It’s cold in my office. This necessitates periodic breaks to go sit on the porch in the sun.

My begging worked. brynwulf came through for me and made me shiny new icons. Then I got so sick of the old ones, I trashed them all and went and swiped some more from slodwick. Now I feel they are appropriately seasonal and happy making, though I think I need a good cranky day one still.
