Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

-

Hello to the end of September. Fall weather is here, have had some lovely sunny days to be followed by a few rainy ones. Good days either way for reading. 

I have my Halloween wind socks out and the fall wreath on the door. Haven't gotten any inside Halloween decorations out just yet, my black magic cats or pumpkins. Will have to see what Dobby thinks of all of the changes that will happen with fall stuff and Christmas. I have no idea how his past human may have done things.  

Baseball playoffs are starting, but my team, The Brewers don't play until Saturday. So not watching the games, but paying attention to who is winning. I saw on meme for "The Papal Series" The Chicago White Sox versus the San Diego Padres in the World Series. For those who are not aware the Pope is from Chicago and a White Sox Fan. 

Have been fighting off a cold the past few days, improving but still coughing the crud draining from my sinuses. Not sleeping great and making noises when I breathe. I hate wheezing! Not asthma, just crud in my airways. At least I feel well enough to get a few simple chores done at home.  


Shot Through the Hearth - a local entrepreneur is hosting a conference for budding inventors for things that will benefit humanitarian efforts. A few problems with former business partner, someone trying to steal and patent other people's ideas and a few strange weirdos! A couple of deaths and attempted shootings later, Shannon comes to the rescue. 

Some Bright Nowhere - Claire and Eliot have been married for nearly 40 years. Claire has terminal cancer and has decided to end treatment and go into hospice. Eliot has been her caregiver during all of this but now as the end nears Claire is pushing him away in favor of some of her female friends. The decision is breaking Eliot's heart and can he or will he accept this or will he fight.

Apple in China - follows the path that Apple took in manufacturing over the years. From being based in the US, to Taiwan and then to mainland China. The steps, missteps and geopolitical forces that have affected the company over the past few decades. I looked at my latest iPhone, it was made in India. 






 Happy Reading!

    Heck, I'd loan my address to anyone, if it means they'd get a library card.
    At our library, we have Zumba classes, yoga classes, knitting, sewing, crafts groups, study groups, book groups, plus engaging with the community with garden plants and seeds, tools to check out, and ask any employee and they'll help you find what you need.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
