Deathly Hallows

Yeah!! Last Friday I finally felt good enough to start reading the new Harry Potter book, the Deathly Hallows. I started it earlier, but too many pain meds kept me from being able to get into it. Well, that and recuperating, I'm sure. Anyhow, I started it Friday after Shawna left, and of course read most of the night... OK, actually until 2:30 am. I finished it Saturday about 1 pm. The problem with reading is that I'm a junky- if it's good enough to read, then I do so until it's finished. I cook dinner, eat, etc., but I can't really sleep until a good book is read. If it's an 700-800 page book, that's a bit of lack of sleep for me! It's a great book, and I am OK with being a geek. Now I just have to get well enough to see the latest Harry Potter movie. I'm so bummed I didn't get to see it when it came out, but they don't have movie night in the hospital :).

We are getting the most wonderful rain!!! It started raining here about the 12th of July, and has been raining almost daily since. What a blessing, we have been in a drought for the past 7 years, at least. It's supposed to rain for at least the next 10 days, I sure hope and pray it does.
