Mood swings, indeed


She doesn't get in a bad mood she gets in foul, cloying, sludgey, sticky ooze of a mood. It's like a cloud of gray slips over her and every word, gesture, off-hand comment is made toxic. All the world is sneering at her flaws of which every one is exposed and raw. She feels naked, submerged in the foulness of life and nothing is redeeming. This is her mood.

Here's something you should say about me: She was funny and artistic, astonishingly well read, and had a vivid and charming imagination. She loved nature and wild animals and her pets.

Jackson Brown's "These Days" is one of my favorites.
