Sunday Blatherings and Books

I'm sick of feeling sick. Almost 3 weeks ago I got an earache, sore throat and cough that kept me home from work for a few days. 10 days of antibiotics done and still feeling crappy, I went back to the doctor and there was very little improvement except for the cough. New antibiotic for 10 more days now and I can't hear out of one ear........ugh....It's rare that I am sick so when I am sick I'm quite whiny. I blame it on all the sick students that work in our office.

Speaking of work, the work week went quickly. Every year we do something that benefits the community in some ways. Everyone gets to choose from a list which includes manual labor, gardening work, reading to little children at schools, animal shelter work, and much much more. This year I went to Ronald McDonald House, and assembled gift bags for children staying there while there were going through medical treatments. We also read to children and organized their library. The place is beautiful and the day was very rewarding.

Reading

I have been listening to lot's of audio books (volume turned high to compensate for blocked ear LOL) and reviewed several recently. My current audiobooks are The Farm, Tom Smith (strange but interesting) and That Night; Chevy Stevens. I still need to review Landline; R. Rowell and The Arsonist; Sue Miller from earlier this month.

New Books (arrived by mail this past week)
