Well, here we are again. I only finished one book, but it was a good one. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time on the book I DNF'd. Blerg.
No new ebooks this week. Still no new hardcovers. I saw on FB where St Vinny's is going to be opening soon, but only for donations. :sadface:
Books Read:
40) SALEM: Blood to Drink (Jason Crane #4) by Richard Gleaves (5/7/20)* - Paranormal Suspense* - 5 stars. Not new to me but could certainly use more reviews. Picked after learning from the author's FB page that it was free.
Review: "Wow. That was one hell of a story."
Note: Sometimes right after I finish a good book, I'm left dumb and all I can manage is something like the review above. Then later, trying to think of stuff to add to a review - if I remember to go back later - is like... duh, what? Suffice it to say, this was the 4th book in a series I've seriously enjoyed. Go forth and read the series already.
DNFs:
5/3/20 - 50c at the thrift store. I finally gave up on reading Inferno by Dan Brown. Gah, I don't remember the other two being this overly descriptive, even amidst what ought to be thrilling, but it's been a while since I read those. I finally gave up. Maybe my attention span isn't what it was when I read the other books. :shrug:
Currently reading... After I finished Blood to Drink, nothing sounded really interesting - which sometimes happens after I finish a good book - so I'm not currently reading anything. I'll pick up something today.
What was on your reading list last week?

Thursday This n That
I saw this on FB, so I thought I'd do it here, too. What's one movie that you find uplifting? For me, it's The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It just gives me a happy.
Had a nice conversation with Owl a few minutes ago, me just finishing my first cup of coffee and her going to bed. Ships that pass in the wee hours of the morning are we. Thanks to that first cup, I was not a slavering troll and I was able to string sentences together. Seriously, before that first cup, I'm not much better than a half-born thing crawling out of the primordial ooze. After that first cup, I can say and spell primordial. Heh.
I'm thinking about going fishing this morning, you know, after Hubs gets up and I've fed/medicated the cat. We'll see. I have coffee in me, but gathering everything up and being gone by sunup may be beyond me. If I go in the morning, I have to be at my spot before the sun comes over the horizon, doncha know. Otherwise, I have to wait or I'm driving east right into it and blinded by the light.
Revved up like a deuce another roamer in the... Umm, never mind.
I really need to start wearing my reading glasses when I'm at the computer. Blerg. Getting older sucks. Speaking of which, I'll be fifty here shortly. Double blerg.
Yesterday was the 18th anniversary of my Dad's passing. Eighteen years. Hard to believe it's been that long. I told some bad jokes to Hubs yesterday and then said to the picture of my parents 'those were for you, Dad'. (Bad as in awful, not dirty. Dad used to tell some hella bad jokes - awful and/or dirty depending on the occasion. I don't subject Hubs to the dirty ones. They aren't his style.)
Kira Kitty will be like 84 (17 in people years) on Saturday. The grand dame of the house isn't quite herself yet, but on the road to recovery. As the vet put so eloquently, she's a sweet kitty, but you get the sense she'd rather everyone just leave her alone. Heh, her and I both.
I guess right now, everyone is leaving everyone else alone. Well, except for online. People are getting a mite tetched out there on the 'net this days. Duck and cover, people.
Okee doke. Time to refill the coffee mug and wander off to do other things. Have a great day everyone.

