Apparently I need to go swimming earlier than noon. It wasn‘t supposed to rain until 2:00 here, so I took a quick walk, cooled down, and then went swimming. I‘d swum 300 yards before the lifeguard said they were closing the pool because of lightning in the area. 😞. At least I did get a walk and a listen in. I don‘t know how Liv is going to be able to keep her secret; she‘s already almost told her husband several times. #audiowalk
I woke up early this morning, and, instead of doing my usual thing (going back to sleep), I got up and went for a walk. Then came back and worked for awhile, and then took my husband to the doctor. Came out to it pouring down rain. I‘m exhausted and am glad it‘s Friday. I did enjoy seeing the heron take off and fly though. #audiowalk
This is my new walking book. A famous writer dies and leaves instructions that her cleaning lady is to finish her last book, and no one except her attorney and Liv (the cleaning lady) is to know that she‘s dead for 6 months. Can Liv accomplish this? We‘ll see. #audiowalk
During my #audiowalk I stumbled upon a “murder mystery” of my own… not nearly as interesting though.
pickBecause I knew this was an homage to a specific Agatha Christie book, it was easy to predict where the plot of Nine Lives would go, but I still enjoyed it. I‘ve read two Swanson titles and they‘ve both involved books as a plot device; I like that. The characters were difficult to connect with, for the most part, but I think that‘s deliberate. I started The Messy Lives of Book people on my walk today. #audiowalk
I liked Eight Perfect Murders, so I thought I‘d make this one my new walking book. I‘m a few chapters in, and I‘m liking it so far. Just a short walk today. My air conditioner isn‘t working and being hot all day made me too tired to do anything. Still waiting on the AC guy; I hope he actually comes this evening. #audiowalk
pickI went from laughing with Harvey to being shocked by some things to being happy for him to being sad when he talked about the AIDS epidemic (I remember how scary that time was) back to being happy for him as his career took off. I enjoyed listening to him read this, and he ended it in just the right place. I walked early in the morning today — it was so much better than attempting to walk in the afternoon! #audiowalk
Fierstein mentions that he, his mother, and his brother all pronounce their last name different. He pronounces it like his father does. I feel a little less weird now; my dad taught us to say our name one way, but he taught my half siblings to say it differently. It was hot out there today! #audiowalk
While I‘m enjoying this book, it‘s dragging just a little at this point. Maybe it‘s because I‘m just not that interested in Fierstein‘s attendance at awards shows. I‘m glad for him; I‘m just not that interested in the details. Still didn‘t get to swim today because of thunder. I‘m going to have to find a way to swim earlier in the day; the thunder is always in the evening. I did get to walk at least. #audiowalk
🎧👟 My boys are at run training again so I‘m walking on the greenway. I was busy taking a pic of the pretty creek when I almost stepped on this fellow! 🐍#audiowalk
