I am happy for the following reasons:

-My immediate family all seem to be in good moods today, when talking on the phone. I don't know why, but it's nice.

-My roommate is reallllly cute.

-Kate (above) is recovering and is starting to trust people again, according to the Humane Society.

Tomorrow starts February. That is not a reason I'm extraordinarly happy, but I thought it would mention it so that none of you fall prey to February Fools jokes.
