recovering

'stayed home from work today. i caught a bug
which left me with a crazy head cold last night.
'stayed home today just to give my body a little
more recuperating time.

I'm feeling a little anxious.
I guess I've been sittin' on my duff for too long.
I need to be proactive and DO something.
Perhaps now is the time to sit
with my laptop in bed and apply for jobs.

Or perhaps I should just snuggle with my
Harry Potter Book 4 and finish the darned
thing already.
I bought it a year ago and I still haven't
gone through the whole thing.

Actually, one of my co-workers just let me
borrow this book that hasn't even been made
available to the public.
Elle Magazine chose her to do book
reviews for three soon-to-be released works.
I was so excited for her!
She doesn't know if her reviews will be published
but hell, what an opportunity!

The book that she let me borrow is a true
story from an Iranian woman, where she
talks about growing up in war-torn Iraq.
The first line of the book is already powerful.
I can't wait to get to the rest of it.
