Sometimes, usually after spending hours studying, or hours working, or both... I just look at my pet rats and think, god I wish I were them right now... Waking up to a full bowl of food, getting fed treats. Always having a bottle of water, sometimes a little juice added in it. All that with absolutely no effort. Run around the appartment for a few hours a day, and go back into one of the cage hammocks to take another nap. And so on for that routine. And if I'm feeling energetic, go on a run on the good old wheel. Being somehow freed of that responsibility of having to go to school, work, study, and preparing everything you do, makes life as a pet rat more and more appealing.
Maybe the gloomy mood, is due to these harsh winter days... Maybe...
