Not a damn thing!

I don't know if it's the post SXSW depression or what, but I am definitely feeling sort of melancholy. Yesterday I had this feeling like I was going to get bad news all day, and I never did, (definitely not psychic.) Then today I have just been feeling a little ick. Maybe it's the fact that I have been cleaning my house for the past 2 days and it really doesn't look any different, except in my bedroom. Should I become a messier person so cleaning will have a greater visual impact? Either way, I am tired too, but that's my own fault. I got sucked into this incredible book about the journey a family goes on when they find out their daughter has a brain malformation that renders her unable to talk. It definitely got me thinking about my own Skyler even more too. The book is called Schuyler's Monster, btw, and here's a link to the author's blog. I totally recommend it, and I don't know that I have ever recommended a book on here before. I have been working on my childhood cult story still, but so far it's just like in a memoir style, and I really want to figure out how to create a me character and tell it as more of a novel. I think the idea of a little girl facing so much strangeness could be compelling, but thus far, it's just a sort of bitchy memoir that would certainly make my mom disown me! I might put a little of it up at some point soon so you can see what I mean. I have also learned the incredible life skill of crotchet. Well, relearned. I learned it when I was young, as we had no TV to entertain us, or windows to look out. See, super weird, right? BUT, the horsemen never got me, so HA, jokes on you all, the closed shades worked! ;) All right, I got nothing today. Hope you are all doing great. Anyone in the area want to stop over for a beer and save me from more laundry, I am always down. In the meantime, check out that book. I think it appealed to my childcare background more than anything, but found myself thinking of all different life experiences while reading it, so it definitely has mass appeal. If you are interested in reading about my crazy childhood, message me and I will try and find a suitable paragraph that won't totally change the way you look at me! Or maybe it will... Just noticed the link didn't post. Weird, so here's the non blue link, ad if you feel so compelled, I guess you can cut and paste. http://www.schuylersmonsterblog.com/
