Monday Musings...

So much to think about and so much to get through this week. I already feel exhausted. And it doesn't help that I wake up tired every day. Thank you anxiety and depression! I'm thinking that going to therapy tomorrow might be a good idea. Hmm...

I've been writing it out lately, which does seem to help. I just need to stick with it. I also need to start art journaling again. I've set up a new journal and I just need to find the time, well, the energy/mood, to start using it. 

I finished reading Mark Edwards' latest story, The Wasp Trap, which I gobbled right up. Definitely didn't see all the twists and turns coming - only a few. It was a quick and fun read. Next I read, Chevy Steven's new book, The Hitchhikers. It comes out later this year. And, it is quite a ride. An American couple traveling through Canada in an RV meets a young couple and offers them a ride...things quickly devolve into mayhem- think hostages, murder, and robbery. Yeah, it's pretty intense. So, of course I devoured the story in one sitting. 

Afterward I picked up All Fours by Miranda July and read another chapter. I just can't seem to fall in with this book and yet I won't give up on it. Instead I read one chapter and then pick up another book to read until the next chapter. It's so weird and not at all like me. Normally if I don't like a book I will DNF it, but I do like the writing so I'm sticking with it a bit longer. We'll see what happens. Anyhow, I've started another book and I can already tell it's going to be a quick one. It's called, This Is Where We Die

Anyhow, I need to get back to it, so I'm going to wish you all a great start to the week. Happy reading!

Anxiety and depression...the gifts that keep on giving. :p And they do make you so tired. It makes it hard to do anything beyond the bare necessities. Hang in there! I keep trying to change my mindset to a more positive direction, and remind myself that the things that are making me anxious are usually in the future, that they're not happening right now, and that I'm safe. But it's sad when you have to remind yourself to breathe. Hope the journal writing and the therapy help!
