Greetings from the Geriatric Ward – my loving reference to my childhood home and place where my parents continue to live. Today was a travel day for me so I could check on Mom with my own eyes. After a cardiac episode last Friday morning, she received a pacemaker on Sunday morning. She is still weak, but looks pretty good considering she was just released from the hospital 4 days ago.
As you can probably guess, my mind has been distracted this week as I checked on Mom’s progress. I did manage to make my way to the library on Monday afternoon to try to get back into some sort of reading groove. I picked up another novel by James Patterson and the next in the Harry Bosch series. I also selected a biography of John F. Kennedy, Jr.
Life was rather hectic this week since I would have less time in the office to get everything done in order to fly home. So I slowly settled into reading 21st Birthday, the newest book in James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series. I was able to spend a little over an hour while on today’s flight to make a rather significant dent in the book and hope to have it finished over the holiday weekend.
My progress in my audio books has slowed this week. They were causing me to fall asleep after very long and stressful days. I’m continuing to make my way through Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but I’m not flying through the books like I did just a few weeks ago.
So that’s where things stand. Hopefully, I’ll have a book review to share in the coming week. *Fingers crossed!*
