I usually keep the blinds closed on the window that’s directly in front of where I sit at my desk. The window beside me offers plenty of light and a better view, so I don’t think about the other window. However, the painting propped on that window is one Timmy painted and gave me years ago. These days, I like to raise the blinds so I can feel like a TimmyCreature is giving me a stare that means, “Get back to work.”
I know this is late, but if you want one of 14,000 things to be happy about:
please give me a page number from 1 to 612 and another number between 1 and 30, and I’ll tell you what the happy book says.
I was afraid you’d retired this.

Also, could I ask, what is the drawing or painting above your blue dog?
Hump Day Happy lives on; I was just lazy or thought it was my birthday or something last week.
“a baby grand piano in the front parlor”
The illustration you’re asking about is one I tore from a Rolling Stone magazine years ago. It’s by American artist C.F. Payne, an illustrator and caricaturist whose work has appeared on and in many magazines as well as children’s books.
This particular drawing, “Mr. Guthrie’s Homeroom,” appealed to me because–as I’ve said before in my LJ–I’m most drawn to the music of singer/songwriters. Folk hero and songwriter Woody Guthrie, as the teacher, stands in the back of a classroom while student Bob Dylan tries to cover his notebook, which Bruce Springsteen, sitting in the desk next to him, is trying to read. Meanwhile, John Mellencamp is attempting to peek over Bruce’s shoulder.

Now that was SO specific, that I had to see if I could find any. This is the closest I could find:
That WAS specific. Those were the admission and release dates for my last hospital stay.
