Flooded, Feeling Down & Reading, Reading, Reading.

I woke up to find our washing machine had been stuck on the fill cycle, and a flooded carpet as I returned from having dozed off. This happened in late August.
Our apartment complex gave us a guest suite on the first floor for the four days we waited for both the water to be sucked up, then dried away by massive industrial sized driers that had been placed underneath the ripped up carpet.
It was nice being in the same building instead of having to go to a hotel or something.
My 17 year old insisted on remaining in the wind tunnel which was our apartment. Said he liked pretending it was his own place...

We will be attending my cousins wedding in Virginia, which is on Oct. 8th. She wants me to take photos along with a friend of the family.. whom I believe doesn't like me anymore, since he has un-friended me on Facebook. We got along before to where he actually gifted me my telephoto lens.
I really wish Facebook would give notifications when people unfriend you.
So, we'll both be shooting the wedding photos. Should be a blast.

Honestly, I've been depressed more than not. But, I am thankful for all the good that comes my way.
Especially loving that it's finally fall.


I've been reading a lot, for me. I'm only five books away from my 2016 goodreads goal of 40.

I'm currently reading The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. This book has pretty low reviews, but everyone that I follow on Goodreads has given it 4-5 stars. My husband thinks it's because people were expecting another Harry Potter. And something about her using a pseudonym, I think? I don't know. People can be so fucking petty.

(I should talk about petty. Ha. I don't want to read the Harry Potter series because I simply dislike Daniel Radcliffe's face, and that alone has ruined the idea of reading the books. It's the opposite of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest where Ken Kessy mentions Randle's red hair on several occasions, and I was like, nope. Jack Nicholson's hair is brown, and loving the imagery of Mr. Nicholson as the main character.)

I'm nearly a hundred pages in and really liking it so far. If I hadn't been so sleepy last night, I wouldn't have been able to put the book down.

Before this book I had just finished reading Norm Macdonald's first book titled Based on a True Story; A Memior. I loved it. I love that it made me laugh during a time when I really needed it.
I said it was his first book in hopes that this won't be his last.
