Grazing Rites

Something was off this morning, I couldn’t quite place it. Something was different. Had I forgotten something important? I didn’t feel sick or anything. In fact I felt pretty well rested. That was probably it, I barely slept the night before last so it was just a good night’s rest.

Then I found myself smiling on the way to work for no reason. Someone was playing music on the bus too loud and I didn’t mind. Someone else bumped into me and I didn’t mind. A guy had a Tablet PC, a technology I’ve never really supported but rather than ponder the evolutionary backstep that represented I found myself rethinking my stance on the subject - maybe I had been too harsh, too quick to judge the technology without giving it a fair chance.

What the hell was wrong with me?

Was it my recent raise? But I wasn’t thinking about that. No, something else was afoot.

Was it the weather? Couldn’t be, it was overcast.

I figure it’s a removal of major sources of stress (daycare cost and workability, performance appraisal, raise) as well as a decline in Seasonal Affective Disorder.
