blah-g

The brilliance of fall has been replaced by a desolate wasteland of barren, naked trees, dead grass, and a cold grey sky. Everything is the same color right now; even the pigeons blend in with their background. I almost hit a pigeon on the way to school today; at least, I think it was a pigeon. It could have been an albatross, for how big it seemed - suddenly the dang thing was right in front of me, flapping frantically to get out of the way. Thankfully, I managed not to spill my coffee OR go into a ditch. Alas, perhaps my car, too, blended in too well with the gray background, and he didn't see me, either.

But, thankfully, I have tomorrow off. I shall bake cookies and have a completely lazy day. In blah weather like this, that's what you're supposed to do; stay inside the warm and toasty house and bake, read, or some other self indulgence. Anyway, according to my friend Jen, baking cookies is helpful when one is in a bad mood, and so, according to that principal, I no doubt should have cooked them yesterday (as I've been struck with a bad case of self-pity and moodiness for most of the week). Gee, could you tell? :P

However, one of my friends gave me a healthy (and liberal) does of common sense, and I'm much better for it. And bad mood or not, cookies are always good. Especially chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven. :)
