Book

It's weird because when I picked up this book, The River Road, by Tricia Currans-Sheehan I didn't realize it was a book written by an Iowa woman. The young girl she writes about coming to age was slightly older then then me growing up. I can relate to so much of the era of growing up in the late 50's and 60's and of course relate to being a girl who questioned everything. Her writing is really good and I think worth reading if you can get it at your library.

I love reading. When she talks about walking down the lanes and running through fields I can almost feel the dirt and smell the fields. It transports me to my childhood. I always thought I would love to become a writer when I grew up but am one of those readers who can read well and read anything, but writes poorly. Oh well. As long as others keep doing it so well.



Back to work today. They haven't called me all week so work must be going well without any shortages. I was lucky not to have caughten the crud that was going around a couple of weeks ago. It has been so wonderful to have been healthy and well after being sick every other week all winter. I was sick of being sick.

The photo below is one taken from a distance. Remember the rock climbers and the dog. This is how high it is.


I haven't heard from the doctor about when I will have the surgery. I figure, knowing my luck, it will be smack in the middle of my vacation. I watched the surgery on youtube. Yikes.



I have a feeling it is going to hurt and I also have a feeling I will be sitting up to sleep for awhile. He said I would be using a sling for a week which will end up aggrevating my neck. But. From what I have read I have a good chance of finally getting this shoulder fixed. I just hope he isn't as stingy with pain medication after surgery as he has been so far.



The weather is cool, in the 70's and not to breezy. That only means one thing. Perfect bike riding weather. So that is what my plan is. A bike ride. Read for awhile and then work. I get to talk to my boss and let her know about the surgery in the morning. Goody. Well, hope all is well in your world.
