Hungover (but not drinkswise)

I feel really crap today. I think it's a combination of hay fever, lack of sleep and depression. Hay fever, because it's mid-March and the tree pollen is roaring around like an invading Roman force; lack of sleep, because our dear little Rian seems to be stuck in a period of middle-of-the-night unsettlement; and depression, because it's too cold to be Spring, and because I reached the end of 'Arcane'.
And yet... to allow myself to contradict myself...
Tree pollen can be counteracted by cetirize hydrocholoride, and is also a sign that we are heading into better weather; Rian is improving, and it's amazing that I get to cuddle him every night and help him through his distress; and it turns out that there is an 'Arcane' season two, so I have another 9 episodes to indulge in whenever I see fit!
So I shall drink another hot drink to soothe my sore throat, I shall make my colleagues a drink too so I am being a decent workmate, I shall get on with my tasks without distracting myself with cardistry, I shall stop feeling sorry for myself and look forward to an evening at home, and I shall see what is good in the world around me instead of thinking about my physical discomforts.
