Books, books and more books

Well, since I've started the nannying business, I have finished 3 books! Very exciting I know!

What I've realized is, I need a good 24-36 hours to "recover". I get so involved in my books the characters aren't just fictional characters to me. They become "friends" of a sort. I fall in love with some of them, and I empathize with others and when a book ends, they don't exist any more, except in my mind.

Now, I'm pretty stinking creative and can definitly use my imagination, but I can't just keep the story going in my head. I have to let go of them.

Sometimes its harder than others. And the really important ones always stick in my mind. Maybe not their names, but their characteristics.

So, with all that said. I'm getting ready to say goodbye to a few new friends, Mitch and Holly in the book I've dived myself into. ( The Husband by Dean Koontz)
