The colour of blood…

She looked out the window and noticed amongst the skeletal trees was a flush of colour, a red the colour of blood. The beginning of spring announced, the budding leaves took on this shade and she no longer had to look solely at the gray and white which made her miserable just at the mere sight of it. She actually smiled.
It had been a good day despite some distractions. Her imagination ran wild and she felt hopeful that all the elements would eventually come together and her mind would allow her to create her masterpiece. Or at the very least, bake something yummy.
It was always this way with her. So many things had to take place simultaneously in order for one simple thing to occur. The monsters had to be tamed, the setting had to be just right, supplies in order (oh the supplies, does anyone really need that many?) etc… etc… and heaven forbid her personal opinion of herself for that particular moment had to be just right. Skewed off the wrong way and disaster could occur. This might have just been a really long way of saying that, for example, getting dressed was hard. Other things were difficult too. But she was getting used to that.
Somewhere out there, her Hero lay in wait.
She stared again out the window at the blood in the trees. It was beautiful. It made her smile. In the middle of all of her misery, she had a moment.
