Authors and rainy days!

The day in spite of the threat of Bonnie not completely out of the area we only got our thunderstorms around three this afternoon, and showers are continuing as I write this tonight.
No pool for me with that rain cooled water this morning too chilly and that was just fine with me since I had a good book to read by an author that we just discovered.
Bob Morris is the author who is a professor at a central Florida college and resides in Winter Park.
He’s written perhaps a half dozen books that we will most likely search out to read since we enjoyed the one we just finished, ‘Baja Florida’.
The other author who I found in the new section is a Californian from LA and her name is Sue Ann Jaffarian who is a plus-size cute middle-aged and single quirky mystery writer who is both in her character and herself paralegals.
Very new in her endeavors since we noticed so far she has only written three, which we have read two of, “Too Big to Miss” and "The Curse of the Holy Pail”.
Her books are quite a bit different from our usual realm of mysteries readings of more main stream authors but quite entertaining just the same.

My day was rather quiet as you can imagine with only stopping the read-a-thon for meals and to clean a portion of our frig.
By in large it was a pleasant non stressful day.

That’s why it irks me when my body acts up on me.
I did get up periodically to prevent stiffness as we all know from sitting too long, and in spite of my do diligence I am in pain from I do believe my arthritis not the MS, although my eyes have become worse.
My right eye must have a cataract that has gotten worse since January when I was last at the eye doc’s.
I know reading like how I have been could put a strain on any eyes.
But I suppose with my eye issues the detached vitreous and Neva and cataract not to mention the MS; blurry is not that unusual I suspect?

My neck and shoulders too today have been acting up pain wise, it could be the rain or as the doctor’s say the low barometric pressure which is not an old wife’s tale. It really does have an effect on arthritis.

The wonderful doctor that I went to yesterday that I mentioned said that one of my medications, the Statin at 40 MG. can cause liver damage, oh great! But the labs should let me know, it’s been a year and a half since they were checked, and now I have the prescription to take care of it.

My skin on my shoulders is now peeling and the doctor said that it appears to be Keratosis which can be precancerous, oh great; which is why I will be seeing the other doctor as soon as he has an opening.

I know I mentioned briefly why I was getting all those labs and these are more specifics.
Stomach issues too came up and they too will be addressed with my lab testing, thankfully; for peace of mind. At least I hope for no other significant reasons.
Have I bored you enough tonight?
I will stop now, since I am boring myself.

Just one more thing last night it was movie night here in our little world and we watched the ‘Bounty Hunter’, with Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler; with mixed reviews from both Hubby and myself, parts were funny but not the rolling in the isles type of funny and for those two seasoned actors it was not their best in their realm of Romantic Comedies, which they have both done better.

On those critical words of my unabashed non requested opinion I will bid you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
