I am stupidly depressed right now. I’ve no idea why, but literally I feel like I’m too depressed to function properly. I don’t want to eat. I’m forcing myself to hydrate.

I’ve been reading a lot lately. Using my Kindle Unlimited subscription for the best reasons. Smut, happily ever after, small town and somehow Canadian stories I can devour in a day and a half.

1. Alice in Wonderland, because it was the first book I learned to read and the first book I remember being read to me.
2. The Clan of the Cave Bear series: I’ve read it dozens of times.
3. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. I read it every December because I remember my Daddy reading it aloud as a little one.

So. One of the it books of the year is A Court of Thorns and Roses. This book is a bit of a slow going for me. And the main character is very… annoying.

I have one: Mrs. White.
She was my first grade teacher and spanked me for reading. I got moved into a second grade class, then third when my reading and writing skills surpassed that of my peers. She didn’t get fired, but she did actively try to get me in trouble.
I also skipped fifth grade, I think? Maybe it was sixth. It that’s another story.

Take your meds, folks.

Prefacing with it ain’t the ‘vid, I have a cold. I’ve not been feeling well for a few days. Even went to the doctor for it but basically got told “symptoms should go away within two weeks”. Ugh.
