It's Getting Better All the Time

I am feeling MUCH better today. Of course the weather helped tremendously - sunny and high 60's. Yeah Spring! So the boys and I took a blanket to the park and read books and had snacks and poked at a dead bird and I watched the boys trap ants. I finished reading Cruddy by Linda Barry so that I could return it to my good friend, Sharon, who is a huge Linda Barry fan and I am sure is wanting her book back by now. Let me tell you it was a messed up story. It was very well written, but sort of dark. There was a lot of dysfunction, death, and overall heaviness. Not necessarily the thing to read when you are ill. But on a sunny day in the park, I could handle it. It feels good to have finished two books this week. I have been trying to read them simultaneously and it gets a little slow doing it that way.

I did shower today for like a half an hour. It felt good to get the grime off. Helpful Hint #142: DON'T SIT AROUND WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 101.5 IN A POLYESTER BLEND SHIRT. Bad news, lemme tell ya. Anyhoo...off to my artist meeting.

Next book on my night stand is The Zen of Creativity by John Daido Loori. Can't wait.
