Useful

As a rule I am useful, productive, I strive to get my stuff done. It doesn’t matter what you call it or what you don’t, but today is not one of those days. I could whine and complain about the weather, allergies, the phase of the moon. I could pull out the end of the school year, overwhelmed, and exhausted song; but nobody cares. The truth is, I am doing very little useful today.

Okay so I am washing clothes, dusting a little, sweeping, cooking, cleaning, and such. But I had so much more on my list. I was going to dig more holes and plant bulbs, I had a list of projects aside from the usual and nothing is getting done. Of course yesterday I did a bunch, and the rain makes it less than ideal to work outside. Besides, it feels so good to sit and read this book.

Lately I have been playing with reading apps, the ones that let you read six or seven chapters free before you send in money. Then I make up my own endings and enjoy the trip through someone else’s imaginary world. Oh I buy chapters, coins, tokens, whatever, but then I realize I have spent enough and drop it. I prefer to buy my books outright, not a drib and drab at a time, but for me a novel lasts less than a day. When I read, I read and slip away entirely from where my feet are. So owning the whole book is a plus, owning the whole series is even better. Yes, the bookstore people cheer when they see me.

Back to being useful or taking a break, I work hard a lot of the time, so when I do take time to recharge, I do it passionately and with dedication. If you need to recharge, I can recommend a set of stories that will whisk you away to a sentient planet where the indigenous people are mammalian and the newly arrived humans there call them dragons. It is a story of immigration, diversity, and inclusion. The characters have strong friendships, ties of loyalty, and ethics. You will enjoy a visit, I am sure.
