Thistle on the Road to Recovery

No stone, just an infection. Rick is bringing her home, probably even as I write these words, along with a dashing assortment of antibiotics and I believe some kitty analgesics, as she's in quite a bit of discomfort. As one can imagine!

I'm so relieved there's nothing seriously wrong with my girl. Pets are a special blessing--these strange little animals with whom we have so little in common, but who have chosen to share their lives with us. I'm thankful every day for the love and joy our little furry one brings into our lives, and doubly so on a day like today.

Books

Annie Dillard: The Living: A Novel
Currently reading.
Azar Nafisi: Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books
Part feminist outcry against the Islamic regime in Iran, but mostly a love letter to books. Nafisi looks at Lolita, Daisy Miller, The Great Gatsby, and Pride and Prejudice not only as works of literature themselves, but through the lens of students during the heyday of the Islamic revolution. My only caveat? It helps to have read the books she discusses.
Lauren Weisberger: Everyone Worth Knowing
I picked this up at the airport. After hearing about my grandmother's death I just couldn't deal with "Silent Spring," and this seemed less objectionable than Nora Roberts or Michael Crichton. I finished it, mainly to see if it could really keep up the flow of utter awfulness and banality right up until the end. Easily the worst book I've read since that romance novel about the Corgi. Avoid at all costs.
Amy Stewart: Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers
One of the most interesting nonfiction books I've read recently. Stewart examines the cut-flower industry, and you'll never look at flowers the same way again. A must-read for anyone who buys flowers.
