It's warming right up, and people seem cheerful. Of course, so far today, I've only been to the Buddhist Temple, where people generally quite cheerful, if not actually radiant, and Whole Foods, where I only spoke to the cashier, but she asserted she feels happier every degree it warms. Later I am going to a fund raiser/party, which will severely test this theory. I know the dogs are upbeat, because instead of huddling in the kitchen they followed me out back and just now opened the door to my studio, deciding, without my input, that I needed fresh air. They are very big on fresh air.
Part of my euphoria is that my kitchen is back together, and yesterday I bought two small cutting boards to celebrate and today I plunked daffodils in a vase on the table. I was able to read both newspapers without a worker interrupting. I lingered over tea. It was positively liberating. I'm already dying to have people over for dinner, and my interest in cooking has returned.
My husband, however, is gloomy over a certain football game, though it's only half-time. I don't think he's noticed the weather yet.
