being busy is only part of the issue.

things that are currently making me happy:
*warblers have again been sighted at Montrose Point. For the uninitiated, this means that the spring migration has officially begun.
*making an upside down heart with my thumbs and forefingers
*enamelled copper jewelry
*i'm going to Arizona to see Libby in a couple weeks and we're going to plan her wedding and look at birds in the desert--finally i get to do that.
*my new sweatshirt hoodie i bought for eight bucks at the Brown Elephant(even though it says "Crunch" in that fake Asian-looking chop suey font on the back in electric green)
*time for contemplation in the morning
*someone else has been cleaning the cat litter lately
*closing my eyes and seeing clear swimmy things
*the warmish weather
*eating french fries two days in a row and chocolate pudding at lunchtime
*the thought that i have only read the tiniest fraction of the good books that there are (see the Bookslut link on the sidebar if you don't believe me).
