muddled mind functions

Sometimes my weekends are anything but relaxing and that is what happened to me over the past three days.  Naturally not all of it was bad, but I do not like being on the go all of the time.  Yes, it was nice that I managed to sell some books that I will never read again for some fast cash, but I also need my time to think.  My mind becomes muddled when I don't have a moment or two to sort through what has happened to me through the course of a day.  I seriously need to organize my thoughts or I start to feel irritable and annoyed with anything and everything around me.  I have no idea if this feeling is unique to me or not, but that is the best way that I can describe how my mind functions.

I made a small of progress in the third installment of His Dark Materials trilogy, but I suspect that this book will take me more time than the first two.  The first had the initial excitement of the story and the second was a shorter.  Now that I am nearing the end, the excitement has started to wane and the overall length of the book far surpasses the first two in the series.
