Ten Nice Fluffy Happy Things to Lighten the Blog Mood Which Seems a Little Negative Lately.

1. Rabbit. Rabbit is a dog that I saw on the RSPCA Adopt-a-dog website and really loved. He is a Jack Russell kind of a guy and is sort of goofy looking. His photo says of him that someone asked him to smile and he let his teeth show in a doggy interpretation of a smile that looks, frankly, odd. I am torturing myself by looking now because it's is at least nine weeks before I can go and get a doggy. I went onto the site to show someone his gorgeous little face and he has been adopted. Now, if things were not nice, fluffy and happy before, they certainly are now. I have just gone on now again and Ralph, and the brown Lab and the funny fluffy thing are all adopted too. Nicer, Fluffier, Happier. And the eight year old dog who broke my heart because everyone wants a puppy—adopted! Nicest, Fluffiest, Happiest.
2. Woolen Underlay. It is coincidence that many of the positive things in my life at the moment are actually fluffy. My dear friend V—— very sweetly left a woolen underlay on the doorstep for me. I am usually excited to go to bed. Tonight I am more so, especially with the mercury currently at six degrees. I cannot wait to lie on that exquisite fluffiness and warmth.
3. Fluffy feedback. There is a propensity to assume fluffy feedback may mean that it is vague and not really helpful—like your teacher deliberated between telling you what she really thought or blowing you off and chose the latter. I am, however, going to believe, head in the clouds, that it is that they all love me and think I am brilliant. It doesn't matter if I am wrong because: (1) I won't know any better until I suddenly start failing everything later, like my thesis, and (2) I'll feel too happy to contemplate wrongness.
4. It’s only three odd weeks away ‘til my holiday. Holidays are the ultimate in fluffy.
