Beautiful Thursday

Sunny, warm, birds singing. Watched a big blue jay take a splash-bath in the deck bird dish. Stripped the bed for new sheets, folded and put away some laundry. Finished Louis Bayard's Mr. Timothy last night, really enjoyed it. Wonderfully researched, an exciting plot (with mysterious kidnappings, breakneck chases, and an evil lord) that carries you right along -- I'm actually surprised no one's made a movie of this yet, unless everyone who might do so thinks that the Sherlock Holmes juggernaut is simply too big. Oh well -- at least folks can enjoy reading this very entertaining book. A strong thumbs-up from me.

Took my first Arimidex (anastrozole) today. 1,824 to go. :-)

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll take the book under advisement for when I have a bit of free brain power again.

Best of luck (i.e. *no side effects, no side effects, no side effects*) with the medication. :)

It really is an excellent read! It's not a new publication, so it's possible your library has it -- I purchased it used from Powell's Books.

I am certainly hoping for no side effects, or at least mild SEs. I'm handling this the same way I started radiation -- by putting my foot down and saying "Now see here, body, you are NOT going to act up with this treatment."

... well, it worked with the rads. ;-D

Heh. It's possible the library has it, but the local public library is by default small and only sparsely book enabled. (Whatever the bestsellers are, yes, not too much beyond, and reference works which are at least a decade old, typically.) I haven't bothered with it beyond an initial look-in when I first moved. The nearest academic library is much better supplied, but by the time you calculate fuel to get there I might as well buy the title if it's inexpensive. :D We'll see -- it sounds like the type of thing I would enjoy, so I'll make a note of the title and get around to it at some point.

Good side effects of lj: help me realize how lucky I am, always living at a short distance from a decent library.
