The backlog of mail is coming through. I have three new review books. One of them is dated 2012. I guess those fireworks were serious a couple of days ago.
Two of the new books are mathematical in nature. I was just deploring having forgotten all the maths I learned at school and the world (or Prometheus, the publisher) now conspires to bring my brain to order.
I have only one book to finish for the novel, since the book by Given (the one that has taken forever to arrive) was the fourth book in the mail today and I promptly worked my way through it. It contained nothing new and nothing that will change my direction, but it's good to have checked. It was enjoyable, to boot, which is a good thing on a hot day. Also, it makes a good precursor for that warrior culture book I reviewed a while back. They make sense together. I need to put them next to each other on a shelf and see if tumult ensues.
I have my dental appointment on Friday (not the same day as the funeral) and my big grocery delivery tomorrow. I plan to go to the post office after the groceries have arrived, and I strongly suggest that Chanukah present receivers who have yet to send me snail mail addresses email me or message me if they want their postcards and books.
I'm also watching Jericho. Don't ask me why it's easier to revise writing when watching TV. I suspect it's something to do with being single but having grown up in a large and noisy family. Tomorrow I'm contemplating raising the bar and watching Jason King instead of Jericho, but that depends on the Library.
It sounds very much as if life is mostly back to normal, doesn't it? Although I would be grateful for a snow flurry around about now. It's the exact sort of heat that melts me. It's a graceful melt, but it interferees with my lifestyle.
