Books and Stuff

I had my annual physical this morning. Nothing to report, some tests to have, that's about it. The only thing of any significance is that the doctor says all my aches and pains are indeed related to the Crohn's arthritis, so at least I know what it all is. And Resnick gave me something on Monday that should be starting to help soon, and today's doctor had me add a supplement that she says will help. Time will tell.

Yesterday's book, The Housekeeper and the Professor, was just wonderful. It's a Japanese novel, but well-translated, short, and different.

Today's book was So B. It, a YA novel I brought home from the library. Not brilliant, but well written for what it is, a good YA read. I seem to be in short-book mode now. My next choice is Luna, another YA novel; one of the kids at school told me it was good when she was returning it, so I'll give it a shot. I have another few in this vein, and then some long ones to tackle, including an old David McCullogh, this one about the building of the Panama Canal, and Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy.

It also occurred to me that I would want some ebooks along for the Disney trip, and I was low on those, so I checked Amazon for Kindle book sales, and picked up a few.

Did I mention that I'm also starting to save coupons again? I was into this bigtime in the early years of our marriage -- so, 32 years ago -- but then it just became too much of a hassle to deal with. Now that I'm not going to the supermarket with two little kids, I guess I can handle it again. I'm checking websites, printing stuff out, and so on. In fact, it is a pain to do, and I don't know how much it'll really save, but again, time will tell.
