According to a psychologist, formerly of Cardiff University, today is the most depressing day of the year. You’ve probably heard about this before. He quantified factors (like the shitty weather, breaking resolutions, and post-christmas debt) and stuck them into an equation to figure out when things are at their worst. According to his equation, which I’m not going to bother looking at right now, today is the most depressing day of the year. I don’t know. I had an OK day. It started off a bit rough, and I’m a bit stressed out with the upcoming move and all, but I’m doing ok. Relatively speaking, anyhow. Maybe it was because I spent most of the holidays depressed and ticked off at people. Maybe it’s because I’ve had a lot of good news lately. Or maybe it’s because this whole “day” thing is a load of crap and was part of a campaign to sell mid-winter vacations. I don’t know. Things could always be worse, I know that much.
Anyhow, for today’s meme, I’m just sharing things that make me HAPPY.
- Purging – that is, throwing out the masses of crap I’ve accumulated over the past 4 years in this apartment.
- Knowing I have letters coming to me in the mail and other letters finding their way to other people.
- Sparks. I can’t stop listening to Sparks. Intervention time?
- Having my teeth cleaned (not even whitened) at the dentist today and actually seeing the difference. Stains removed!
- Getting voicemails from my brother describing how his dog accidentally shat on his own frisbee.
- Guitar Toolkit app for iPhone. It’s amazing. It’s not just for guitar… it has chords and tuning and junk for ukes and banjos and bases and all kinds of stuff…
- Uhm…. knowing I have a job for at least the next 6 months, and that my days of hours-long commutes are coming to an end.
What’s making you guys happy?
