Immersed in Books

I just finished The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan. Boy, did I read that one quickly! I just started it last Wednesday. Well, it's good timing as I just got an email today that both David Sedaris books I put on hold have come into the library. So, myabe I can leave a little early to drop off this book and pick up those 2 tonight.

The Bonesetter's Daughter was another great book by Tan. She captures a lot in her characters. The way she crafts the mothers and daughters and their family history is beautiful. So many emotions are entwined. I really enjoy reading her works.

Went to class last night. Wasn't the greatest night for class for me. I'm hoping tonight will be better. My life seems to be getting more complicated the more it seems to flow easier. I wonder why that is. Maybe I need lower expectations for myself and everyone around me. That way I won't be so disappointed. Now I just have to figure out how to do that...fun stuff.

For now immersing myself in books seems to help. I'm going to go with that.

On a lighter note, I'm trying to redo these chairs I have on my patio. Apparently it's a much bigger undertaking than I thought it would be. I need an electric sander, but no one I know seems to have one. But I refuse to give up, just going to take me a lot longer than I expected. That's okay, it's an ongoing project. :)
