It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
We got some serious rain on Tuesday. Over two inches, at least in my part of Los Angeles County. And it was cold. Almost felt like winter. We don't typically get rain in October, although it can happen. We can always use rain, so it's nice to have. Hopefully, more is coming over the winter.
Fortunately, the weather is warming up again some. Why do I say that? Because Saturday, I had my only mud run of the year. What's a mud run? It's a run where there are obstacles, some of which are mud pits you have to run through or crawl through. When I first started doing them in 2010, there were lots, and I'd do several each year. I always knew they were a fad, and they were starting to die out before Covid really killed them. But there is one over is San Bernardino County still , and it worked with my schedule this year.
I'd done it once before about 10 years ago. I'd forgotten just how bad the hills are. Steep with little to make sure you aren't going to slide by down. And the bottom of the mud pits was soft and silty, which meant my shoes REALLY filled up. But I survived!
I had lunch with a friend who lives in the area afterwards. It's always fun to get to spend some time with her face to face.

Book Haul:
Just one book to tell you about this week since my second pre-order hasn't arrived yet. That means it is seed for next week.
The book I got was a pre-order - Five Golden Wings by Donna Andrews. It's this year's Christmas entry in the Meg Langslow series. As is tradition, I will be saving it for December. We'll see how close to Christmas I actually wind up reading it. It's book 38 in the series, and yes, I've read them all to date.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm in the middle of two books at the moment. I know, something I rarely do.
On the physical book front, I'm working on The Tightrope Walker by Dorothy Gilman. As big a fan as I am of the author's Mrs. Pollifax books (I stole Carstairs from that series and have read them multiple times), I just started reading her stand alones a few years ago, and I'm very slowly making my way through them. I don't know why I hesitated so long because I'm enjoying them, and this is no exception.
With the driving I had to do for the mud run, I am also working on an audio book. Yes, that's the reason I got The Ghostway by Tony Hillerman, which I talked about last week. As expected, I'm enjoying this one, too.
Hope you have a good week!
