Wednesday


Slight set back today. Feeling oogy again. Actually, the afternoon was better than morning so that's probably good. I think I got more sleep than I have in the previous nights but today I was just thick-headed again. I’m wondering – Steve is now coming down with the crud – if his germs re-infected mine. Dang it dang it dang it. I was feeling so good yesterday, comparatively. Just on the antibiotic now.

I’m currently reading ACT OF MERCY by Peter Tremayne. This is 8th of 23 in series featuring Sister Fidelma, a 7th century Celtic sister and legal advocate in Kildare, Ireland. Here is a description:

In the late autumn of 666 A.D., Fidelma of Cashel - an advocate of the Brehon Courts, sister to the King of Cashel, and religieuse of the Celtic Church -- is at a crossroads. Needing to reflect upon her commitment to the religious life and her relationship to the Saxon monk Eadulf, she leaves Eadulf behind and joins a small band sailing from Ireland on a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. James in modern-day Spain. Her first surprise on-board is the appearance of Cian, her first love, a man who had deserted her ten years ago, and who stirs up memories she'd rather forget. As if this wasn't complication enough, on the first night out the ship is tossed by a turbulent sea and a pilgrim disappears, apparently washed overboard. But the appearance of a blood-stained robe raises the possibility of murder and death continues to dog the tiny band of pilgrims trapped within the close confines of the ship. Battling against the antagonism of her fellow pilgrims, Fidelma is determined to solve this most perplexing of puzzles before the ship reaches the shrine and the killer, if there is one, disappears forever.

It was published in 2001 and has 288 pages. Wow, in flashbacks, she’s showing emotions. :)

Took the boys for a run for the first time in a week. They did well; it was windy but warm. My plan for the night is to have Wendy’s chili for dinner and go to bed early again. Steve will probably have shooting unless he feels too oogy too.

Much love,
