I am feeling pretty gloomy.
I have been putting a pinch of cayenne pepper in my tea in the afternoons. I like spicy things, and red pepper in tea (in tiny amounts) can be good.
I sat and looked at the dregs of my tea, and the little red flakes of cayenne floating there. It looks like constellation of stars. The world is interesting.
