The Wolves are in the house! As I’m writing this, I have about 30 pages left of the book “Moonstruck Mafia: Boston” by Silver James. And I will have definitely have finished it by the times this blog pops up in the feeds. I’m just trying to get this blog done before I read, get distracted and forget until late at night when I don’t want to write it. Because I’m lazy like that!  Also, I’m so NOT a night person.

So the book — it’s long, well over 500 pages, but fast-paced with lots of action so it’s a pretty quick read (now that I actually have time to read after Thanksgiving). Honestly it’s several stories in one book so if you like to get more bang for your buck, this is your book! I wasn’t trying to be funny, but there’s also some banging…just saying. But it’s not as R-rated as some books so pretty safe for the typical reader. I think my favorite characters are Ronan and Maura. I especially love Maura, she’s tough, smart and knows her own mind. I’ve enjoyed the book and sort of dreading The End Which is also why I’m writing this blog first. Am I the only one who kind of dreads The End on some books?

In other “reading” I’m listening to “The Wedding People” by Alison Espach and I think I like it…it’s different than what I expected but I’m intersted so far.

That’s my reading so far this week. What are you reading?

Happy Wednesday!

A nice calm weekend, but dang, my knee is mad. So I’ve been upping my weight training, including squats with weights on my shoulders. But it doesn’t hurt when I do that. I carefully tested it to make sure and no pain. It’s walking, and even that usually starts off okay then begins to hurt. I’ve been trying to cut down on my walking and that was helping, but then yesterday I went looking for a wedding shower gift for my niece. Ugh…I walked probably two miles searching an indoor/outdoor mall type situation (and that’s after my mile and a half walk — cut down from 2 miles — in the morning). Now my knee is complaining. I don’t think it’s an injury, it feels more like a repetitive use/age/arthritis thing. Especially because I can calm it down, then I tick it off and it flares again.

In the good news, I got a gift I’m happy with for my niece. And the rest of the day, I’m gonna rest the knee. Maybe…cuz I’ve got things I’d like to get done pinging around in my head, but I’m trying to be smart. The weekend itself has been good. Thanksgiving is cleaned up. We haven’t decorated for Christmas yet, but we’re not having any events here, so we’ll do that when and how we wish for ourselves

How was your weekend?
