Hard to believe it is Wednesday
I am, for the record, feeling better, or less actively bad. I’m still delaying on things I need to do, of course, but a lot of them aren’t crucial, not in the same way. And I am sleeping closer to 8 hours a night than to 4. I even napped today. I went to the library, took out some books I have been wanting to reread, books I own which are in storage, somewhere.
This weekend will be again nice, because it is another in the suddenly rare weekends I am at home. Though after Thanksgiving, I don’t have anywhere planned for weekends. (Well, I will admit that part of me has an urge to drive down to Albany and go to Target. But I probably won’t. Maybe on the way back on Thanksgiving: I have to drive right through.)
I am reading a lot again! This is another good thing. Not reading never means that I’m just busy in a good way. (Not reading apparently means sitting on the floor trying not to wake people with crying, actually. Being depressed really pushes me into a feedback loop where I hate myself more because I am so depressed, and I am more depressed etc.) But in any case, things are better. This is good.
I hope it lasts.

Reading anything good? I’m always looking for recommendations, but I also haven’t been reading nearly as much as I’d like.

Well, I am rereading my two favourite Jeanette Winterson books (Art & Lies, and Gut Symmetries). I am finally reading Dorothy Sayers, after prodding from a friend. I am reading some science fiction from a friend.
What kind of books do you like? I can recommend.

Well, that’s just it. I am looking to read some things I might not normally pick up. I’m mostly talking fiction, am not a big fan of short stories, and loathe most Oprah book club type emote-fests. That really leaves a lot of territory. It’s not like I have time to read the books I already have, but I’m a book-buying addict.
