Researchers have found, according to a NPR report on a random day, that Americans are most unhappy on Tuesdays. The happy effect from the previous weekend has passed and the upcoming weekend seems far away.
So from the Vallory V blog, I add artistic validity to this sad day:

P.S. This song is best minutes before a break-up.
My favorite line:
Too rich or too poor, she’s wanting me less and I’m wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
My daughter was so excited to share with me her new favorite song. We like some of the same music, but not all so I began by half-listening while I scanned through the mail. Then I heard the lyrics –
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
That’s Darcey and Vincent. I don’t know if I achieved it in the book, but that’s what I meant. Both are hit out of nowhere with the feelings they have for each other and it’s hard to come to terms with these new emotions.
Vincent’s line that gets me – “Darcey, I almost came to blows with your dad, had it out with my mother…honey, I just don’t have the energy to pretend that it’s only sex and I’m not in love with you. Not tonight. Not right now.”
I really plan to stop talking about this soon. I promise! ~Val
So I should be polishing up the last few chapters of Déjà Vu, however I’ve been doing everything but that. But I’ve promised myself that after dinner is done and the dishes have been put away, the evening and late into the night belong to Darcey and Vincent.
In the background, I’ll be playing Ray Charles. For some reason his duets have been a mainstay with this project. And Crazy Love has become the theme song for this couple.
My favorite lines:
And when I’m returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin’ brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
Sexy as hell. Look at his face. He just knows he’s touching the keys in all the right spots!
Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
Ethan lands tomorrow! Lena, are you ready?
Ethan Holden, the hero of Music For Her Soul, plays the trumpet.
Dead Man Blues
It’s four days until Ethan’s plane touches down. Lena is probably getting a little antsy. To help with nerves, she and her sister will find a little club like this one and relax.
Yeah, You’re Right (Pronounced yeaya righ’ in conversation.)
Four days till release of Music For Her Soul <<getting nervous>>
Dr. John performing Right Place, Wrong Time at Tipitina’s, located at the corner of Napoleon and Tchopitoulas (pronounced chop-a-TO-las).
Lenny Kravitz is hanging out on his balcony in the French Quarter and hears “Fly Away” being performed from below. What does he do? Goes down and jams.
