Reason #27 why I have dogs....


I didn't post yesterday because we had to meet Steve's cousin Mikey for dinner at 6:30 and didn't get home until 10. Yes. 10. The good news is that we went to Red Robin; the bad news is the conversation was the equivalent and sometimes the exact contest of my gun is bigger than your gun. I watched the hockey game on the TV in the corner a lot.

I'm not volunteering at the campaign tonight because I've got some kind of weird bug trying to get me. A dizzy/tired feeling started yesterday and I'm thinking I just need to be laying down, preferably sleeping. My goal today was to get through the day and the next goal is to get through tomorrow. We're extremely short handed at work right now and I'm not going to leave my co-worker to handle the calls alone.

I'm currently reading AN IMPARTIAL WITNESS by Charles Todd. This is 2nd of 3 in series featuring Bess Crawford, a British army nurse in WWI. Here is a description:

It is the early summer of 1917. Bess Crawford has returned to England from the trenches of France with a convoy of severely wounded men. One of her patients is a young pilot who has been burned beyond recognition, and who clings to life and the photo of his wife that is pinned to his tunic. While passing through a London train station, Bess notices a woman bidding an emotional farewell to an officer, her grief heart-wrenching. And then Bess realizes that she seems familiar. In fact, she's the woman in the pilot's photo, but the man she is seeing off is not her husband. Back on duty in France, Bess discovers a newspaper with a drawing of the woman's face on the front page. Accompanying the drawing is a plea from Scotland Yard seeking information from anyone who has seen her. For it appears that the woman was murdered on the very day Bess encountered her at the station. Granted leave to speak with Scotland Yard, Bess becomes entangled in the case. Though an arrest is made, she must delve into the depths of her very soul to decide if the police will hang an innocent man or a vicious killer. Exposing the truth is dangerous—and will put her own life on the line.


It was published in 2010 and has 352 pages. This is a digital loan from the library on my Kindle.

Ok, off you go.

Much love,
