Proud new owner

Prednisone face watch continues. Sometimes my face looks like a bloated, undesirable moon that almost forces me to dive into the fridge and eat everything - metal and plastic included, and sometimes it looks normal. I blame the lighting.

As well, I am the proud new owner of AN ECHO IN THE BONE! WOOOOO! Thanks to Walmart for breaking their embargo agreement and releasing the book 3 days early, Chapters chose to compete with those dirty bastards and release it too, 30% off. Still, it was hellishly expensive but that doesn't matter. I'd sell my left boob for that book.

I was lucky enough to have lunch with my cousin Tammy and Aunt Kathryn today! Mum and dad came too since it always seems to turn into a spectacle to get the family together but i'm happy it worked out! They were kind enough to give me a (hold your extremeties people) $100 gift card to Chapters!! I havent broken into it yet, I will use it wisely! I SWEAR TO GOD. I'll exercise some form of self control with it...i'll view it as a life line. This just motivates me to read more than i do, b/c truth be told i havent read much since my tx since i'm always out walking or at appts or something. I need a good rainy day to just sit my ass down and read. Currently i've got 5 books on the go which is horrible. My main focus is Into the Wilderness...and I think after this i'll go to An Echo in the Bone, that way, when i begin to go through Jamie and Clare withdrawal all over again, at least the Into the Wilderness series will feed my habit since they are similar in their premises. I won't need to sink into a severe literary depression as i did last year upon completing A Breath of Snow and Ashes and rock back and forth in a corner for days on end, crying. I'll be strong enough to read other books.

I swear it, people. I'll be strong!

I think that's it. I'm off to read.
