A Rainy Sunday

 tn_!cid_00a101c8 I decided to make a quick post today as I sat here surfing the net listening to the soft rain hit against my bedroom window. It's been a while since I've posted, a self imposed internet sabbatical being the biggest reason.

I've been in an emotional funk this week. Little things that seem normally roll off me have irritated the hell out of me. I'm burnt out and looking very much forward to some upcoming time-off. I've also started trying to lose weight again. I think that always puts me in a funk at least for a week or two. Maybe it's the decrease in "Sugar Lady's " daily intake or just that I have to face up to the fact I've not been living very healthy. Both are depressing thoughts.

I've been devoring books! My love of reading has been sparked again and I can't wait to start a new book after finishing one. I have a To Be Read Pile that could easily stock a small bookstore, but yet, I still buy more. I've always dreamed of owning a bookstore, maybe one day I'll get that chance and won't feel guilty about buying more books. I'm very lucky, though, that one of my benefits at work is that I can get reimbursed for reading. Our CEO is a strong believer in reading and if I donate the book to our office library (any type of book!), I can turn in my receipt for a full-refund of the cost. Free Reading! Of course, I use that a lot to wash away the guilt of buying another book. Hehe. At least the books are being passed on and I know others get some fun out of reading them.

I'm beginning to see the signs of fall around. Days are getting shorter and even though the days can be wicked hot the skies have that fall look and the nights turn cool.

It can't come soon enough for me. Peace.

Books are my favorite escape. Books are my addiction. I swear I have a bad case of Book Lust.

Survivor starts back up again in a couple of weeks. YAY!!!

Aren't books the perfect getaway? Housework will ALWAYS be there. Take that mental vacation.
