Since nothing else is going on around these parts I guess I could say that I am on my third book of the new year. Another non fiction title, "Thank You for Your Service" by David Finkel, a book about soldiers who have problems adjusting after coming back from war. Some are injured physically, some mentally, but all are damaged in some way. The book goes on to talk about not only the injuries they suffered, but how those injuries affect their families. It is a really good book, chances are I will have it finished by the end of the week. I would be done by now if it weren't for my hours at work, most of my reading is done on the bus on the way to and from my job. Occasionally I get to slip out and go to dinner, always with the book in tow so I can get more reading in.
The weather hasn't helped much, with it being cold all of the time and snow every other day it seems, I can't escape to my bench in the park and just sit there quietly and read, which I do miss. I have some more books lined up after this one, Dee brought in some books from her house, she is in the process of packing and moving soon, so she is getting rid of things that she will not be taking to her boyfriends place for the time being, or to Florida this summer, which seems to be her long term plan. She brought in three or four books, I definitely want to read a couple of them, and I still have two or three books to get to that Ed gave me before he left for the winter, so I do not suffer from lack of reading material. If I did I have $60 in Barnes and Noble gift cards I can use, and another $40 in Amazon cash, so I have a pretty good leg up on reading material for the entire year if need be.
I wish I could say there were other, more exciting things going on around these parts, but really there isn't. This is one of those days where I am blogging because I said I would not because I have anything interesting to say. I will save that for other people. This is one of those days were they will be better at it than I am.
