  • Happy Halloween! 






What Am I Currently Reading? 


By the time this post is published, I should've finished Tom Clancy's Weapons Grade. Today, I should probably begin After Midnight by Karin Slaughter next, but The Secret—the new Jack Reacher thriller—is calling my name.

  • On Friday, the dryer decided to quit yet again. I ordered some cheap parts from Amazon, which arrived late yesterday. The good news is that the dryer has power and heats up. The bad news is that it isn't cycling correctly, so I'll work on that this morning.

  • It's after three o'clock in the afternoon, and I've just started writing this post. Why the lateness? I know this is a broken record, but here it is: I've been sick with a nasty cold for most of the week. My body is having difficulty shaking this thing off. Either I keep catching a cold, or I have the new variant. I tossed and turned last night, and the constant coughing didn't help. I attempted to sleep in a recliner, but that didn't pan out well. So, I didn't get any sleep until this morning and throughout the early afternoon.

  • This past week, there were no reviews. I was at a loss for words as I stared at the empty screen. Fortunately, it was only a short-term issue. I've written about 3/4 of a review for Star Trek: The Lost Years, and it will be published tomorrow. Then, I need to start working on many other review posts, including those for Hidden Pictures, The Heirloom, and Star Trek: Prodigy: Escape Route.

  • Please keep in mind that I'm writing this post on Friday night. 

  • A cousin of mine on my adopted side passed away on Tuesday from cancer. A "celebration of life" will be held after his cremation; there won't be a funeral. 

  • I'm gradually recovering from my cold. My sneezing has stopped; however, my nose remains rather stuffy. The morning after I made myself mow the lawn, a canker sore appeared behind my tongue. It's still there, steadily improving.

  • I'm still ill with a terrible head cold. The sneezing is almost gone, but my coughing is worse; congestion comes and goes. I bought a new humidifier for my bedroom; hopefully, it will help. 

  • What's going on? The KC Royals have won 4 games in a row. They're 48-101. The question is: Can they win 50 games by the season's end?

  • I think I've got a nasty cold or a new "variant" that's going around. It started with intermittent sneezing and sinus congestion for three days. Then, on Friday night, the headaches, exhaustion, and vomiting started; my temperature never rose above 99. I slept through Saturday morning and most of the afternoon, wrapped in an electric blanket. I did go out later to grab some nasal spray, cough drops, and Kleenex. As of this writing, my congestion problems appear to be improving. 

  • Below is a photo of my Star Trek birthday cake. 


  • The Kansas City Chiefs lost their season opener. I hope this isn't a sign for the rest of the season.

  • My restriction from thrifting for books lasted nearly a day. 

  • Thursday marks my 42nd birthday, as well as the first game of the season for the Kansas City Chiefs and the season premiere of Star Trek: Lower Decks. 

  • The Kansas City Royals need a few more losses, and they'll officially be the worst team in the MLB. They're 29.5 games behind in the AL Central with a record of 42-95.

  • I need to reduce the frequency of my trips to thrift stores from weekly to maybe once or twice a month. I have many unread books on my shelves, and, to be quite honest, I need more shelf space. However, I should build my bookcases or acquire better, larger ones before rearranging my collection. I should also make the time to read all the novels I have on my WTRs (want to read) shelves. I have books on at least three shelves I want to read, and except for a few titles, I don't intend to keep all of them when I finish reading them.

  • It was a long, busy week, but I had enough time to read three books. 
 
  • After getting sick and tired of hearing the shower drip (and drip), I removed the shower faucet handle and figured out the issue - one of the seats & springs needed replacing. After not finding the right-size piece at the local hardware store, I went to a different county to two other stores that didn't have the size. Eventually, I returned to my town's store and bought a Delta repair kit for a kitchen sink, which had similar-size seats & springs. And it worked; the dripping stopped. While I had the faucet apart, I replaced the other seats & springs, two washers, and a rubber seal.

  • There's a new thrift store, Bark Bargains, in my town. The proceeds go to the local animal shelter. Well, it's not really new, but it moved to a new location—the old Mediacom building. 
 
  • Why is Amazon delivery always late on Saturdays?

  • My Black Friday on-sale Keurig coffee maker went kaput, forcing me to buy the cheapest replacement at Walmart. Surprisingly, the off-brand one works better.
 
  • I had to buy a new toilet to replace the old, leaky toilet in the basement. The installment was a breeze; it took me longer to remove the old one.

  • Believe it or not, the Kansas City Royals went on a seven-game winning streak before losing two more games. They're now 36–77.

  • I hate this humid summer weather. I wish Fall would hurry up and get here already. 
 
  • I have continued to have allergy and congestion issues. Thursday and Friday were rough days for me though I was better by Saturday afternoon. 

  • It seems the rain weirdly avoids my town, but on the plus side, there hasn't been severe weather here. Well, except for the 14th, when a five-minute windstorm hit. One big tree branch got knocked down. 
 
  • The Kansas City Royals are 28-72. At this rate, I highly doubt they'll win 45 games by season's end.

  • Hey, I'm back! For those of you who noticed, I skipped last week's post. It was Father's Day, and I was busy with family stuff. 

  • Last Saturday afternoon, a wasp stung my left shoulder blade. I'm allergic to wasps, and it was on my bad shoulder, so I wasn't in a good mood.

  • I added four new bookmarks to my collection: House of the Dragon, Yellowstone, Outer Banks, and Handbook for the Recently Deceased (Beetlejuice).

What Am I Currently Reading? 


My reading has been slow as of late. I'm halfway through the graphic novel Mindset. I'll finish it tonight and write my review for tomorrow's post. Also, I need to read another graphic novel, The Blue Flame, because my review post is due on the 7th. Then I'll read End After End, another graphic novel; my review is due on the 12th.
