Day Two Hundred and Fifty One
The Big Sleep & Farewell, My Lovely Raymond Chandler Page: 235
I started yet another book trying to find something to cheer me up. Chandler isn’t exactly a bucket of sunshine but The Big Sleep went down easily. I’m still not sure what logic has hardboiled detective fiction on a list of classic literature, but it’s been a nice little break. I hope to finish Farewell, My Lovely and the last book bound in this volume, The High Window, tomorrow. Luc has an appointment with the doctor to get some immunizations and I’m planning on walking there and back. I’m also planning on picking some apples at an empty house down the street; I hope to make applesauce from them. If I manage to get the reading done and the applesauce made I’ll feel like a domestic goddess. Maybe. Oh, and I have a 6pm appointment to finally get my tattoo. I’ll post a picture of it and you can all see how cool I really am.

I saw a couple copies of Magic Mountain at bookstores this weekend. I kind of turned up my nose at them and said, “You are worthless.” Then I giggled thinking about the silly people who would actually pay too much for a book with too little inside.
Yes, we went to more bookstores this weekend. We’re going through “quality bookstore” withdrawals.
Maybe I’ll come play with babies today?

Babies are ready and willing to be played with!
