Mind Over Malice

Amazingly my boyfriend had an interview today, but with the insane distance to said interview the lack of planning the opportunity quickly fizzled out. Even though I made sure he woke up on time he didn't write down directions so they had to comeback moments after they left for them. Then even with the direction they ended up coming back anyway after getting lost, but still he tries to manage to make it my fault? I was so engrossed with my new edition to the Book of the Hollows series by Kim Harrison called Pale Demon (which by the way I finished) to even pay attention to his comings and goings. He knows it too because all he got out of me was a good luck and swift kick out the door. This last book made me cry a little, and to me those are the best ones. I know it is probably debasing myself to admit this, but if you can get so wrapped up in a story that you loose the ability to control your emotions then consider the author's job a success. Also an added benefit to challenging my brain to comprehend as much as I do in a short length of time is when I go to bed it is completely worn out. Now that I have books again I can sleep, but deep down it can only be a temporary fix till I can find a job. Life doesn't contain the necessary challenges if your unemployed to stay focused and strive for something, and I feel at a loss to admit I'm failing in health because of it. My mind is begging for entertainment through puzzles like social environments provide, and my body lacks the exorcize it needs with the stress of the workplace. I know logically I could go and exorcize, but there is just no strive to anything lately. It could be the depression talking, but at least I know what the next book I'm going to read is. After a witch/demon book I'm leaning toward a paranormal hunter book, but reminding me of the the last books to this series isn't needed because it was so memorable. Voodoo, shape-shifters, and love triangles are all the rage in New Orleans in the last one so I'm excited about it.
