Wednesdays are Not Wordless. In My World, No Day Is
May 23, 2007
Mom is home! Yay. She had what her doctor called a "99.9%" blockage in her right coronary artery. She had two stents placed, stayed overnight and came home yesterday. I finally got a decent night's sleep.
And! I knit all the way to the heel flap on the second Horcrux sock. Go me! Hopefully I'll get it done tonight, when I cave and watch the season finale of Lost.
I was wandering the library last night and am I in an odd reading mood. I must have picked up and put down 20 different titles in the new book section. Not one caught my eye. Not the novels, the mysteries or sci fi. I'm enjoying the What If? book but it's 843 page hardback. It doesn't even fit in my purse, and that's saying something. I finally settled on Anthony Burgess's The Devil's Mode and a couple of books on the Constitution and the Supreme Court. Mind you, I have plenty of TBR books at home and The Queen's Conjurer is in my carry around book, but....but....wait. Do I need a reason to get more books? From the library? I do not.
Tomorrow: The tale of a tiny cat and a huge lizard.
Tiny cat and huge lizard? I'm intrigued.

Tuning in tomorrow for the cat vs. lizard....

I am glad to hear your mom is home, although her condition sounds quite scary. I do hope she'll be okay.
I'm about to watch the season finale of Lost . . .

Um, warn me now if the huge lizard is a snake. Me hate snakes.
Yay for your Mom!

YAY for Mom. I'm so glad she's home.
And as for the library thing... yeah.. never need a reason. Even the fact that I have about 40 books from the library on their very own shelf in my living room doesn't stop me from bringing home more...

Glad your mom's home! And somebody has to take those books home!

I'm so happy to hear that your mom is on the mend -
Forgive me, but when I read about a cat and a lizard, Edward Lear took over my mind-
as in
the cat and the lizard went to we
in a beautiful pea-green boat-
(I don't think that's what your story will be.)

How are you liking the Horcrux pattern? Isn't it super fast?

Carrie- That's good news about your mom.
Why aren't we getting pictures of the sock? Where's the complaints department..............?

so glad about your mom, that she is doing well and is home again.
re the cat and the lizard - not an iguana, please. Did you read sometime back that Bob died?
re the books - have you read Penny Vincenzi's _No Angel_ trilogy? I have 3 volumes here with your name on them if you want them.
I loved them to start with, but after nearly 2000 pages of the multi-generational saga I was oh-so-happy to let them go.

Glad to hear that your mom is home...I hope she heals quickly, how scarey that must have been!

So glad to hear your Mom is home.
Small Cat Large Lizard. I can hardly wait.

Isn't it amazing how stents can help our parents' hearts? And therefore ours? My father has thirteen (!) but they are keeping him strong, as I trust your mother will be.

I'm happy for you two. :)

Great to hear your mom is home! And yes, go you on your socks :) I can only imagine the trouble Hez has been getting into, with that last statement of yours.

Glad to hear your mom is doing better.

So happy to hear your Mom is home. I brought a book home from the library two weeks ago and still haven't cracked the spine. I should stick to books on tape right now.

I'm glad your mother's home again. I hope she is getting better and better with the treatment.
