Well… I started writing this on Christmas, since that’s when I finished my book, but then something drew me away (don’t remember what), and family came over, and then there was a movie to see (we went out to see Song Sung Blue), dinner to cook, and more movies at home (Lethal Weapon 2 & 3—we saw 1 on Christmas Eve), well, you get the picture. Anyway, hope you had a good Christmas (if you celebrate, that is).
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 31
Title: The Running Man
Year of publication: 1982
Author: Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman
Genre: Horror
Series: N/A
# of Pages: 212
Paper or plastic: Paperback
How obtained: In a collection I THINK I got at a yard sale between 1992-1997
Blurb from book: In the year 2025, the best men don’t run for president, they run for their lives…
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: The latest movie came out and I vaguely remember the first one coming out and then realizing it is a Stephen King/Richard Bachman story. I have The Bachman Books (which is in a pretty bad shape) and recognized three of the four stories. For some reason, I did NOT remember The Running Man. So I decided to read it. Turns out I had NEVER read that particular story. Have no idea why, either. The other stories are more disturbing than this one. Anyway, it was kind of cool to see how Stephen King pictured 2025 way back in 1982. Some of it was way off. Other stuff…not so much!
It’s foggy this morning and laundry day for me. Being
retired has its perks (like not having to wait until the weekend to wash
clothes!). But I do like my routines, so laundry day just moved from Sunday to
Friday.
What weekly chores would you move to a weekday if you didn’t have
to work during the week?
Happy Reading!

Happy Christmas and New Years.
Tim is doing laundry now and we're on an 11-Day Christmas Vacation. Really fun.
Even when I work from home, rather than out of the house, I think I still kinda do the same. I never waited until the weekends to do laundry. Just did them as we needed.
Tim is doing it today because we skipped going to Barnes. We'll likely stay in all this lovely rainy Sunday and do some chores, play, do some chores, play.
Ivy, If I waited until laundry was needed, I'd forget, I'm sure. I need that routine to help me remember.
Beautiful blog
Please read my post
I can understand that. Makes sense.
