While the Sun Sleeps
This morning at 5AM I grabbed a vanilla latte at Starbucks, drank a bit of it, and then decided to drive to Caribou for another coffee. I didn't get a raspberry mocha at Caribou though, for I'm on a new diet and I'm trying to switch completely over to regular coffee. That way I can cut down on those calories, and hopefully it will help me lose some weight.
I weighed myself this morning, and I hadn't lost any weight. However, I didn't gain any either, so I suppose I have to view that as a good things. The regular coffee I drank this morning gave me a bit of an upset stomach; I wonder if that will aid me in losing weight, for I won't want to eat food if I'm feeling a bit sick.
Last night's book signing went fairly well. I was hoping to sell more than I ending up selling, but I think my expectations were a little unrealistic. I didn't give a talk last night, so the people who bought my book were pretty much just going from the look of the cover, or else from the recommendation of a friend. Two people had actually seen me on television and came to the fundraiser to meet me because of my television appearance. That was really cool. The other thing that made my night was that a woman who knows a ton about mental illness (she has two ill grown-up children) said she read my book and it gave her insight she didn't have before. Wow. That really makes all these efforts worthwhile.

Hey Andrew,
I haven't had a chance to let you know that I saw you on T. V. It was great! I felt that the information you gave was precise and to the point. You didn't look nervous even though you said you were. I remember when I used to sing at weddings. Before singing, I felt that I would either throw-up or faint, but then actually I would enjoy the entire experience because I knew that I was good at doing what I had prepared to do. ( I hope that doesn't sound conceited!) I have given out the "bookmarks", that your dad sent on to me, to the counselors at our high school and Jr. High. I have also encouraged them to view your website and get a copy of your book. I feel that teachers and counselors could very well alert their clientel as well as educate them about your mental illness. As these kids are heading off to college soon, awareness of these two illnesses would only be a plus.
Sandy
