Most of my friends here are readers. I loaned a book to one who doesn't read a lot, and he returned it in the box beside my door recently. He'd had the book for weeks. Actually, months, I think. You want to know which book. This one:
We'll Prescribe You a Cat ~ by Syou Ishida, translated by E. Madison Shimoda, 2024, literary fiction, 304 pages
I told you all about it HERE, so I won't repeat myself. Click that link to read all about the book. My non-reader neighbor left me a note, saying, "B — Thanks so much for sharing this sweet book! It brought lots of sweet memories + smiles." Then he drew a cat's face, with ears and whiskers.
Here's what I posted this week:
- On Tuesday, I wrote about a neighbor who took me out to lunch for my birthday. She wrapped up four big boxes of tissue as my gift because of my "post nasal drip." When I told her that I have a runny nose because of my spring allergies, she doubled down and insisted that I have post nasal drip. I use tissue to wipe my runny nose, but I do NOT cough it out of my mouth. Sorry, if that's too much information, but her insistence made me blog about the difference between having a runny nose and having post-nasal drip, HERE.
- On Wednesdays, I often write about words and phrases, so "glitch in the matrix" was the subject that day, HERE.
- On Thursday, I attended the first of eight classes on fall prevention, and I smiled when the instructor mentioned "endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility." That was the focus in the classes I led here several years ago, using free booklets from Go4Life. That class was my focus on Thursday, HERE.
- Friday's subject was a book on National Parks in North America, HERE.
- On Saturday, I wrote about a children's picture book someone (probably visiting an elderly relative here at my facility for senior living) had left in our library, HERE.

Good to hear that you found a book to interest your neighbor!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful when someone returns a borrowed book and expresses their appreciation for sharing it with them.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about health, but I know my dad has a lot of trouble with a drippy nose, and his eye doctor told him it's because his nose and eyes are too dry and trying to compensate.
