The gloomy Monday that ate Chicago

Actually, there is no such thing as a day of the week that eats cities, but it's just a mood I'm in today. It has reminded me of many things.

• I do not like rain when the temperature is 32º.

• I do not like cold, squishy, cooked green vegetables.

• I do not like freezing cold non-flannel sheets at bedtime.

• I do not like finding strange gooey substances stuck to the bottom of my chair.

On the other hand,

• I do like rainy days when I have a good book to read and nothing else to do AND no interruptions. (Okay, so there aren't any days like this for me, but that doesn't mean I don't like them.)

• I do like picture books that make me laugh.

• I do like emails from editors and agents who are interested in my manuscripts.

• I do like to paint and draw. (Today I'm feeling like doing some dragons. How about you?)

Anyway, this isn't a deep post. It's just a post because Monday rolled around before I knew what to do about it, and I wasn't ready.

Have a great Monday!
