Shortly, I must toddle off to wildest, wooliest Walker Valley because twice a year, the Shawangunk Dems volunteer to pick up garbage along Highway 52.

I am not looking forward to it: Evidently, I wore the wrong shoes tromping yesterday because I woke up in the middle of the night with shin splints and am insufficiently rested this morning.

Beyond that, naught much to report.

I Remunerated (though, of course, never enough.)

I started reading The Great Believers, an epic novel about the AIDS pandemic. The novel is excellent and, moreover, written in a style that is so outside my personal stylebook, I won't find myself unconsciously plagiarizing from it. (That is an issue for me. Even in my dotage, I have an excellent memory for words, and quite often, I can't remember whether I wrote a sentence, or somebody else did.)

In the evening, I went vox with Ichabod who is getting a promotion in the PD universe which will allow him to defend people facing life sentences. The promotion comes with a hefty raise!

And for once, the kiskas are getting along and acting adorable.

I felt I learned from that novel, having been only a child in the years of the AIDS epidemic.

I hope your service walk goes well!

I was an RN during the AIDS epidemic. In fact, the AIDS epidemic is one of the reasons why I decided not to be an RN anymore. I am fairly clumsy, and I kept stabbing myself with blood draw syringes. Not often. But often enough.

The Great Believers is an excellent novel about the AIDS crisis. And an excellent novel in general.

I wore the wrong shoes the other day and paid for it, too. Ugh.

Congrats to Ichabod!!!

I too can be a style plagiarizer and its frustrating.

It is frustrating.

Congratulations to Ichabod!

Also, the kiskas are officially adorable :-)

The kiskas have their moments. 😀

Aha! Yep, scrolled back and found my answer. I was going to guess Shawangunk Dems, but I couldn't figure out (and was too lazy to search up) how to spell "Shawangunk"

The kiskas truly are looking adorable!

"Shawangunk" is even harder to pronounce. 😀
