there is so much going on in the state special session and in the country (in general) and most of it is embarrassing/disheartening (enter other pessimistic words here).
All I can do is shake my head at this point and continue on.
Had a long "catch-up" talk with D about how things are going from her perspective down in South Dallas - She said people in her area have pretty much just stopped doing much of anything. Saving what they can, not buying, not spending. They've laid off half the people at her work. She knows people that have had things happen to them but don't trust the police to do anything to help so they don't call. She mentioned how laughable it is to be accused of taking advantage of the "system" wth food stamps when she's never even thought about it and works 7 days a week to support herself and her son.
We both agreed that the awful things are happening faster then we thought and that up (north of DT) nobody seems to have been affected yet. We guesstimated within a year the "inconveniences" to them will start to finally be noticed.
Maybe we're wrong?...but I've been right so far....And overall i'm beat down today...
The best quote I read today: "I don't know how to get you to care about what's going on. "
Heading to see 1100springs and Stoney tomorrow - def could do with some music therapy
Finished
Breath of Magic - Teresa Medeiros - actually no I lasted 2 chapters? a whole lot of non-story. not my style. just no.
King's Cage (Red Queen) - Victoria Aveyard - thought it was the end. didn't realize this was a middle (filler book) grr...
The Theory of Attraction - Delphine Dryden - nerd neighbor, she helps him. surprise dom, well it was different. finished it. Won't search her out.
The Dark Lord - Le Veque - medieval. another i didn't finish. forced myself to to 30% and couldn't hang on anymore.
Double Dare - R.L. Mathewson - fav. trope hate to love. liked this series enough to follow but this one was her worst IMO. it jumped around, finished but really lost interest several times.
The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo - Amy Schumer - just started this one, amusing. That part where she can talk to anyone but needs to go hide in the bathroom (me! ha!) and/or the Irish good-bye.....yeah I think we could be friends in real life
