I’m continuing to mess with my books. As of today I have a shelf and a half of books carefully organized. These are books I am reading or ones I want to keep aware of. I finished Austin Brown’s I’m Still Here today. It was an interesting read. In a way I feel like watching someone learn the hard lessons living in white America are always worth rehearsing. But her insistence on staying reconciled to her church heritage makes me squirm. That’s more about me than her I’m sure.

While I continue to get back to feeling normal, Eileen is experiencing back problems. She thinks it might be from sitting and knitting. She just took a hot shower and is going to do some exercising.

Life goes on and I am grateful.
