Hope everyone had a lovely holiday. Mine was good. We opened gifts this morning and everyone was quite pleased. We didn’t do a lot, a couple gifts each. Half we didn’t bother wrapping, but we managed to have at least one each under the tree this morning the other didn’t know about. I got a beautiful watch and two beautiful pendants.
I got Twilight Scene-It along with the 2 Twilight movie board games for Rob, so we spent much of the day playing games. I’d love to have another couple or two to play games with. It’d be so much more fun to have game nights with other people. Oh well, we have fun playing games, so it’s all good.
I’ve been reading/listening Under The Dome by Stephen King. I don’t care for Stephen King’s typical brand of horror, but this book is absolutely insane. It’s not a horror novel, it’s a work of dystopic fiction, though. I have grown quite fond of Dystopic Fiction and am REALLY enjoying this novel. It’s over 1000 pages, and I’m about halfway through it. It’s a hefty read, but well worth it.
From Goodreads:
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens — town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician’s assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing — even murder — to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn’t just short. It’s running out.
I’ve been sleeping normal hours lately. Sadly, tonight is destroying that. I have been going to bed anywhere around 11 to midnight and getting up around 8. It’s been nice. Tonight, though, I needed to stay up to block the door and stuff. I should be able to sleep soon. Yay. I can’t wait.
I’m going to meet up with my new pillows and rescue my old ones from the land of sleep and see if I can keep them safe for a few hours. Hope everyone had a great day, no matter what you celebrate.
