First, thank you for the kind words about Freya. Her ashes are now home with us, and I miss her greatly.

Okay. 

I worked 6 days last week as my roster is temporarily changing to Tuesdays to Saturdays. It means I'll have Mondays off and I am not upset about that. I don't mind working Saturdays - I hate working Sundays. 

Son of Mine turned 17 (somehow) this month and I feel VERY old. And tired. 

What else have I been doing? Working. Reading. Stitching. Getting colder as winter is coming. 

I've been watching Ripley on Netflix, which is very good and Feud Season 2 on Disney, about Truman Capote and his "Swans" which is also very good.

I finished The Hobbit, and The Warm Hands of Ghosts. AND The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie.

I've decided to pick up The Dark Tower again as well. I got part way through book 4 and stalled out due to the very extended flashback. I'm not a big fan of flashbacks in general and this one is something like 500 pages. But I do want to finish the series so I'm chipping away at 10 or so pages as often as I can. I've read about 100 pages that way so it is working.

I'm also re-reading The Lord of the Rings now that I've finished The Hobbit.

How about you? How's  your week? What are you reading?

First of all, thank you all for your kind words. Unfortunately, Freya crashed and passed away under the anasthetic. The vet even did CPR, but it wasn't enough. He thought she had an underlying condition beyond just the bad teeth. And I agree - between the Thursday when I took her to the vet and the Monday she had the surgery, she was losing weight. And she was only 3.5kg to begin with when she was healthy. 

She was such a constant presence, small as she was, and we all miss her greatly.

Everything else has just been ticking over as normal.

Work has been busy and mostly I've just been super tired.

I'm re-reading The Hobbit, and I'm also reading The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden, which is very good so far.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
