Reminiscing on my Facebook this morning got me into the mood to write. I mentioned on my Twitter that I was feeling crappy. I’m feeling a little less shit than I was earlier. I’ve eaten rice, been startled (again) in the mirror because I’m not used to having blonde hair and have had a cat throw up on me.
