Books on the Brain

I woke up at 3:45am for no good reason and was not able to go back to sleep because my brain started churning on whether or not I should put a list of "Books That Influenced My Path" on my website, and if so, what they should be. Since that was keeping me awake, I finally just got up and made the list.

( Here, if you're interested -- although it's not final )

It's now 5:10 and I'm about to head back to bed. Usually my alarm goes off at 5:45, but I'm going to set it back an hour.


ETA: Woke Wolfling up at 7:00 for school, went back to sleep, slept until 10:04. I love not having a day job!

Elsewhere on LJ I saw a post by someone on the theme of wanting to be "anywhere but here." The place she described as being the particular "anywhere" she'd like to be sounded very appealing -- but I surprised myself by realizing that at this moment I don't want to be anywhere else.

I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and I'm loving it.

Being anywhere else right now would be a distraction.

What a terrific and unexpected sensation after so many years of frustration!
