on the up side, I have fresh peaches

It just struck me today that things are not as they should be. I enjoyed cleaning my sister's kitchen overly much. Playing with my nephews all day was a major highlight and exhausting. I'm sleeping a lot. My mood has been all over the place and I've been over-analyzing everything, nearly to the detriment of life. I couldn't create last week.

Why did it take me so long to figure out I was taking a down swing? This one hit me hard and fast, camouflaged by being out of my comfort zone on this vacation. I've been away from my support structure both in RL and online.

I don't know that this was the smartest thing I've ever done.

So I went to visit my friends B and N, the bookstore

I decided to make myself feel better by spending money on books AND games!

Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster

Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews

Firelight (Darkest London) by Kristen Callihan

Spectyr (book 2) and Wrayth (book 3) by Philippa Ballantine

Dixit (the game that Whil Wheaton played on Tabletop this week)

...plus a few other games for gifts.

What I really should have bought was a fly swatter because sister doesn't appear to have one and there are two flies that WILL NOT leave me alone. Grrrr! Of course, just talking about them has made them run for cover so HOORAY!
