The boys are off camping today (well, last night, they'll be home later this afternoon), and I'm procrastinating writing (I've been writing, but it's break time and whatever) so a little bit of random to pass the time.
- I did manage to read The King's Messenger by Susanna Kearsley. More than that, I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Even though it was a slow start and two historical timelines instead of one modern and one historical. I'll definitely re-read it (which is more than I can say about her most recent before this one, which I am still confused by. Although maybe a re-read would unconfuse me? Unsure.)
- For now, I have set aside The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I just...don't care about anyone in it. I had thought I might watch the movie (breaking my general rule of read the book first), but then realized the main girl is the new Snow White and...meh. I'm not going to willingly support even tangentially someone who thinks it's in a reasonable plan to be insulting about Israel while standing next to an Israeli.
- A friend and I went to dinner last night (her hubby and son were on the same camping trip) and it was delightful. Afterward, we wandered through Barnes & Noble for a little bit. I enjoy bookstores -- the smell of books, the feel of them. But when it comes to reading, I really do prefer my Kindle.
- I guess I should have said this was a bookish random, as that's what it's turning into.
- Took the elder Sleepy Pup to the vet yesterday and he's healthy and happy. So that's good. He still is not a fan of the vet, though, and grumbles enough that they make him wear a muzzle. (I'm fine with that. He snapped at a tech and that's not okay.) Yesterday, though, he didn't growl or even act like he might snap, so that was nice.
- Younger Sleep Pup continues to be a puppy. Man...he needs to be worn out every day or he's a nightmare at bedtime.