The Chaos Diaries - 5/6/20
So, yesterday, I wound up taking the cat to the vet. Thankfully, when I called them to talk about Kira's problems, they had an appt at 11am.
Now, understand something. My vet is in Arkansas. To the best of my knowledge, they never shut down AR. And the few things that were shut down were supposed to open on the 4th. Mind you, the only reasons I go into AR were fulfilled last week and before then I hadn't been down there in 3 weeks, so what do I know?
Anyway, while on the phone with the vet, I was informed that their lobby is closed. I would have to call them once I got to the parking lot and then wait in my car until someone came out to get the cat. I was not allowed to go into the building with her.
Well, at least they weren't making me wear a mask, eh?
So, down I go. I call from the parking lot and then wait for someone to come out and get the carrier with its soft kitty filling. A gal I don't recognize comes out. That's fine. I haven't been there since Kira's last UTI two years ago. New employees. Yay. She was very nice, even if she was masked improperly (over her mouth but not her nose.) :shrug: I explain everything and she whisks my precious furbucket into the building. Before she leaves, she tells me if I have errands to run, I'm welcome to do so. Umm, okay. This isn't really an errand kind of time we're living in, and I already did all mine, so I opt to wait in the car.
So I wait.
A while goes by with me sitting there reading on my Kindle. TGFK. Finally, the same gal comes out. No mask this time. She needs my authorization to run bloodwork. I call Hubs to get consensus and then give the okee dokey.
And I wait.
People arrive and employees come out to their cars to get their animals or give them meds or whatever. Another gal comes out to the truck next to me. I've never seen her either. And she wasn't wearing a face mask. The office manager comes out fully and properly masked to talk to another person. A gal arrives, hops out of her car, and jogs up the steps to the front door, wherein she looks at the signs plastered all over the front - which I assume read to the effect that the lobby is closed. She tries the door anyway. It's locked. She looks at the signs, perhaps actually reading them. And tries the door again. Dejected, she walks back to her SUV and makes the call. Someone comes out and hands her something. Off she goes.
And I wait.
Finally, after about an hour in the car (half of which was the drive time to get there), I set my book down, light a smoke, and get out of the car. It was lovely day and I really needed to stretch my legs. I walked around the parking lot until my cigarette was finished. As I reached my car, unmasked gal (Gal #2) comes out. I get just enough time to flick my butt in the ashtray before she is upon me. Apparently, the practice added a new vet and she was it.
She gives me the lowdown on Kira. Upper Respiratory infection, for sure. And the constipated kitty thing, which cleared itself up a bit in the carrier on the way there, will require some kitty laxatives. And Kira's got kidney problems. Because she's OLD. Meds for each of those maladies. Yay. The vet tells me she'll go in and get Kira and be right back out. Fifteen minutes later, her and the first gal come back out with kitty and meds. No masks on either one.
I pay the bill, get my receipt, and thank them for their time. I left the house around 10 and got back around 12:15. Would it have been shorter without the 'precautions' they didn't really seem to be taking all that seriously? Who knows. Was sitting in my car for over an hour any worse on my back than sitting on their hard wooden benches inside? :shrug: I know I missed chatting with the vet techs and office manager, like I used to do when they were taking care of Max.
What a world.
In other chaos news, they finally let my aunt's daughter go visit her at thegulag nursing home. This isolation has got to be driving my gregarious aunt batshit crazy. Even my semi-hermit of a mom has had it with this, and Crazed Governor Gretchen has extended the lockdown there until 5/28. Poor mom. Poor all of my family members trapped by that power mad witch.
Anyway, that's it for me today. How's things in your neck of the chaos?

Randomosity
I've seem some particularly heinous crap online this morning, so I'm giving you randomosity, because none of needs to hear more about the heinous crap right now.
Apparently, my brain has decided to skip Tuesday and go directly to Wednesday. Several times already this morning, I've had to remind myself that this is, in fact, Tuesday. I even started to fill out my timesheet, which isn't due until tomorrow. I'd blame this on the chaos, but I was like this before. Not that this crap helps.
Great Value hot dogs are actually pretty tasty, which is good because I bought a 24 pack of them on my last grocery run. And they're bun length, which is even better.
Hubs and I went fishing yesterday. I finally caught a fish large enough to bring home so I could show Owl how to clean a fish. Not necessarily germane to her existence, but hey, it's a skill. Anyway, there's one bluegill in the freezer. Now I just need to catch a half-dozen more to make a meal.
Since I didn't catch enough bluegills, we're having salmon for dinner.
We got some interesting weather after we got home. They were showing huge ass hail elsewhere. We got pea-sized and a bunch of rain. Livin' in the sweet spot.
The new neighborhood guinea hens are amusing me greatly. Not sure exactly who they belong to. They're hanging out around our property now, pecking along. Sure, they can be noisy as hell, but they're so funny, we get over the noise. If I'm outside, I just say 'hello, ladies' and go about my business. As long as you don't make any sudden moves, they're pretty chill. Plus, they eat ticks.
And that's about it. Hope the random helped pull you away from the heinous crap for a moment or two.

Sunday Update - Week 17
First, let's get something out of the way. Ugly and the Beast went live last night. Any errors, flaws, gaffs, screw ups, etc. are entirely mine. It's $2.99. Sleeping Ugly is 99c right now here in the states and should be comparably priced elsewhere in the world. And will be through the end of the month.
Yeah, so umm, last week. Well, it was pretty much devoted to getting UatB out into the world, so loads of proofing and editing and formatting, etc.
If you stopped by yesterday, you'll see I didn't read much last week because of the above.
Since I was launching a new book, I had to update my spreadsheets to reflect a new book in the month of May, which was tedious to the max, but needed to be done. It's done. Which is good because I had my first sale last night, too. (Umm, it was me. I always buy a copy of my books when they release.)
I did get some exercise last week. Unfortunately, I gained back some of the weight I lost, too. I blame that on it also being the week for my shot. I always gain weight right before I get my shot. No biggie.
Today, I have to do all the after-pub things - updating blogs and Goodreads and Pinterest and backmatter. I have to add the series info to Sleeping Ugly's Amazon listing, too. And marketing! Blerg. I'd forgotten how much stuff is involved in a book launch.
In local news, there seems to be a whole new flock of free range guinea hens wandering the neighborhood. They've taken to visiting our yard. And they ARE the silly, noisy, rusty-windmill birds I've been hearing since the newish neighbors moved in last year. :shrug: They amuse me.
I don't think I baked anything of note last week. The week is a blur. I need cake. Maybe today I'll make some.
So, what's been up with you?

