Average Jane Goes About Her Business

Not much to report from this weekend. I did a really difficult yoga class on Saturday morning (handstands!) and spent the evening hanging out by a friend’s pool without actually swimming. I was going to take my niece to see "Nancy Drew," but I couldn’t reach her grandmother to set it up. Perhaps this weekend…

On Sunday, I lazed around the house all day, finished "Reading Lolita in Tehran," which I’d started on Friday evening, and read almost all of "Absurdistan." There was quite a lot of napping involved as well. I didn’t get dressed until it was evening and time to take my dad out to dinner for Father’s Day. Cagey is having a Reading Lolita virtual book club starting tomorrow. You don’t have to have read the book to join in, so stop by and check it out.

Today I had an unwelcome work break in the late morning to get a complete physical. Thanks to my approaching milestone birthday, I was subjected to even more indignities than usual and I have a prescription for yet another undesirable test once my b-day comes and goes. I also got a combined tetanus/whooping cough shot that’s making my arm really sore.

Tonight I’m fixing Pork Tenderloin with Curried Fruit Sauce and the whole house smells wonderful. I can’t wait until it’s done. I was scheduled to have a massage tonight, but I failed to put it on my calendar and didn’t realize I had an appointment until it was too late. Sigh.

My husband is feeling optimistic about his Bell’s Palsy recovery. He thinks he’s having an easier time talking today. He had a gig at a church yesterday and the whole congregation prayed for him, so I’m sure he’ll think that’s what’s helping. Hey, whatever works.

So that’s my life up to this moment. After dinner: a trip to the music store with our guitarist to try out different distortion pedals. Make the fun stop!
