Beautiful Thursday

[nightdog_barks]

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. :-)

Go you! (Gotta love when the possible side effects are diarrhea AND constipation...)
I'm so annoyed, I just discovered that my public library is compatible with all e-book readers except the one I just bought.

Heh, I'm taking calcium supplements because one of the common side effects is osteoporosis, so constipation and I have already shaken hands. Whole grains and fruit help a lot. *g*

On that note, I must say that those orange-essence-flavored ~Dried Plums~ (because "prune" is such an ugly word!) are actually really good.

Heh, we bought prunes to make this fruitcake, and I've been snacking on the leftovers (and the dates, and the dried apples).

Yay for whole grains, fruit and nuts. And long relaxed walks. Fruit (fresh and dried) and nuts are so delicious I can never believe how healthy they are.
