Reading Dies The Fire again.  And a book on the Pacific war by  Ian Toll, the third book in the trilogy, Twilight of the Gods. The first two were excellent.

I have a project on the loom, and I've been putting off getting started on it because I know I misthreaded part of the pattern. I've been knitting and reading instead. Must buck up and get it done. Rethreading is not that hard a chore and I even have replacement heddles for missing ends. For a wonder, I didn't break a single thread warping the loom. I've got to get this project off, though, and get started in Christmas weaving.

Retirement isn't so bad; figuring out the money part of it has been a little rough. The hardest part is that I'm now paid once a month and the time after the 15th is lean. I have to pace myself better.

I've got a new family member: Jack, a shelter dog with separation issues. I think he was returned to the shelter multiple times for some reason. He's a sweet guy and does everything I tell him to. He does love licking everything. We've finally broken him of jumping on everyone. He is the bestest dog.
