Still here

[miladygrey]

Had to take a mental health day yesterday, after two hours of sleep and five hours of lying in bed while my hamster-wheel brain ran amuck. Have I mentioned how much I love my boss and my sick days? Spent most of it sitting on the couch reading with cats, with Yeats periodically checking in for hugs.

I am going to be okay. I am going to help however I can help, and I am going to continue to limit my social media exposure so as not to get sucked down into panic, and my life is still good.

On that note, any happy-fun books you could recommend? I am trying to keep away from the darker end of the spectrum for a while, and stick with things like unqualified happy endings and true love and being fierce and overthrowing oppressive regimes.

Reading Log: White Hot by Ilona Andrews; The Last Neanderthal by Claire Cameron; Buried Heart by Kate Elliott; The Dominant by Tara Sue Me; Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt; City of Masks by S.D. Sykes; Now I Rise by Kiersten White

If you enjoy good middle grade fiction, Stephanie Burgis's THE DRAGON WITH A CHOCOLATE HEART is absolutely wonderful.

And yes, limiting social media exposure is a good mental health care decision. Indeed I'd say it's essential, at this point.

I'll have to search that one out! I enjoyed the Kat, Incorrigible trilogy so much.

I should also find out where the heck I packed those Faerie books...
