Not.

With my library re-opening next week, I figured I'd better read the two 14-day books I have out. So I'm back to reading THROUGH THE EVIL DAYS by Julia Spencer Fleming. As a refresher, this is 8th of 8 in series featuring Clare Fergusson, a newly-ordained Episcopal priest, and Russ Van Alstyne, Chief of Police, in Millers Kill, New York. Here is a description:

On a frigid January night, Chief of Police Russ Van Alstyne and Reverend Clare Fergusson are called to the scene of a raging fire. The extent of the tragedy isn't known until the next day, when the charred remains of a man and woman are recovered—along with evidence showing they were shot execution style. The last thing Russ needs are two potential homicides. He's struggling with the prospect of impending fatherhood, and his new wife is not at all happy with his proposal for their long-delayed honeymoon: a week ice-fishing at a remote Adirondack lake. St. Alban's Church is still in turmoil over the Reverend Clare Fergusson's news that she's five and a half months pregnant—but only two and a half months married. Worried her post-deployment drinking and drug use may have damaged the baby, she awaits the outcome of the bishop's investigation into her "unpriestly" behavior: a scolding, censure, or permanent suspension. Officer Hadley Knox is having a miserable January as well. Her on-again, off-again lover, Kevin Flynn, has seven days to weigh an offer from the Syracuse Police Department that might take him half a state away. And her ex-husband's in town—threatening to take custody of their kids unless Hadley pays him off with money she doesn't have. When Hadley discovers that the dead couple fostered an eight-year-old girl who was a recent liver donee, the search for the killer takes on a new and terrible urgency. With no access to immunosuppressant drugs, transplant rejection will kill the girl in a matter of days. As a deadly ice storm downs power lines and immobilizes roads, Russ and Clare search desperately for the truth about the missing child, but the hunters will become the hunted when they are trapped in the cabin beside the frozen lake and stalked through the snowbound woods by a killer.

Published in 2013, it has 368 pages. Oh great, a cold weather book during a super cold weekend. Just the ticket. Not.

I have Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta to watch tonight and maybe The First 48 after that. I'm thinking maybe fish for dinner.

The winter storm (what is this, the third wave?), is supposed to start around 5pm. I'm set with food, books ... food for the dogs ... books... paid the heating bill ... books...

I got my hair cut last night. The chick had a psychotic break and instead of trimming one inch to one and a half inches like I asked, she whacked at least three inches. I've now got a short bob. And yes I know I can't put it back and I just have to wait for it to grow because it will grow and it feels healthier, blah blah blah. Sigh. It's just NOT what I wanted.  Steve won't even look at me. Although, to be fair, he has NEVER liked any of my haircuts. As I mentioned on Facebook, I'll have to consider this an homage to Downton Abbey, season 4, starting on Sunday.

Much love,
