Grasping at Eternity Magically Rocks Amazon

I don't know how or why it happened, but it did happen. THIS happened today...
In case you cant see the tiny writing, that rank says 2,063 in ALL ebooks on Amazon.
See?

WHAAAATTTT?????
No ads. No blitz. Taylor Swift didn't tweet about it. Oprah has still never heard of me, so it's not her doing. I don't even see any big glowing reviews on Goodreads from yesterday or today. I can't find a good explanation as to why sales spiked over night. But they did.
And I'm more grateful than words can express.
 
Taking Back Forever didn't do too shabby either. It reached just below 10k on Amazon.
I know it's no top 100. I realize many authors reach these numbers every day, 365 days a year, but I am not those authors.
I'm a little, hardly known, indie author.
This is a big deal for ME.
This is causing me to dance around like an idiot and be excessively happy and excited.
So please humor me and act like you're excited too.
Then pinch me, please. Or maybe not. I'd like to enjoy this happy dream a little longer.

Thank you readers. 
Thank you Universe. 

Macklemore--dang I love that guy--says it best in one of my favorite songs (Thrift Shop).
"This is f*#%ing awesome."
