Here is a view of the uncovered sofa. Yeah, I’m backing up a little to make sure my meandering alphabet gets covered. Here’s to future naps and overnight guests!🤗
So this is our new pet. Gump the sofa beast from the Land of Oz. Sorry no picture of the Gump. But research brings a lot up.
(Stu)diously I’m trying to research and follow gentle treatments for UTIs. It seems to be working. I’m still tired. But the pain is less. I didn’t bike, piano or diamond painting today. I did manage half a row of knitting. But even that was too much. A lot of naps.
But we did get our new sofa delivered and set up. I didn’t take pictures. With the furries we covered it up immediately. But it is nice for extra seating and even sleeping.
Between my daughter, Heather, who gifted us a nice amount for Christmas, my brother and son for putting it together, I feel so fortunate.
Now I need to get past unwell and back to energy.
I’ve been feeling “less than”. Well, this morning I finally recognized UTI. Ugh! 😩 I’m going back to bed.
We spent the day bingeing Jurassic Parks. One of my favorite explanations is in the second movie. When Doctor Malcolm says, “Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. But then later there’s running and screaming”.
Said calmly, it encompasses all exclamations !!!
(R)eviewing the creative week.
I’ve finally added vocal warmups to my music time. And as of today I actually accompanied myself to Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and God Bless The Child. True my voice was weak as my concentration was on playing. But I take the win that I sang the words. That’s one more line to keep track of.
I seem to only have a half hour on the piano. I’m working increasing my time. I think I’ll try a few quarter hours in the evening.
This is working on the exercise bike. Increasing time or mileage in one sitting. But then grab a ride here and there helps.
And now the daily walks around the yard with Milo, I’m feeling healthier.
Never overlook popular quests like the A-Z Challenge. If you do you will find yourself struggling to keep up. Hopefully, I’m caught up now.
Sadly, I’m still behind in book reviews. That’s okay. It’ll work out. We’re just a happy, busy fur baby family.
DH took a couple good pics.
Evidently, I am behind on my muddling meander of the alphabet. For instance, I’ve gone rogue in hushed tones. I just thought how easy it must be to keep caught up and doing it legally. Must I remind everyone how busy three furry new friends muddle our senses and mess up our sleep?
Well, there you have it. I think I’m up to date. Sorry for the lack of creativity. Happy A-Zing, everyone. Check out the real site at AtoZChallenge.com.
I Sleep Around: The Humorous Memoir of a Nomadic Writer by Sue Ann Jaffarian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was refreshing and fun. Sue Ann Jaffarian has a wit that keeps the writing about traveling light and wistful.
I have to admit that I often feel I would love to travel by RV and sleep wherever the road leads me. But the lack of money and courage keep me housebound.
With Text-to-Speech on Kindle, this was a fast read. And vicariously, we get to hit the road!
Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This one was particularly bittersweet. The art world of the day was brought to light. But also, there was a deep sadness for our main characters.
These story bits were mixed into the murder mystery. Was it a murder? Another part of the mystery.
I highly recommend these books. Jacqueline Winspear’s research and writing abilities keep the story engaging. So far, I have been able to read/listen to the audio version of the books on Libby. Orlagh Cassidy (Narrator) brought it all to life.
