I think I'm getting sick. If the two days of headache and the general pain weren't a giveaway, the sore throat this morning might have been a tip-off. The cold isn't really helping anything, nor is the massive pile of work I find myself drowning under recently. Not being able to think does not make any of this easier to deal with, and as a result, I find myself making the best of it regardless.
Zebrafish help. To explain the title of this post, I have to explain something I ran across a couple of days ago about zebrafish. In any case, apparently they can be depressed, or at least exhibit symptoms of depression. And people (or animals, so it would appear) that are depressed make me want to give them hugs and make them feel better.
So I have been going around for the past two days, talking about wanting to hug zebrafish, because just about any mention of fish or animals or depression makes me think of zebrafish, and every time I think of zebrafish, I want to hug them! As a result, I have had people offer to be replacements for zebrafish (although hopefully not depressed) and thoroughly available for hugs.
Perhaps it has been an entirely unproductive day or mostly lost in a fog of headache and pain and general fatigue. All the same, it has been a fun day. One spent full of conversations concerning zebrafish and hugs. It has been nice. And I don't seem to have very many such simple, sweet days. But today was rather one of them. It was a lovely change, and I'm glad it happened as it did.
Thank you to all who have made the day so enjoyable and I hope that the future is no less wonderful for all.
