Mouse on the Move

November 5, 2024 pt 2

Went with Audrey today to get my clothes from The Salvation Army Store. The voucher said I could get 4 tops and pants sets, 2 dresses, shoes and a jacket. but, it also said I could only have $15 worth. Everything we looked at was $3 and $4 a piece. I ended up coming home with 3 tops and 2 pairs of pants. I was upset but what could I do? We had run out of time as it was looking for what we found. I still don't even know if it fits because they no longer have fitting rooms. Salvation Army has gone down hill yet they are opening a new store on the North End. With the way the rest of the retail has been going, they will be closing the South end store shortly after opening the new one,

I told Audrey that I wanted to back off on IPS for now and work with Michigan Rehab. I just meant that I didn't want to get together on a scheduled basis every week, rather get together when we have something substantial to do. She said she will close my case for now and to let Jacob know when I wanted to restart. Oh well. If I find someplace that I might want to drop a resume or something I can go with Sally on a Monday. She would be thrilled to take me.

I figured I would tell you what books on writing I picked up at the library.

How Not to Write a Novel: 200 Classic Mistakes and How to Avoid Them, a Misstep By Misstep Guide.
by Howard Mittlemark and Sandra Newman.

How I Write. Secrets of a Bestselling Author.
by Janet Evanovich with Ina Yalof.

From Idea to Novel, Mastering the Process
by Elizabeth George

These two are the ones I got before. I picked them because they were Young Adult Novels.

Ghost House by Alexandraa Adornetto. New York Times Bestselling Author of the HALO Trilogy.

Witches of Ash and Ruin by E. Latimer.

II don't know what I am going to end up doing with them all. I jotted some notes as I skimmed through From Idea to Novel. I had started reading Witches of Ash and Ruin but it takes effort for me to pick it up.

Everything takes effort these days. I've been hoping for something to pick up my mood. I thought getting the clothes was going to do it but that just turned into another let down. I don't know. I guess I need to just keep forcing myself to do things until I find something that will be that pick me up.
