blah

In spite of feeling a little down for a couple of days toward the beginning of the week, I still managed to get quite a bit done. The silliest thing on my list is going to take a while to actually fix, but I did get the ball rolling. Anyone care to know the silliest problem on my to-do list? I accidentally discovered a strange thing on the twins' birth certificates as I had occasion to need them at the DMV. It seems the girls will not be granted driving permits until we fix the problem, and that is going to take some time. The problem? Someone somewhere screwed up royally and it took me fifteen years to notice. I called the courthouse to hear the ridiculous news that my children's official legal names are, and always have been, Infant A and Infant B. I shit you not, folks. And it will take a court order to fix this. I told you it was silly. And it's a little aggravating because this little glitch has made my to-do list longer just when I was actually putting the smack down on it.

I went to the bookstore Tuesday evening and I spent all day Friday, and so far all of today, with my nose poked in books. I should probably get up and do something, but I frankly don't want to and I can't seem to make myself give a damn, either.

Though I have not written anything in my fiction save for a lowly transitional paragraph since blogging about my much better intentions, I did go and speak with a local Girl Scout troop about the craft of writing on Wednesday evening. It went well. Still, I think something about that outing and my personal issues around self expression are causing me to become depressed. If I find my way out, I'll be sure to write about it here.
