Friday night after a particularly stressful day at work, I drive over to Las Margaritas on Cheshire Bridge Road to have a mojito (no, not a margarita) and meet up with some old friends who have come into town.

I’ve felt a little better the past couple days at work, but only because I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.  One of my coworkers mentioned to me that she indeed agreed to take over the position I have right now so that I can be demoted back to what I was doing before, and that means that there is a definite replacement.

I’m sort of upset about a few things right now, and I just realized that the reason why I’m stuffing my face with honey, mustard & onion pretzels is because I’m upset.  And that I’ve been eating these things and I didn’t even realize it until the bag was empty.

I should really be careful of these things, you know?

• Blindness - Jose Saramago
• Burnt Offerings – Laurell K. Hamilton
• We Need to Talk About Kevin – Lionel Shriver
• The Julius House – Charlaine Harris

Well, that concludes the month of April. A busy month.

Didn’t get to read all that much because I’ve been busy adjusting to my new work schedule and inviting people over more. My evenings are busier too, and I haven’t gotten to read for the standard hour that I’m accustomed to.

This month, however, is looking good.  There are a few things I have lined up:

• The Help – Katherine Stockett
• Narcissus In Chains – Laurell K. Hamilton
• Perfume: The Story of a Murderer – Patrick Süskind
• Stardust – Neil Gaiman

I suppose that’s all for now!
