Library books to pickup. And two smooth skinned Navel Oranges at grocery. Beauties. Also a box of kitchen can garbage bags--husband says we're out..
I had a bad start to the day. Yesterday I read Josie Silver's One Day in December. About a young woman who is very sad one December and is on the top level of a London bus when it stops to let out and pick up riders and she makes eye contact with a young man sitting in the shelter waiting for a bus. There is an instantaneous "something" that they both feel. She wonders if she should get off the bus and he wonders if he should get on.....then the bus drives off. Somewhere in the middle I realized this was a book I had read before and forgotten to write into my book journal. It's incredibly good and very sad. It actually doesn't go very well for either Busgirl or Busboy but in the very last few pages.... what was that thing Paul Harvey used to say? ...and here's the rest of the story covering ten years? Or something like that. It's a good book. But you will cry. I did. But that's a good thing...flushes things out of the soul. I cried this morning remembering it.
I checked out two more books about Regret. Jane In Love and Kinsella's Twenties Girl. Jane Austin time Travels and in Twenties Girl a ghost haunts her great granddaughter.. to find her lost necklace. After all the Romance, I need a bit of Regret.
The USA Men's Curling team will not be playing for Gold. All it took was one stupid decision and that was it--Italy will pay for Gold.. Law and Order is starting over with Season One. I watched for awhile. Several of the paid cable networks are having a "One Month Free Trial"-- Prime and AMC. Prime has all the Masterpiece Romances and AMC has Mad Men. Tempting but so little actual Time for watching marathon tv.
We didn't have Football Pizza with the Super Bowl as it was on too late. So we are having Pizza today. Probably. I never really know what's going to happen at mealtime. Husband has decided to stop eating dessert. I suggested a smaller bowl of dessert ...as a try out while the dessert box is still FULL.

Hey Beverly- my library is small also and most of the books I read are from "away" as we like to say in Maine. Meaning from somewhere else. I have one more to pickup today- waited over a month for it to get here.
