cascading emotions Today I slept the best that I have all week and thankfully it made me feel like myself again. What I mean to say is that I could think and not have to struggle through a fog inside my brain. For the past two days I just didn't feel like doing anything and sleeping became my primary objective. I would hesitate to say that I was depressed, because that would be an overstatement. Moody would be a better choice. Then again maybe I just felt like being lazy. Of course a small vacation would be very welcomed since the holidays weren't much of a break for me. Unlike most people I worked through them and didn't have any time to relax. Plus I am reaching my three month limit of being at work and I need to get away for just a few days. My friend Dan has invited me back to California. According to his latest email, he'll be opening for Dick Dale on March 3 and he wants me to come out to see the show if I can. It sounds like fun, but I want to devote as much of my vacation time as possible for Europe, so a short side trip to California may not be the best plan of action. Bad Land by Jonathan Raban, my latest reading choice, isn't quite as interesting as I had hoped that it would be. Then again it is hard to follow a Coupland book with historical nonfiction. Maybe if the author focused on a few people and made it more of a narrative, I would like it more than I do.
