* Weekly Tidbits *
- I didn't have a functional toilet or shower until Friday morning. That is how long it took to reach a plumber. Either they didn't return calls or texts or were booked. The plumber that did show up was the one I had hired last month. The problem is around fifty to sixty feet into the yard; I don't know if it's a movement in the ground, a tree root, or the cold. The plumber will return after he has his camera back from the shop, which is currently in the shop. Concrete is expensive; I hope the issue is in the yard rather than the driveway.
- Do you not find it annoying when a doctor tells you that you will receive test results in 24 to 48 hours, but in reality, it takes 4 to 5 days? Anyway, the good news is that my father does not have a blood clot; he has cellulitis caused by some form of trauma. What trauma? Perhaps a vehicle accident on Thanksgiving Eve left him hobbling, but he declined to see an EMT. Stubborn? Yep! Meanwhile, he's taking a second antibiotic, which appears to be helping.
What Am I Currently Reading?
It was a stressful week for me, and reading was not a high priority for me. Despite the mayhem, I managed to read three chapters in Patrick Stewart's Making It So.
What's New on the Shelf?
My days are jumbling together, but if my memory serves me well, I went to the thrift store on Tuesday because it was closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The book section has shrunk significantly. I only picked one book, a Robert Ludlum omnibus with the novels The Scarlatti Inheritance, The Osterman Weekend, The Matlock Papers, and The Gemini Contenders.
I paid $2 at the library for Christopher Rice's Blind Fall. I picked up A Kim Jong-Il Production by Paul Fischer at Dollar Tree; it had been sitting there for about a year. I had given it a couple of glances but had always put it back. I can't explain it, but something told me to go ahead and get it this time.

I genuinely cherish the thoughts and insights of my readers, and I wholeheartedly welcome your engagement. However, to foster a truly constructive dialogue, I’ll be keeping a careful eye on the comments section. This means I’ll be moderating to weed out any spammy detritus, overly harsh critiques, or contributions that don’t add anything meaningful to the conversation. Think of it as my little corner of the internet—a space where everyone can share their perspectives without the noise. Let’s make this a place where ideas can flourish and grow, rather than wither away in the shadows of irrelevance.
