Changed it all.

Unambiguously, we've hit springtime. Even the piles of snow left over from winter will be gone from the Garden by next week - and it's some pretty resilient snow in there. But there are bees out on the flowers, and flowers coming up out of the dirt, and hey, it's the first day of spring. Time to start leaving the window open at night.

(An intense piece of nightmare fuel went around Tumblr earlier this week, and I won't provide a link out of common courtesy. Rather, I'll say living in New York is half the best defense against that sort of thing, because I can't think of anything that can get past everything else around here and still be strong enough to manage to do me harm. The other half is owning teddy bears, and being able to say my room is guarded by bears. Nothing's getting past the bears.)

I very much wanted to post on Tuesday, after a therapy session which had me crying over frustration over the ongoing difficulties with unemployment and networking. Especially networking. It's all the worse when I don't know how much to do, or when, and I'm so used to getting nothing back - I know people are out there on LinkedIn and such, but never hearing anything from anyone leads me to stay away from the whole business as a measure of self-protection. Which I need to get out of the habit of doing. As soon as I see some evidence it's worthwhile.
