I took Nemo, the one eyed orange tabby, to the vets yesterday. His eye was looking pretty bad. They did a couple tests and decided it was, in fact, a bacteria and so we got some antibiotic lotion to put in his eye and we're awaiting a call from the pharmacy for an oral antibiotic to give him. Worst of all, though, is he has to wear a cone, which is just the saddest thing to watch.
Spent the other parts of yesterday running around, doing errands. Picked up a book from the local bookstore that came in. Wow, are hardcovers ever expensive! Finished the day with a #beer, a #boardgame, and the #Bruins, which would have been perfect if the Bruins hadn't stunk out the joint, right from puck drop. Swayman played an amazing game and they still lost 5-1. Tonight is another tough game for them against the #Wild.
I was joking with my wife yesterday as I showed her my "light" holiday reading - Emily Watson's highly praised translation of The Iliad! Probably won't be finished in time to help me with my goal of 50 books, but I finished The Silkworm, the 2nd Cormoran Strike book, penned by "Robert Galbraith" (ie, JK Rowling). It was a struggle so there's no way I'm taking on the behemoths that follow. So that means I'll probably end up with 41 books read. Not bad. #books#IAmReading@bookstodon
Too much senseless violence in those “Galbraith” books for me. I got through the first one, but barely, and only made it about 50 pages into the second one. I don’t need to read that kind of stuff.
