Oh perfect Dee, I love short stories and he tells them so well! Now I have an excuse for another outing to the used book store.

I see that, from the late 70's I think? That just makes me want it more. I can always get it online, too.

I'm so glad that you're getting some answers, Sleepie. That IS big.
I've been low on energy and just sitting on the couch watching TV a lot. Don't know if it's the months of gray weather or something else. I just went to the doctor and got blood tests and everything is normal. I take Vitamin and Vit K cause supposedly that helps to absorb the D. And I just started taking Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium combo to see if that helps. I just feel like such a lethargic lump. Blech. I have just enough energy to be excited for your test results soon. I hope more info helps you in some ways.

Aww Delf. Glad your tests came back all good. Did you do the thyroid one too?

Are you watching anything good on tv? I saw a lot of Netflix stuff lately. We are watching "Peep Show" too on Netflix. 2nd time around for me but it's been awhile. It's a Brittish comedy.

You know I hadn't thought too much about the thyroid but that's a good question. They did a TSH test but I'm not sure I understand the test results. I'm going for a follow up soon and I'll ask about it. I was excited that my liver tests were really good (ALT 7 and AST 12). So that was good news.
I'm a TWD and Criminal Minds fanatic, which is to say I like watching death and gore on TV. Lol. I love Mom too, but sometimes it hits a little too close to home. I'm glad they're really funny or I wouldn't be able to watch it. Have you watched it? I
I think I may need more comedy in my life so I'll check out your British comedy.

To my knowledge, TSH is the thyroid test, I had one over a year ago. So I think they would have mentioned it if it was off. Sometimes, people are just down. It happens And way to go on the liver tests!
Sunny days soon and happy livers forever Delf

Criminal Minds. Ok I used to watch it just to see the crazy 80's girl and Matthew Gray Gubler the "genius"... omg I love that show! It is silly as heck but in SO the best way... Sometimes when they show Matthew "genius-ing" in his mind they will show the Mona Lisa and Einstein and numbers and stuff flying around his head... it's so funny...did you see the 2 parter with James Van Der Beek? Or the one with Jason Alexander? That is easily one of my all time favorite single episodes of any show. OMG Jason... I won't say anything but that is one priceless character for him. I have seen "Mom" but even though I like both the actresses it didn't really grab me. I liked Anna Faris in "House Bunny" though...? I like those dumb comedies.

You know when you're reading, and you're all excited to join in- but you don't because you're too tired and lazy to type out all the things you want to say?
Well that just happened to me.

I know the doc I saw would have told me right away if the TSH had been off cause she's very thorough and really excellent . So it's prob not the thyroid. What if I'm just a lazy ass, Sleeps?
I totally love the campy stuff on Criminal Minds, especially the "geniusing". Best word ever made up, btw. I admit I'm a big fan of dumb comedies too. Chewing gum for the brain is what I call it. No mental nutritional value whatsoever!

You'll get a kick out of this; I'm actually reading Agatha Christie right now..
a Hercule Poirot mystery. I don't usually read much fiction, but was in the mood for one of her quick reads. You gotta love a book that mentions the butler's "rheumy eyes.."
