This weekend, I got stuck in a little patch of melancholy. I'm not sure why this happened. It hasn't happened since May, so that's definitely a positive thing. I think that a lot of it had to do with a little too much isolation over the weekend. I was supposed to go out with friends on Sunday, but one friend was sick and there was a severe storm warning, so I didn't want to leave the house.
There was a severe thunderstorm in a city about 1.5 hours away from here (Camrose) on Saturday. An outdoor country music festival was going on. About 75 people were injured and one person was killed during the storm. This was terribly sad news, and definitely influenced my decision to stay in when there are storm warnings.
I did do a few fun things this weekend- went to a dance party held to raise money for a film. Danced my butt off for the first time in ages. I also went to see "The Hurt Locker" which I highly recommend. It's hard to watch and emotionally draining, but it's bound to get a lot of attention in Oscar time.
I didn't take the weekend off and did a bit of work each day. This afternoon, I'm all caught up on work and am working on the second draft of some poems for the new manuscript. When I initially wrote my first book, I did a lot of things unintentionally and over a period of time. This time, I'm trying to link themes and images through various sections, and I'm trying to do it on purpose. It's been fascinating.
