Surviving the Storms

I have finished all of the Stephanie Plum series. (number books & between the numbers)

Last night, I started Manhunt by Janet Evanovich. I did not go to bed until it was finished. It was a quick read, a good read, but I felt it was rushed at the end. It was still good though.

I’ve been trying to get into Stephenie Meyer’s The Host. I start to get into it, and then get sidetracked and find it hard to get back into it again. I think I need to start it back at the beginning again when I have time to read deep.  I was having too much trouble with it and that’s when I put it aside for another Janet Evanovich book. (lighter and fun)

On another note, please keep my best friend, Sasha’s dad in your thoughts and prayers. His name is Dave, or as we call him, Grandpa Dave. On Saturday, April 11, he was life-lined to Indianapolis with a severe stroke. He had surgery that night (middle of the night/early morning hours) to stop a brain bleed. He is doing well now, but still in ICU, still in pain (in his neck from the incision area and nerves being messed with). The final diagnosis has yet to be given, but the family is thinking it was an aneurysm and not a stroke b/c of that brain bleed and b/c Dave can remember details, move his limbs, talk, etc. This is a very trying, stressful time for the entire family. They are traveling 2 hours each way to stay with him, each of his kids taking turns staying during the night and day with him.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

I’ve been in a funk. A lot of headaches, mainly due to seasonal changes and sinus. Also spending a lot of my time doing nothing…except reading. I’m not knitting as much, not spending time online… I want warm weather. I want to go outside and let the kids be free in the sunshine and warmth. I want to sow my seeds into a garden. I want to build a salad table. (Check out Jason’s salad table…that’s what I want to make.)

Mother Nature, please give into my needs. (yep, it’s now time for begging and pleading)
