Leverage: Redemption: This ep turned out better than I expected. ( spoilers )
Murderbot: Good ep. ( spoilers )
TV News:
SWAT Exiles: I’m not sure how I feel about this. Only one returning character. And the way he spun it as ‘change’ and ‘taking your lumps’ and being the ‘Tom Brady of SWAT’ made me go WTF?! For that reason alone I’m probably going to give it a pass. S.W.A.T. EXILES: Can Someone Make the Spinoff's Premise Make Sense…?

*flails* I can’t wait to see this! Love the casting.

The Day in Spikedluv (Thursday, May 29)
May. 30th, 2025 07:01 amspikedluvIt was supposed to be a no-shopping day again, but I ended up going to Walmart to get another wrist brace, since I figured I’d given the other enough of a trial. So last night I slept with a brace on both wrists for the first time.
I did a load of laundry, as well as the usual amount of hand-washing dishes and scooping of kitty litter.
I finished Exit Strategy yesterday and read some fanfic. I stopped by the library to return and pick-up a book. I also took a nap in the afternoon. Why am I so tired?!! It can’t ~all be the weather, can it? (Maybe I should ask my PCP to add an iron test to my blood work next time.)
I visited my aunt (she was getting a perm when I arrived, so I sat in the hair salon room for our visit), and held my daily telephone conversation with my mom.
I baked salmon for Pip’s supper. Once again, not my thing, so I made oatmeal and toast for myself because I was feeling chilled.
I also e-mailed some photos of one of the garage cats to the vet to see if they could give us an idea of what to do (he’s scratched a good sized wound behind his ear; we think he might have ear mites), but they won’t give us any suggestions without a visit.
Temps started out at 53.6(F) and reached 71.1. It was overcast all day with some sprinkles, but the the sun peeked through in the evening.
(Today I have the final follow-up visit with my surgeon!)

The Day in Spikedluv (Wednesday, May 28)
May. 29th, 2025 07:00 amspikedluvI had a chiropractic appointment this morning. I mentioned the bruised feeling after last week’s adjustment and he wasn’t sure why it was sore after. If he’d had to try a couple of times to get it to go back in, then it would be obvious, but that wasn’t the case. So I guess we don’t know and we’ll see what happens after this adjustment, while hoping it doesn’t hurt again this week.
This would’ve been a no-shopping day, but I wanted some fruit so I made a quick stop at Price Chopper while I was downtown and got in a short walk (one lap) around the park. (And another shortie later with the puppers.) I also got Chinese for lunch.
I did a load of laundry, as well as the usual amount of hand-washing dishes and scooping of kitty litter, paid some bills online, and placed an online order (and naturally forgot one of the main things I’d wanted to get). I grilled baby back ribs for Pip’s supper. It’s not my thing, so I had the fruit I purchased.
I started the next Murderbot story and watched some HGTV programs. I typed in ~2,500 words on my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
intoabar fic and got it edited and posted!
I think I very nearly allowed myself to be scammed by someone trying to get into my computer. I caught on (eventually) and noped out. I got a bunch of flashing error messages with a message that was super loud and everything was locked up and I couldn’t turn down the volume or close out of anything. It told me to NOT turn off my computer or I’d lose data and TO call the number, which I stupidly did. You know what eventually worked? Turning off my computer. Be careful out there, folks!
Temps started out at 47.8(F) and reached 80.4. There was more sun, which was nice.

Wednesday Reading Meme & Books 33-36 of 2025
May. 28th, 2025 08:28 amspikedluvWhat I Just Finished Reading: Since last Wednesday I have read/finished reading: A Fountain Filled with Blood (Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries) by Julia Spencer-Fleming, Rogue Protocol (The Murderbot Diaries) by Martha Wells, Now May You Weep (A Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Mystery) by Deborah Crombie, and The Hippopotamus Pool (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) by Elizabeth Peters
What I am Currently Reading: I just finished the previous book last night, so as of this moment I haven’t started another. I’m thinking the next Murderbot, because Fugitive Telemetry is in at the library for me so I have to get to that point.
What I Plan to Read Next: One of the library books I already have out, hopefully.
Book 33 of 2025: A Fountain Filled with Blood (Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries) (Julia Spencer-Fleming)
I enjoyed this book a lot. ( spoilers )
I already have the next book; I'm giving this one five hearts.
♥♥♥♥♥
Book 34 of 2025: Rogue Protocol (The Murderbot Diaries) (Martha Wells)
*flails* This story was so good!! ( spoilers )
I was so tempted to start the next story immediately, but I'm holding off, if only because I currently only have access to the next two stories and then I have to get them from the library. (I already have the final two books on request, so hopefully it won't be a long wait.) I'm giving this story five hearts.
♥♥♥♥♥
Book 35 of 2025: Now May You Weep (A Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Mystery) (Deborah Crombie)
Good book! I especially liked that Gemma and Hazel visited Scotland. ( spoilers )
I really enjoyed this book and already have the next on order. I'm giving it five hearts.
♥♥♥♥♥
Book 36 of 2025: The Hippopotamus Pool (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) (Elizabeth Peters)
This book was so good. Soooo good! It made me smile a lot. ( spoilers )
I can't believe it's been so long since I've read one of these books; I'll have to remedy that by requesting another. I'm giving this one five hearts.

The Day in Spikedluv (Tuesday, May 27)
May. 28th, 2025 07:44 amspikedluvI hit Price Chopper and the Feed Bag (which was closed yesterday) while I was downtown and got in a short walk around the park. I also went on a short walk at home with the dogs for the first time in over 8 weeks! (My legs are very tired after even two short walks (totaling .50 miles). I should’ve done some of the strengthening exercises I learned in PT (lying down, not standing) while I wasn’t able to go on walks.)
The McD’s app glitched, so I couldn’t use my usual coupon. They ended up just charging me for my hot tea and giving me my sandwich and hashbrown for free. *g* (NGL, there are definitely some perks to being well known and polite, though usually it’s just really good service and people smiling and acting happy to see you.)
I watched the current ep (season finale, how did this sneak up on me?!!) of The Last of Us and an HGTV program, and read some more. I also posted a new fic! AND I added ~1,000 words to myintoabar fic, bringing it to a close. I just need to type it in now.
I did a load of laundry. I also did the usual amount of hand-washing dishes and scooped kitty litter. I did a ham steak for supper, with mashed potatoes and peas, which is my go-to with ham.
Temps started out at 40.1(F) and reached 80.8. It warmed up pretty early in the morning (I had to change into shorts and a t-shirt when I got home) and clouded up a bit in the afternoon, though we didn’t get any rain.
