I’m so ridiculously happy that spring is finally here! And at the same time, so sad that I need to shut the blinds and pretend the nice weather isn’t there (even though it is) just to keep my eyeballs from getting blinded and get any work done.

MacBook Air and external display show my wallpaper: a sun-dappled garden path from Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty. I’m doing a cameo too—a tiny webcam pop-up of me taking a selfie while throwing a peace sign.
