Yesterday, I took the day off entirely to rest and try to recover from my illness which at points during the day – I was like my head is going to split open and I’m just going to have to pick the pieces off the floor and shove them up my nose. I spent most of the day in bed reading/sleeping and scrolling. I did, at one point, get woken up by a call from Verizon (I’m trying to get FIOS installed at the church), and the technician was at the church trying to get into the phone room! I rushed over there in my pajamas and my throbbing head in drizzling weather to meet him and said – you folks were suppose to call/email me to set up a time to come over, the church isn’t staffed all the time and he sighed and said – they don’t tell me anything, it just comes up on the computer and I do what it says – it didn’t used to be like this. This is the 2nd visit from Verizon – which basically was the same as the first visit from Verizon and now some third visit is going to come by sometime from some people to do some things (hopefully different from the first 2 visits). I’m actually happy it’s gotten this far, as it started by no one calling me back for months and being on hold so long I had to hang up.
I finished Gone Girl on audiobook last week. I had read it before, but it was not satisfying this time around. I really dislike unreliable narrators. I don’t mind if you have dementia and are unreliable in that way, but if you are just straight up lying, it’s terrible to go through an entire book that way. It’s so hard for me to find good books to read, it can’t be too much like real life, full of trauma, abuse, etc. Where is the beauty? I need beauty in my life. I’m reading The Everlasting now – fantasy – time travel romance. Full of swords, love and dragons. It’s not bad.
We’ve been thinking about getting a new puppy. Jeremy spends a lot of time on instagram looking at doggies. I sigh because it’s work, but I will tell you that Jeremy is the main dog carer this time around. He generally walks Elka about 5 miles a day, I think they have a secret language together. Elka got kicked out of the coffee shop a little while ago and was nervous about being tied up outside while Jeremy got his coffee, but now she’s a champ and relaxed and often gets pets. Jeremy sidled up to me last night and said, it’s not our puppy, it’s Elka’s puppy – she wants a puppy and she’ll take care of the little one. lol.
I hope your head feels better, Doris. That sounds awful. Hang in there with the books. Kiki one time gave me really great advice and it was “not every book is meant to be read or finished”. My brain kind of exploded. Do you mean I can read a book and not have to finish it if I don’t like it. Ha ha ha. Anyway, hang in there, sweetie pie. We love you
Ugh. Being sick is the worst. Being sick and dragged out of your bed in drizzling weather IS EVEN WORSE. Here’s to feeling better.
And Elka deserves a puppy.