The Chaos Diaries - 5/2/20
Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. Just my usual quarterly shot thing, so no big deal, but since I went out into the world, it's worth a post.
To start off, Wednesday I got my usual pre-appt reminder call from the doctor's office. In the pre-recorded message, they mentioned something about if you're wondering about the new rules in place, call. So I called. Their new rules are basically the same rules we're all following now - 6 ft of distance, if you feel ill stay home, etc. The only change is that they would be taking my temperature before they'd let me inside the office. Okay, fine, whatever.
So, off I went. Before I go to my appointments, I usually hit the stores. This time, most of my stops were either closed or unnecessary, but I did hit the Dollar General because I bought all these hotdogs and no buns. I no sooner walked in the store than I ran into my next door neighbor. He's a cool dude, but I hardly ever see him, so we chatted for a while. We were about 6 ft apart, but people kept walking between us. :shrug: Anyway, he's well and so's his whole family. Yay. He also talked to me about his vegetable garden and said something about bringing us produce when it comes in. Also, yay.
The DG was pretty chill. Only saw one person with a mask on. The store had the stuff I needed. I got it and got out. At the DG, they had a thing of hand sanitizer sitting in a lawn chair with a sign limiting people to one squirt only. Okee dokee. I didn't bother. I had my HS in my pocket for easy squirting. Which I did after I left the store and before I got into the car.
Off to the doctor's.
The door leading into the building had a sign on it, which I ignored. The door to the office itself had the same sign, which told me to knock and someone would come to take my temperature. I knocked. And waited. In the waiting area, I could see one other person. She was masked up and waiting for her appt. After a while, I heard her call out to Sue, the office manager. Then I saw Sue poke her head up with the phone plastered to her ear and gesture for me to give her a minute. No probs.
Sue came out eventually and pointed this new thermometer thing at my forehead. Apparently, no touch thermometers are a thing now. I was 98.2F. Yay for me. (Lower temps run in the family, according to Mom. Dad was always low.) Sue also asked me some questions before she'd let me inside - how I felt, was I coughing, etc. Anyway, I passed the gauntlet, so she let me inside.
Mine isn't a big doctor's office. There are probably eight, maybe ten chairs in the waiting room. There was that other gal and me. And signs in every other chair that we weren't allowed to sit there. Of course, the chair with the best view - the office looks out over the lake - had a sign in it. So, I joked with the other gal about the fact that there were only two of us and the signs and junk.
And she offered to move. As if that would somehow make the ludicrousness of the situation better. Of course, she was tucked into the corner farthest from the door, and like I said, masked up. I was all like no-no, that's okay. Then, I said something about only being there for a shot. She told me she was so scared of all this virus stuff she was there to get checked out. Umm... Okay. I didn't have the time or the energy to tell her that if she had the virus, she wouldn't have gotten past the door. I just picked a seat far away from her and without a sign and opened my book.
The rest of the appointment went without a hitch. The nurse was masked up. The office manager was masked up. I chatted with the nurse like I always chat with the nurse, even if this was the new gal and my favorite nurse is part time now. :sadface: Not because of this, but because her and her husband are in the process of opening a bed and breakfast - something they started way before this chaos crap. I felt really bad for her when I thought about it, but apparently, they're still working on the remodel, so this isn't effecting their business yet.
Then I chatted with Sue, because she's a cool lady and I always chat with her after I get my shot. She pushed her chair back so we were 6ft apart and she took her mask off. From what I understand, those masks get really hot when you're talking a lot.
Still, no mask for me. Yay. And they're re-opening the state on Monday. I don't have anywhere to go, but it's nice to know they're trying to get back to business here. I mentioned this to one of the gals at DG and she started going on about the re-opening causing a new surge in cases, etc. Of course, she wasn't wearing a mask, so I'm not sure how much this is scaring her for real, but enough to be gloom and doom about the re-opening of MO.
I'm sad for all those people who have been so frightened by the powers that be, they're willing to do anything to not get this thing. Again, I'm not scared of the virus. I don't want it, of course, but I don't want the flu or the common cold or food poisoning either. What I'm scared of is the economic downturn this country has taken and the rights that are being infringed upon on a daily basis. That shit scares the crap out of me.
Anyway, we're all fine. The neighbors are fine. (Ran into another neighbor on the way home and she's good, too.) Whether the country will be fine? Time will tell.
How are things with you and yours?

Saturday Reading Wrap-up - 5/2/20
It's the Saturday Reading Wrap-up and well... umm... I didn't finish reading any books this week unless you count the read through of Ugly and the Beast in preparation for launch. Looking on the bright side, I didn't DNF any books either.
No new ebooks either. This week, it wasn't because there weren't any good ones. I just didn't bother looking through the newsletter for new ebooks. I still have four left from before, for when I'm ready to dive back into those.
I'm currently reading Inferno by Dan Brown. It got better. Unfortunately, I keep seeing Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. I read both of the other books in this series before I saw the movies. This one it's too late. I hate that. :shrug:
Okay, since my turn was pretty boring this week, it's your turn. What things did you read this week?
