More books

I wish I could say I have a favourite, but I tend to find someone I like in paperback and then never find anything more. I have recently found the Joanna Brody series by J.A. Jance. I have enjoyed the Jesse Stone series by Robert B. Parker, but had trouble accepting Tom Selleck as him in the movies. In the books Jesse is in his mid-thirties, and Selleck is just too old to believe. Having read those, I tried the Spenser novels by the same author. They really weren't bad, so I read his series about a lady detective--Sunny Randell. I have enjoyed some of the books by Lisa Jackson, but found some of hers just a little too "gritty" for me. For "light" reading I don't think anyone can beat Nora Roberts, and I especially like the books she writes under the name J. D. Robb. Another author I look for is Jayne Ann Krentz aka Amanda Quick.

Saw the Doctor this morning and it was my cholesterol he was worried about, which is a relief in some ways ( that it's not anyhting more serious) Now he wants me to take the Statins. We compromised, and I will be trying Crestor three times a week in conjunction with my Ez-trol. I will b ehaving blood test in mid-may. I know the cholesterol will go down, and as long as I'm not in pain etc, I'm willing to try it. This doctor is willing to write the government to have the Ez-trol covered by Pharmacare--at last!

I have some pieces in a local gallery show right now, and the group in charge have arranged for a couple of high-profile artists/crafters to come and speak about all of the pieces in the show. So I decided that I would rather go there than to the Quilters Guild meeting. So I sent a e-mail to the friends I was planning to see there and to the executive letting them know I wasn't going to make it. Then I started to get messages back expressing concern and asking if everything was all right, was there more trouble with my son etc. While it's very nice to have friends and to have friends who are supportive--never think I don't apreciate that--does this really mean that my friends think that the only way I would miss a quilters guild meeting would be if I was sick or someone had died?
