Book 4 is very...meaty. Lots of stuff happens.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
They should make it into a three hour series then! Or maybe four! I could have totally done with a longer adaptation of Career of Evil (they should have spent waaay more time on hurt/comfort if you ask me. Like 2 more hours of Strike worrying and angstying about Robin would have been good.)
Okay, instead of stewing in my own thoughts, I'm off to see Free Solo again in local multiplex, because there is nothing quite like watching a dude trying to kill himself while climbing 3000" rock face without a rope that says relaxing, healing time to the soul.

Our wings are not tired.
Good plan, Vonnie! Excellent choice of distraction.

So those cluster of flea bites I had yesterday...are Shingles. Thanks to my pharmacist for IDing it, it was caught early and I have a Rx for antivirals.

Oh my, Sue! I hope the drugs do the trick.

Oh, no, Sue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad you got the right kind of treatment, Sue! Sorry it's shingles, though.
And wtf is this world, even. In addition to everything else, I feel bad that I'm mad that these shooters somehow are taken alive when so many black people are killed by police for doing nothing wrong.

I found out that a professional friend of 30 years+ has in-laws that go to that Temple, but because of illness they didn't attend today. Good lord. She'll probably have met several of the deceased at services, easily. (I can't help it, but being able to put a personal connection into it makes it seem more "real" and more awful.)

Sue! Thank goodness for pharmacists who know their stuff. If you get the anti-virals early enough, you escape most of the bad consequences of shingles, so yay for prompt diagnosis.

That's so good to catch early but dang, what a pain to have shingles!
Vonnie glad you checked in. I am so over this timeline.
I ended up having a good day, I noticed the weather was better today than tomorrow and my friend and I switched our plans to today, went to Snoqualmie Falls and to see the salmon swimming upstream, and lunch. Yay
