(no subject)

I am tired but relaxed and happy to be home. I have no ambition to study for finals (bad) but just finished an excellent book (good) "Choice of Evil" by Andrew Vachss. A edgy modern noir kind of style. The jacket says the story is about a serial killer killing "fag bashers" but is really something much more complex and engrossing. I LOVED this book and totally recommend it.

Apparently the main character is the constant in a series of books - like Marlowe. I'm looking forward to the other books.

This is the last of the books my ex gave me. I had a stack of them and throw one in to the mix once in a while. It was by far the best one (hence my spacing them out). Oddly there was a picture of him in it. I'm not sure if it was left by accident or meant for me to find but it startled me. In a good way, I should add. Like when you suddenly think of someone or something you normally owuldn't be thinking of. He was a good guy if not the best boyfriend. I hope he's well.

Anyway, I'm going to throw something warmer on and go walk the dogs before it gets too dark out. I have a few errands to run as well.

I had a weird night getting to and in the airport last night but don't feel like I could do it justice right now. Suffice to say it included getting lost following a map to the wrong airport, a canceled flight, a run in with security, a ticket to Miami and visiting terminals A thru D at least twice a piece.

Things I Am Grateful For
Having enough
Being home
Mr Bear picking me up from the airport
Time alone today (I really needed it)
Darla and Tess greeting me with reindeer antlers in their mouths when I got home (props from Mr Bear's show they stole)

Things I Want Today
A few days off
A massage
For someone to buy the 3 presents, for the little cousins I forgot to buy for, for me
To get past the holidays and the temporary shortage of funds
To get laid off
