So satisfying

(source)

I finally finished the mega-monster sized book, "Duma Key" by Stephen King (770 pgs!). It's been sitting in my car for months as my "waiting" book - waiting room, waiting in line, waiting to pick up my kids, etc. Stephen King is an awesome writer and the book kept my interest enough to finish it with a great ending, but it draaaaaaaagged on for-ever! When it finally got to the good scary part (the last 200 pages or so) I finished it in two days! I guess a world famous legendary writer is allowed to do that...ah, to dream.

There were some very good catch phrase lines in the book, but here is my favorite:

"As the mathematician said when he divided by zero, here goes nothing."

I recommend it, but it's not a quick read =)

In other news, I went ahead and gave Aheila's Drabble Day a shot. The prompt was “wind” and I took it in a different direction...

My pep has pooped out. I’ve been feeling so run down lately. Time is dragging and passing in slow motion for me. The ticking is losing its meaning. Each movement an exerted effort. Yet no one else seems to have lost their vigor. The children still whoosh by my face, the dog still barks and jumps, the meals are prepared and eaten in a jiffy. So why am I so tired? Why are my hands limping their way to reach the next destination? One, more, notch…

“Hey, Mom. I think this clock stopped.”

“Then why don’t you wind it up?”
