I wish I had thought of that when my dog was alive. Leaving and coming home in the dark, I always feel as if I lost the entire day, which of course I didn't, but it feels that way.

I am glad you were able to do that and got in some good reading time. <br /><br />There are so many shows I am behind on. I don't subscribe to Hulu anymore, but we may get it just so I can see The Handmaid's Tale. I was talking to my husband about it last night, and he didn't seem averse to the idea . . . :-)<br /><br />My husband tends to get depressed during the winter months, which makes it hard on all of us. I remember my dad having issues with that too. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who things February goes on forever! March tends to be a stressful month for me--a big month for out of town company over, which always adds to my stress and anxiety level.

That means I'll probably like it too. :-) I can see why The Handmaid's Tale would make an impression on you. I finished it yesterday--and dreamed about the book all night. A mix of that and my daughter's lego party train set (except it was life size and I was riding around on the train). It was weird; what can I say?<br /><br />I'm amazed at what people will say on their phones in front of a room full of strangers. If I have to call someone or answer my phone in public, I can't help but talk so softly, no one can hear me.

This will be my first by him. I can't wait to read it. Mouse loves Chuck E. Cheese. It's not quite the same as I remember it as a kid--it's more open and not as dark. Television screens instead of animated dancing characters. Everything is out in the open. Probably much safer this way, but a part of me misses some of the old features the franchise used to have.
