A Necessarily Quiet Day

Today I am home sick.  (I was supposed to be watching baseball in Omaha with a friend.)  Tomorrow I’d planned to sew with my niece Arwen, but since her mother and I are throwing her a tea party for her and some friends on Saturday, I decided I’d better rest up Friday as well.  It’s time to make some liquid vitamin C and find the couch.  The only remaining decision: Out of Africa by Izak Dinesen or finish Les Miserables?  Or perhaps more from Historical Whodunits, a collection edited by Mike Ashley.
