It's a gorgeous pre-spring day here and although I'm not able to spend it outdoors, I do get to spend it at home which is the next best thing. I've opened most of the windows in the house and so there's fresh air breezing through in chilly but sunny drafts and the cats are finding warm spots of sunshine rays in which to bask and I'm playing the new Iron & Wine CD and doing laundry and enjoying the way the dryer smells as it mixes with the early spring February air and I'm also procrastinating on various school projects but slowly I am getting things done and mostly I am just glad to be here in my own space, getting over the bronchitis and enjoying the pretty weather no matter how false such moments of seasonal delight may ultimately prove to be.
