Thursday.
So. Interesting times. The good news: Keo's ear infection is well. The bad news: Keo's got ringworm.
Yes, treatable. It's just my first time dealing with it in a pet. Last night we did the medicated shampoo shower (to be done twice weekly), he's to take six and a half pills once a day (they didn't have the big dose meds), and ointment twice a day on the two spots.
I DNF'd the vicar book. I didn't really care that much about the story or the guy. Still looking for a "blue on cover" read for the scavenger hunt. I may be sticking with THE WAY OF ALL FLESH by Ambrose Parry. 1st of 5 in series featuring Wilberforce “Will” Raven, a young medical apprentice to James Simpson, professor of midwifery, and Sarah Fisher, who longs to become a doctor, in 1840s Edinburgh, Scotland.
Edinburgh, 1847. Young women are being discovered dead across the Old Town, all having suffered similarly gruesome ends. In the New Town, medical student Will Raven is about to start his apprenticeship with the brilliant and renowned Dr Simpson. Simpson's patients range from the richest to the poorest of this divided city. His house is like no other, full of visiting luminaries and daring experiments in the new medical frontier of anaesthesia. It is here that Raven meets housemaid Sarah Fisher, who recognises trouble when she sees it and takes an immediate dislike to him. She has all of his intelligence but none of his privileges, in particular his medical education. With each having their own motive to look deeper into these deaths, Raven and Sarah find themselves propelled headlong into the darkest shadows of Edinburgh's underworld, where they will have to overcome their differences if they are to make it out alive.
Published 2018; 409 pages. And I just discovered this is a pseudonym for Christopher Brookmyre who I've read previously.
I have a couple others that I'm contemplating to start. One, a library book that just shook free:
And the other is a new release science fiction:
Still reading TWO BARE ARMS by Blake Banner.
I'd like to go home early this afternoon just because tired but I doubt that will happen.
I've got sprints tonight. I hope to just chill and read. Then go to bed.
Have a good day
Much love,
