One of those nights....
It's one of those nights when I want to do everything and will end up doing zip because I can't decide what to do.
I've been burning incense all day. Trying this and that. I discovered that Russian Amber delights my sense of smell. I just lit something called Star Sandalwood; very light, clean smell. It's not like the other brands of sandalwood, but I do like it!
The other day, I learned that we can get access to the CTC (Central Texas College) library. Non-students can use the library for a refundable fee of 20 bucks. I have free access to the Cove library and the Fort Hood library. There's also the Killeen Library, I think it's a 5.00 annual fee for those living out of the city.
From Cove, I have five audiobooks. Two of them, Southern Cross by Patricia Cornwell and Nightmare in Pink by John D. MacDonald, can be returned this weekend. The McDonald is a Travis McGee. The reader, Darren McGavin, is probably best known for his role in TV's Kolchak:The Nightstalker. He has the perfect voice for a first person detective story.
Currently, I'm listening to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It's the third in the Harry Potter series and the only one I haven't read, yet. Jim Dale brings all of the Harry Potter stories to life in the audio versions. They are not abridged and could easily be used in conjunction with the book to help improve reading skills.
Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz, I have listened to before, but I really like it. I read the sequel, Seize the Night I want more novels about Moonlight Bay, Chris Snow and.... Citizen Kane. If you've read the books, you know Citizen Kane is a nickname for Orson, a dog. The last in that pile is Me : Stories of My Life by Katharine Hepburn.
I have several books, etc. out from Fort Hood. Two items, a book on hand care and an audio book, Nightshade that need to be returned. The other stuff, some need renewing. I might wait until Sunday to do that library trip. Don't know, yet. Sometimes, I just want to stay home.
For those that are into mythology, Caroline Seawright's Egyptology Column. This one has quite a bit of stuff.
I keep slipping into these moments where I want to ask someone something and my brain fogs... somehow, whatever it was I wanted to know just doesn't seem as important as I thought it did when I wanted to ask. I keep drifting into silence lately. I guess a few past events that have been weighing on my mind. The desire to just reach out and slap a particularly annoying person has caused me to retreat from even those I trust most. No one likes listening to a broken record and that's what I've begun to sound like. I need to let it out. I think that's going to be my weekend project, trying to let go and heal a few more places of anger and hurt. I want me back.. I want to move on.
