Is there a resurgence of romance novels or does that genre always float in the background? I have had people recommend books only to discover they are romance novels. It amuses me every time I go to the used book store and see that the largest group of books are used romance novels. I guess they aren’t books that you want to read multiple times.
In other news, yesterday while testing out the camera in bright light conditions I came across something in the backyard. Two trees from the lot next door fell into our yard. One is a dead pine left over from the hurricanes in 2004. The other must have died in the past year. It was still full of leaves, though dead. They had to have fallen in the past week and a half because that was the last time I was in that part of the yard. Thankfully it isn’t over a large area our yard, but it does make for a lot of cleanup. We had some very nasty storms roll through last week, so it is likely it happened then. I am just glad we haven’t put a fence up. We would have lost it four or five times already.
Today I worked on chopping down some of the invasive air potato plant that infests our yard yearly. When cut, the plant gives off an oil that is an irritant. I chopped down a lot of the plant which resulted in me having a massive itching attack. I ended up having to scrub my arms and neck and take a benadryl. This was a bad move.
I hadn’t eaten anything other than five or six crackers all day. About 30 minutes after taking the Benadryl, I went out. I went to the gas station to fill up the car and then planned to head to my parents. As I was pumping the gas I remembered that Josh wanted to get new tires for my car. I called him and he remembered the tires too. Since I was less than a mile from the house, I just went home. This was a good thing. Within about fifteen minutes I was complaining to Josh about how tired I was. Ten minutes after that I was out. Normally Benadryl doesn’t make me drowsy. In fact, rarely does anything make me drowsy. I think it was the empty stomach that did it.
So that has been my weekend so far. Hope yours was as exciting as mine.
