current knitting projects  May 2022 Last week was busy: filled with appointments, errands, volunteering, and reading. My old dental work (circa 1970s) is beginning to show its age. Recently, an old crown come off and part of the tooth with it. Thankfully, the tooth had a root canal years ago, and I didn't have any pain. The pain is going to be in my wallet as I don't have dental insurance. I'll have the tooth prepped for a new crown this week. I volunteered at the Eppson Center (senior center) last week, too. The morning receptionist asked me to substitute so she could attend her granddaughter's music performance. Thinking I might have time to sneak in some knitting, I grabbed the basket containing my current projects. Sadly, I didn't have time to even pick up the needles.  Most of my evenings last week were spent listening to an audiobook: This Will Not Pass  by Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns. It is a fairly balanced account of the events leading up to the 202...

July 2020 I've listened to several audio books on OverDrive the past four months. If you like suspense and thrillers, you might enjoy reading/listening to books by B.A. Paris.  Behind Closed Doors was good (I finished it on Friday), but it was also one of the most disturbing books I've read. I forced myself to take long breaks because the narrator and plot were so believable. It deals with spousal abuse, and if you've known someone who has been abused, it can hit pretty close to home.  Can you recommend any authors or books that others might enjoy?

Vituperative was used in Lone Wolf   by Judy Picoult to describe the actions of one of the main characters. I was curious and asked Siri to find the definition. ( Yes, I was too lazy to go look in the dictionary ) I doubt that I will ever use the word in every day conversation, but it's now in my vocabulary. Have you discovered any "new" words recently?
