jinian | sort of happiness

I'm not very good at being mindful of happy moments when I'm feeling sad and scared, but I managed to take care of myself some today. It was warm enough to sit outside for a while in the middle of the day, so on my way home from the lab I walked a different way than usual and went to the ridiculous Waterway 15. There is one nice thing about its dippy overwroughtness, which is the big, fancy, curved bench, so I got lots of lake-reflected sun in my eyeballs to help the SAD while I read pulp SF stories. And I learned that a boat can pull up and take on passengers there, assuming the passengers are willing to climb through bushes and up walls.

Also I went past the new dorms, and I still like them and the way their landscaping is all edible plants with some actual farm in there.
