This too shall pass

[todayiamadaisy]

I've had a fit of the glooms over the last couple of weeks, feeling like I'm carrying a leaden weight about with me. I can't even properly enjoy wallowing; my mother keeps telling me about people with, you know, actual problems. Ah well, it usually only lasts a few weeks, so I'll shake it off soon.

In the meantime, the local paper has printed its annual list of the top baby names for the region, and you know what? It's mostly comprised of names! Actual, proper names. Amazing.
