Things that instantly make me feel better:

Darling twin signing on.
The heaters tinging as they warm up.
Nostalgia reaching out with one paw for a high-five.
Going out to feed the feral colony and standing there on the back porch with birds flocking all around me, fluttering through the overgrown back yard, not even noticing me as they dance around the feeder.
Buying strange things at the farmer's market and cooking them while dancing and singing.
Racing the cat around the house until we both collapse panting.
Putting two and two together and forever changing my views on a character.

Related to the last point: I think Jazz is a historian. I will be forever confused when reading stories in which this is not the case, i.e. all of them.

EDIT:
Ally: I have two cats on my bed
L: yessssssssssss
L: give them love from me
Ally: fuck yes
Ally: in response to the love I have given them, they are cleaning themselves.
L: GLORIOUS. My love-gift has been accepted by the holy felines.
Ally: in their way, yes!
L: My crops will be blessed this year.

... Tell me more about this Jazz theory!

I was just thinking - what about hip-hop/rap/other genres I can't name attracted Jazz, out of all the music and culture Earth has to offer? Those are musics with a strong sense of history. Even now, rap is by and about an oppressed people, and its roots are from the songs sung by slaves in the Americas. It has a sense of history about it. I personally don't know music in other languages well enough to point to other examples of modern music with such deep roots, but I think he'd like that as well.

idk my brain said historian and I didn't argue XD
