Knife of Dreams

Wow I just finished listening to the new Robert Jordan book 'Knife of Dreams'. It was sooooooo good. I've only been addicted to this story (The Wheel of Time) for 15 years or so. And after 11 books Jordan says he can complete the story in just one more book. I bought the audio book and a hard cover copy of the book Tuesday, and started listening to it in the truck while I was out and about. The only time I wasn't listening to the story was the time I was sleeping and believe me I had a CD in playing when I turned off the lights. But alas I finished the last CD today and I will start reading the book to pick up the things I missed. And then it will be at least 2 more years until my next fix. But I must say this was a very satisfying segment of the story, He completed and progressed so many of the plots and sub plots. I love that man he has such a talent for telling a story. No wonder his books hit the New York Times best seller list the first week one of his books are released.

I know you haven't heard much from me for several days, besides the book release on Tuesday, the transmission went out on my truck, and of course the warranty had expired. So that was $2200 I hadn't budgeted for. There have been so many of those little things going on in my life I just didn't feel much like blogging. But I have the truck back and I am going to drive out to Jim's tomorrow morning for a long weekend away from here. He has taken tomorrow off to have an extra full day of working on the garage so it will be ready for the Halloween party.

We finally got the last of my things out of storage and so now my house is so full of things I barely have a path through the rooms until I get the guest room set up, I have a bed frame and mattress and box springs and the armoire and boxes and boxes and shelves and the things that go on the bed and in the drawers and on the shelves and tables all over the living room and dining room and the hall everywhere except where they should be. Yes I know I'm moving to Jim's house but I have worked and waited on these changes for so long that I at least want everything in place to see it before I pack it up. My son Jamie and his girl friend Kendra will be taking over this house when I move.

Jim's back is so much better now but he is still on the muscle relaxers and the non prescription pain relievers, I just hope he doesn't aggravate it trying to get his project completely finished for the Halloween party, he has promised me he won't over do. But we'll see.
