Package Arrival!

I got a fab package from my crochet pal Jill the other day! :D Here's what I got!

A MERBEAR! YAY! I remember seeing a picture of these before and wishing I could kint! The pink yarn is from a ball I sent Jill afew months ago, so it's gone full circle!

I also got a great book; Sphere by Michael Crichton! It looks really interesting; from what I understand it's about a 300 year old spaceship that's found under the sea! I will read this when I have finished 'Lestat' :)

Thank you Jill!! I love getting packages from you!! Expect one back soon! :D

Day 14 - A Non-Fictional Book

Brain Lock - Jeffery M. Schwartz



"... We all have our little quirks - habits and behaviors - that we know we'd be better off without. We all wish we had more self-control. But when thoughts spin out of control, becoming so intense and intrusive that they take over against our will, when bad habits turn into all-comsuming rituals that are performed to rid us of overwhelming feelings of fear and dread, something more serious is happening..."

This is the opening paragraph from the book Brain Lock by Dr. Jeffery M. Schwartz. It's a book about OCD and how to live with it. I've found this book very helpful in times when it all gets too much for me. The picture above is what my OCD looks like...

Day 13 - A Fictional Book

Celephais

"... Kuranes had awaked the very moment he beheld the city, yet he knew from his brief glance that it was none other than Celephais, in the vally of Ooth-Nargai beyond the Tanarian Hills, where his spirit had dwelt all the eternity of an hour one summer afternoon very long ago, when he had slipt away from his nurse and let the warm sea-breeze lull him to sleep as he watched the clouds from the cliff near the village. He had protested then, when they had found him, waked him, and carried him home, for just as he was aroused he had been about to sail in a golden galley for those alluring region where the sea meets the sky. And now he was equally resentful of awaking, for he had found his fabulous city after forty weary years..."

This is a bit of my favourite story from the book The Call Of Cthulhu And Other Weird Stories by H.P Lovecraft.
