I missed Banned Books Week. Again.

I had a stack of books, all either challenged themselves or by challenged authors, labeled and ready to go, and I didn't release a single one this week. Get up, go to work, come home. That's the routine. And I'm so worn out by the time I get home each evening, I can't bear to go back out to commit random acts of literature. Same thing happened last year. *sigh* Some day I'll get my act together.

It's been a lazy weekend here in the avanta7 household. I went to the laundrymat today (and forgot to take those books with me). Spouse cleaned his office yesterday and discovered carpet under all that junk. He mowed the yard today. I finished two books and started a third. Thus is the sum of our accomplishments.

Mom called this morning. Grandma has chronic leukemia, which is common in elderly folks, Mom says. Grandma's doctors won't be treating it, just monitoring. Her 97th birthday is coming up in three weeks. And my sister is having surgery in three weeks to remove some benign tumors on her thyroid. My youngest nephew's birthday is Wednesday. He'll be 12. I can't believe he's that old already. And his baby sister turned three last month. Time passes so quickly.

The weather today has been cool and overcast. I've had the windows open to catch the fresh breezes and air out the house. It's been lovely.
