Word of the Day

Abbone - The agony or severe pain caused by attempting to stand or walk when a person's knees have seized up, primarily after a prolonged period of inactivity.

I haven't read a single book since I've been back here in Arizona. Sudoku is responsible for some of this. I've become addicted to Sudoku. Part of this is because I really haven't had the time because I was getting ready for the holidays. And now? I've started working on a baby afghan for my first grandchild. However, I fully intend to curl up with a good book tonight...or even later today. I've got several piled up by my bed, waiting patiently. Books are like chocolate. Addictive. I'm afraid that when I start reading again, nothing else will get done until I've read them all. So, I'm going to run around today and get some cleaning done.
