My Scorpio Book Buddy and CRYSTALS!!!

My plan for my scheduled hip replacement was to take the train to Charleston, West Virginia, Uber it over to the hospital, get the surgery, Uber it back to the train station, and walk the distance from the station to my home. Luckily my friends aka Earth Angels knew better and made the path a whole lot easier. Before the surgery, I was using Naproxen Sodium and Acetaminophen like M&M's. After the surgery, I took prescription pain killers as prescribed. It was back to the Naproxen Sodium and Acetaminophen for awhile. Now I don't need anything at all.

Ironically, my barrister friend is waiting to get hip replacement surgery hopefully the latter part of this month. He was planning on dealing with it alone. I know better. I offered to stay at his place and help him get through the difficult part. He thinks he will need help for only a few days. I know better.

I assured him the help is unconditional. He doesn't have to pay me, love me, or anything. I had earth angels help me get through those difficult days, now it's my time to be someone else's earth angel. It will actually be fun to have a man to pamper for a week or so. He says he doesn't want a relationship which is fine. If I can't have the love story, I'll go to the Library of Congress and find a good book instead.

Happily, I don't have to hop on the train and head to Washington D.C. I think the Library of Congress is Awesome and so it the DAR Library in D.C. Still, My Scorpio Barrister had a gold mine in his book cases.

He suggested a movie on YouTube, A True Story about a College President that taught when he was attending. I searched for the book that the movie was based on. $297 Wow! He gave me the book telling me that he had an extra on. Now he has me hooked on Stephen King books.

So he is NOT planning to have a love connection or even a FiretrUCK buddy at this point in his life. So we are offically book buddies.

The Tw0 hundred and nlnty seVen dollar book's dust cover was falling apart. I mended it with clear packaging tape. If I had gold, I would have mended it with that.

And so it goes .. kindness is repaid with kindness. Good deeds do not go unnoticed by the universe.

I have that book “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” by Stephen King. Overall not a bad read. I really enjoyed some of the stories.

THAT BOOK SOUNDS VERY EXPENSIVE TO ME. I GET MOST OF MY BOOKS FROM OUR BEAUTIFUL MEDIATHEQUE OR SECOND HAND FROM THE ENGLISH BOOKSHOP. NO NEED FOR ANY MAN.
HOW SWEET OF YOU TO OFFER YOUR HELP BUT IN MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION, YOUR FRIEND COULD GET A PROFESSIONAL NURSE AND PAY FOR A FEW DAYS. YOU HAVE MORE THAN PAID YOUR DUES.
