Monday

 

Ryker is doing better. I stayed home Thursday and Friday to get him through the first days after surgery. Saturday and Sunday stayed home, kept the boys quiet. Ryker is learning to maneuver with the cone on; eating is still a bother but he's managing it. 

 

It should be coming off on Wednesday. I have discovered the secret weapon --- at last! -- of how to get Ryker to take pills.

 Really. Maybe even more so than MILK!

 Otherwise, not much done. Sleeping when I could. Reading. A little beading. Some actual cleaning.

 

 I'm currently reading THE DRAGON REBORN by Robert Jordan. 3rd of 15 in The Wheel of Time fantasy series.

 The Dragon Reborn—the leader long prophesied who will save the world, but in the saving destroy it; the savior who will run mad and kill all those dearest to him—is on the run from his destiny.bAble to touch the One Power, but unable to control it, and with no one to teach him how—for no man has done it in three thousand years—Rand al'Thor knows only that he must face the Dark One. But how?bWinter has stopped the war—almost—yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon. But where is he? Perrin Aybara is in pursuit with Moiraine Sedai, her Warder Lan, and Loial the Ogier. Bedeviled by dreams, Perrin is grappling with another deadly problem—how is he to escape the loss of his own humanity? Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve are approaching Tar Valon, where Mat will be healed—if he lives until they arrive. But who will tell the Amyrlin their news—that the Black Ajah, long thought only a hideous rumor, is all too real? They cannot know that in Tar Valon far worse awaits... Ahead, for all of them, in the Heart of the Stone, lies the next great test of the Dragon reborn....

 Published 1991; 524 pages. This is a re-read for me. I read it when it first came out in 1991.

Nothing much on TV tonight. We'll probably watch Antique Roadshow. And hopefully go to bed early-ish. Long day. No naps. 

 I did re-watch the first season of Grantchester. I watched it when it first showed on PBS in 2014. I don't think I watched any of the other four seasons. 

A detective drama set in 1950s England, in a small village of Granchester near Cambridge, sees Anglican priest Sidney Chambers forge an unlikely partnership with the local Detective Inspector Geordie Keating after one of the vicars parishioners dies in suspicious circumstances. The 1950s sets and clothing are GORGEOUS as only the British can do in their dramas.

And the lead character is kinda cute, too.

 

I've just started season 2. 

Have a good day

 

Much love,
