I hang them to dry sometimes and this would save me a few dollars. I've been reading Touched With Fire and all the old quotes are interesting but it is a little triggering. It reminds me of a song I have a recording of that goes "O death! O death rock me asleep!" What is the point of this book- to show how artists have a bigger affinity toward depression and mania? Why does she need 260 pages plus appendices to explain how it feels to be depressed and manic? That famous artists throughout history have written as much is fascinating but maybe not worth almost 300 pages- with appendices? I myself have always been creative and emotional but I thought that's just how my family is.

I get so annoyed when I do the laundry and forget to wash something.

I haven't read Touched With Fire for so many years. I remember liking it when I read it - I wonder if I would now? I was a lot younger and nicer back then. I will reread it.

My family is creative and emotional, too. And they all have some degree of mental illness . I fit right in.
