Here I Am...Back With Books!

This was a very busy weekend...finished these...both were fascinating...

So...this one was a sort of dystopian historical fiction...Yael has survived the Natzi camps but only because she was the subject of experimentation by an evil Doctor. She can look at a photo and skin shift into that person. The Resistance is using this as a way for her to kill Adolf Hitler. I know it sounds weird but it was really good.

This one...totally dysfunctional family behavior mixed in with humor and amazing writing...it was sad, maddening, heart warming and triumphant!

Saw Peter Citera in concert again...ok...I finally figured out why I am totally fascinated with him...other than his voice being so freaking amazing that it's unreal. He is quirky! He tells stories. He is funny and often says things he probably shouldn't say but he is so sweet that no one cares. His concerts are just so much fun! I hate encores with a passion but his encores are incredible!

So...we got home from the concert at 11ish starving! PB&J and a tall glass of milk...yummy! I had an 8:20 knee injection appointment this morning. I am exhausted!

Here is the funny thing about these knee injections...

He sprays my knee with this cold freeze stuff...then he does the needle thing...I never look...because in my mind the needle is at least a foot long. I have one more to go...and finally...today...I have perfected the art of getting up from the table with more grace than ever...I do a half pull bounce off and my landing is a 10! What also is funny is that everyone at Rothman...it's where I go and they do all the major sports teams in Philadelphia...patients are either really young with sports injuries or really old with other issues...thank goodness for now I am in the middle. Whew! I am holding on tight to that middle! Plus I have to wear shorts...so I need these done before winter!
