Mine got smaller and my arch got higher. Explain that.
I have no idea why, but almost every single pair of shoes I had (or at least the ones I actually wore) were slightly too big after chemo.
still flat footed as can be though.

It was, yes!
I need to download 5 or 6 books for vacation reading. Anyone have any recommendations?

Because books.
Either of Gillian Flynn's earlier two books, Dark Places and Sharp Objects. I loved the last two Alice Hoffman novels I read, The Red Garden and The Story SIsters.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Shall I recommend a different one here than on FB? The Eyre Affair.

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is a cute episodic novel heavily influenced by Firefly. Except with more aliens. And more sex. And alien sex. It wasn't the best thing since sliced bread, but it's a nice lightweight novel, and it's pretty cheap.
Sherwood Smith's Rondo Allegro is a fun drama/romance set during the Napoleonic wars in France, Spain and England. There is a marriage of convenience, and lots of opera, and battles at sea, and evil in-laws, and so forth. I really enjoyed it.
The Martian by Andy Weir is basically Apollo 13 set now, on Mars: an American astronaut gets stranded on Mars and has to figure out how to survive while folks on Earth slowly realize he's not dead. It's hella fun, although a bit heavy on the science.

All of those sound great!
I think alien sex may be the winner though

I'm currently reading London Under by Peter Ackroyd and it's a pretty interesting read so far. [link]

You know they're making a movie? Which surprises me not at all, since it really is so very cinematic. I just hope they cast someone who can do comedy as the guy (I forget his name), because you really need some humor for a lot of that.
