I am home sick for the 2nd day in a row. :( I didn't want to take 1 day off, let alone 2 but my body had other options. I have been fighting headaches since Sat off and on and yesterday & today have felt sick to my stomach & a bit vertigo-ish. There was no way I could concentrate yesterday & felt pretty much the same today. I have to push myself ( Read more... )

It has been quite awhile since I've written about the books I checked out. I'll do a quick synopsis of a couple of the ones I read recently & the last lot I mentioned checking out before the post-hiatus, then will mention the ones I have now :)

The ones I last mentioned in this postBound, by Sarah Bryant -- Urban paranormal style story set in ( Read more... )

The previous haul of books I had checked out last time (see this entry for the synopsis of the stories):

"Blue Labyrinth" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Childs -- I really enjoy their books & this was no exception. I liked it because it seemed more 'real'. Sometimes Prendergast gets out of situations too easy I think (too much intrinsic knowlege ( Read more... )

We went down to the library today to return some books & pick one up that I had ordered. I realise I hadn't done a brief round-up of my thoughts on the last books I checked out so will do that quick & then some info about the ones I will be reading next. Let me preface it by saying I had bought a couple books at the library & started reading one ( Read more... )

I am still spending too much time on my ass on my weekends, but managed to do more steps yesterday than my usual work day & managed to get into the garden for a little while today. My weight has hit 190 lbs, which is I have been trying to avoid. I am still making some wrong food choices so I have gotten back into logging my food on my Fitbit site ( Read more... )

Ok, this will be a long post. It will be a political post. It will be a post of things that have been cooking in my brain, in my psyche & in my soul for several days. You have been warned.

Earlier this week I finished "The Ghosts of Tom Joad: A Story of the #99Percent" by Peter Van Buren. I even did a review over at Good Reads, but will sum it ( Read more... )

Quick post. Doing ok, a bit down but that's a whole 'nother post ( Read more... )

Finished a Viking knit bracelet today, this one out of 26 gauge (very thin) baby blue wire that changed colour from yellowish to blue. I put some gold coloured caps on the ends, a twist of black jasper (approx 7 to 8mm long) & used some of C's bracelet elastic to hold it all together. I made it for C ( Read more... )

About a month or so ago I went into my local Starbucks to get some coffee. I don't like their espresso drinks but it's the only place in town I can get plain, brewed coffee & I like theirs as it's nice and strong ( Read more... )

I'm tired and I haven't done much this weekend. I think the last few days of not sleeping well and not being over this cold has all been slowly catching up on me. I did take a nap yesterday and felt bad about not getting into the garden to take advantage of the sunny weather, but at the same time I felt so tired. I had asked C to get me up in 1/ ( Read more... )
