I am noticing a disturbing trend in my reading. Granted, it's all pretty much escapism at base (and can I simply say about this, YAY! and also DUH!) but in addition to that....well, actually I'm not sure. Either it's affecting my mood (i.e., I'm having trouble getting up the energy to *Do* the stuff I need to do b/c I'm reading some pretty dark stuff) or my mood's reflected in my reading (I'm reading dark stuff because that's Just The Way I'm Feeling Today.)
Either way, it's not working for me, but I can't seem to be drawn in to the sweeter, lighter, more upbeat stuff....
*sigh*
And I totally spaced on going to the grocery store or cleaning at all today, therefore I shall be buying a LOT of crap at Wal-Mart later today, and cleaning all day tomorrow (with kids underfoot I might add.)
And why do I feel this way, you may well ask? Well, at least partly, it's 'cause Steve asked if he could do a guys' night thing tonight. And it depresses me that there's no girls' night. Or if there is, I'm not getting invited. And that makes me sad. So while he's gone tonight, I think the kids and I will try watching something completely ridiculous and silly in an attempt to lift my mood. I may even haul out Frankie and Annette.
And I really do hope Steve has fun. I want him to have opportunities like this, and friends he wants to hang out with.
I just wish I had the same.
