running into my ex
• traces of campfire on my pillow
• knitting weather
• Winter Gloves

More from Chicago, I'm sure.
