Randomness

Just got back from Stillwater. It's the first time except my doctor visit that I've been out of the house in a week.

We went to Chik-fil-a for lunch, I picked up a couple of balls of cotton yarn (variegated in blue, white and yellow) at Hobby Lobby, and then we went to the library.

Checked out four bags of books, mostly gardening, craft and cookbooks this time.

Now I feel all weak and puny and worn out, as if I actually *did* something other than wander around the library and lug a few books.

Question: a few months ago, I remember hearing about someone who wrote a fantasy series in which Tolkien and Lewis were actually the heroes of the story--that they were drawn into other worlds similar to the ones they wrote about. I don't remember the author name or the titles or anything. Does anyone else remember this?

ooooh, four bags of books! While you're recuperating you'll have lots to read. Yummy.

*tucks you in*

[dreamflower]

Yes, especially the cookbooks. I'm hoping for inspiration for my Shire Kitchen recipe fic.

*snuggles in*returns the favor*

I'm glad you got out, but it's really something, how long this illness has lingered with you. I hope you'll feel lots better by tomorrow.

I'm hoping to feel well enough for church tomorrow. Between the DH being sick and *me* being sick, we have not gone once this month. And I really need to get back to work next week. My paycheck is going to be miniscule.

ooohhh... icon lurv! may i ask where you got it? i've been looking for sparkly fairy iconage, and i can't seem to find any...

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! :) This icon is made by the talented annwyn55! She is so very talented and this one really spoke to me!

[isil-elensar.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Yeah, I like that fairy too. I've seen her before, but can't remember if she was on a t-shirt or an icon. But she's very pretty...

I think it was productive; I found one recipe already that I'd been looking for for a while.

Lugging books is more work than it seems! Of course, it depends on how far you have to carry them, but I'm often surprised at how a library run wears me out even without the fifteen-minute walk each way. I hope you get some good rest tonight and feel better in the morning!

[dreamflower]

Yes, well somehow a bag full of books doesn't seem nearly as much work to tote as a case of milk jugs. But today it did. *whoosh*

I remember reading of the same fantasy book (don't think it was a series), but can't find any info about now. I think I heard about it on the 'Downs, but after trawling the past 10 pages of the relevant forum couldn't find anything.

Hope your strength continues to return!
