Attack of the Mid-Week Blues!

sesquipedaliaticAt the moment, my life involves the following:
- work five 8-4(ish) days during the week
- knit or spin somewhat aimlessly
- watch amusing television
- help cook and clean
- pull together staged reading of All in the Timing with friends
You'll notice the lack of ANYTHING PRESSING in that list. For someone driven by stress and deadlines and expectations, this is v. unsettling. My life at the moment is this strange space of nothingness between two fairly sizable events (that would be university graduation last May and upcoming theatre internship in September). But instead of dwelling on my lack of purpose (which I can do perfectly well without blogging about it), I'm going to be positive! I'm positively resurrecting my 5 Happy Things!
1. Pandora- it keeps me in constant supply of boppy, fantastic music during the day. With such a varied soundtrack, work is never boring!
2. Mocha ice cream from Maple View. It's local made double chocolate ice cream with coffee added. SO MUCH NOM.
3. Reading ARCs. It's silly, I know, but the smug factor of knowing I'm reading a book months before the general public is impressively powerful.
4. Books that make me want to reach through the pages to hug the author. There have been a bunch in the last year, though most recently it's Libba Bray's Going Bovine and Holly Black/Cecil Castellucci's Geektastic for entirely different reasons.
5. The fact that Richard Castle has a Twitter account which he updates with regular sillyness. And the occasional visit from Alexis.
Have something happy or fun or amusing to share?
