When You Take a Step

Today started out kind of hard. I was very tired and didn't get up at the usual time, which put me behind from the start. However, this is one of the joys of working from home the way I do. I don't have to be at the desk at a certain time unless I have a meeting of some kind. So today I was late because I had to do some stuff. Among those stuffs was a call to the insurance company to see if they cover a procedure I am seriously interested in having done. So I called and to my surprise (not), I didn't get the info I wanted. I did get advice to get the "CPT and diagnosis codes" from the doctor and then call back. So that forced me to call the doctor and make an appointment. So I did, and am going in two Fridays to get a diagnosis. I am pretty psyched about that. I've been wishy-washy about this for so long, and it's time. So I took the STEP, which makes me feel pretty good. But I didn't work out. So.........

I need to go get groceries very badly. As in no bread, no peanut butter, no margarine, nothing for The Boy to bring for lunch. I tried to do the home delivery from the supermarket, but it was only for tomorrow delivery, which helps me not at all. So I will have to do that this afternoon/evening, if The Boy gets home with the car from his play practice.

So that's today, hoping to do better with the exercise tomorrow.

Book Review: Death of a Ghost (Hamish Macbeth, #32) by M.C. Beaton

Image
Death of a Ghost by M.C. Beaton My rating: 3 of 5 stars Oh Hamish, how I loved ye. I'm pretty sure I've read almost all of the Hamish Macbeth books (this is #32), including the little stories. I think I might have missed one before this one, somehow, because I didn't remember quite how Hamish got the poodle, although I do remember how he lost Sonsie. I've enjoyed them all, for the most part, being a lover of cozy mysteries. This one was not so great. It seemed like new characters, who could have been more interesting if fleshed out a little more, were popping up every chapter, along with the good old friends you expect from the books of the past. There really wasn't a Death of a Ghost, rather a fake ghost was being used to cover up scurrilous activities in the old castle now inhabited by former police bigwig Handy Ebrington, who also has a shady past. Hamish and his new co-hort, Charlie, inspect the scene, lose a body, and are off to solve the mystery. T...

Weekend Fun, Including MOVIES!

Image
This weekend was great! We had warm weather and snow all in two days! We also did something we don't do a whole lot of, and that was to go to a movie, at the theater, with the whole family. We saw: We've been huge fans of Wes Anderson since we saw "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". It's really not just a children's movie. I've probably watched it 5 or 6 times, maybe more. Meryl Streep, George Clooney, and many other great actors. Half the fun is trying to identify the voices. Anyway, back to The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's very Andersonesque, stars Ralph Fiennes, as M. Gustave H, the Concierge at the hotel, and a newcomer named Tony Revolori as Zero, the lobby boy. How can I describe it. It's funny, and sad, and dramatic and as always, whimsical. Here is a bit of dialogue from a part when M. Gustave has been locked up in prison: M. Gustave H.: "Good morning, Pinky" Pinky: "Mendl's again?" M. Gustave H.: "Precisely. No...

Book Review: The Witch of Lime Street: Séance, Seduction, and Houdini in the Spirit World, by David Jaher

Image
The Witch of Lime Street: Séance, Seduction, and Houdini in the Spirit World by David Jaher My rating: 4 of 5 stars I won The Witch of Lime Street in a books giveaway quite some time ago. I put it on the stack and didn't remember it until I recently added some large gorgeous bookshelves to the house and started shelving my books properly. I'm so glad I did! This book is a non-fiction, but reads like a novel. The author, David Jaher, has conjured up a great story, with magic, celebrities, sex, spirits, violent death and hubris. It all takes place in the 1920s, after the Great War, when Spiritualism gained strength as a movement. The war, and even more so the Spanish Flu, had killed so many people, that many bereaved loved ones wanted to try to contact their dearly departed one more time. Mediums were popping up the world over, and famous people like respected author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were promoting Spiritualism to willing audiences. At the same time, others, such as H...
