Taking a jolly tram to my appt this morning, trying to feel a bit more Yay Melbourne and less depressed than yesterday. The tram drivers changed over and were so relaxed and cheerful, and the new driver somehow fixed the PA system so it stopped saying "Th' nkkrd ... p.. s... sr.. str..." There is some sun out. It's relatively relaxed and calm at this time of the day. The people are diverse and friendly. There is a vibrant range of eateries and shops on Bridge Rd (it's a bit quiet but still cool). OKAY BUT THE SENSE OF SAD IS STILL OVERWHELMING AND PERVASIVE

E: I paid too much for a coffee and breakfast bagel but NGL it has improved my mood temporarily. Gotta pop into Kmart for one of those shower squeegees and I might walk all the way home after that, 3km is a good bit of walking
