Return to reality

It must seem as if I do more disappearing acts than Houdini, but I had the second cataract surgery this week, and this time it was not as easy. I had one bad day with a lot of discomfort and my vision was so blurred that I wished I could trade Holly in for a Seeing Eye dog. But thankfully, I am doing much better now and very grateful that it is over and done with. It is nice to be able to use the computer again, too; I’ve been working today on a Goodreads Q & A session which has been a lot of fun, giving me an opportunity to talk about writing in general and Ransom in particular. Next on the agenda is doing a blog about the trip to Israel. Oh, and I suppose I will need to get back to the book. I don’t know how much longer I can keep the deadline dragon trapped up in the attic; I hear ominous thumping noises in the night and his smoky breath has begun to pollute the upstairs air.
Thanks to Rania for so admirably continuing our Today in History posts on Facebook. Hers are always much more comprehensive than mine, as I tend to post only about events or people of special interest to me, and not surprisingly, they almost always are medieval.
I hope to be able to start posting photos, too, of our travels—with all credit to my official photographer, Ms Paula Mildenhall!
PS The photos can be posted only on Facebook, of course. Such a shame we can't do that on Goodreads!
