Books

I’m trying to stay out of my being-stuck-in-the-house funk, but it’s tough. What doesn’t help matters is the fact that we’ve had the biggest heat wave here for centuries, with the temperatures being 40+ celsius for an insane amount of time. Apparently we’re breaking records from the 1960s. It’s hard to not be able to just go out or go swimming or to the lake or jump in a cold shower. I also think I’m gaining weight due to not really being able to exercise. And I was actually losing weight before my surgery!

I’m so stoked!! I woke up this morning to see an Amazon box on the kitchen table, and when I opened it I saw a book I’ve wanted for years. Pearls Before Swine is my favorite comic strip, but I don’t have many of the books yet. Since I’ve been feeling pretty cooped up after the surgery and haven’t been able to go out and get anything, my boyfriend ordered this from my amazon wishlist for me!! For those of you who have never read Pearls, you should definitely check it out. They have several books out now, so far my favourite ones are BLTs Taste So Darn Good, This Little Piggy Stayed Home, and The Sopratos.

I was at the library today looking for books to read during my recovery time. I’ve already picked up some random craft kits and DVDs, but I enjoy reading and rarely get the chance to read anything that’s not a textbook. So this is the perfect opportunity! I got one book that I started reading the first couple pages of, and couldn’t put it down! My friends and boyfriend are saying, “What are you doing girl, you should be active while you still can!” but it’s great. The book is called The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. It’s fantastic. I literally read the whole thing in days, it’s that good.

One week to go! And boy am I working a lot this week…
