I got a couple of packages in the mail. One had more birthday books: Martereau by Nathalie Sarraute and Dark Desires and the Others by Luisa Valenzuela. The other had some cds: Dead Voices on Air: Hafted Maul and Asmus Tietchens: Biotop. Then later on I finished reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. It was good, though so far to me it seems she's most effective in the short story format. But this one does leave me with a lot to think about and unpack afterwards. In the evening Mary Beth and I did our Superlo grocery run. She's finally where she felt she could walk enough to go with me. It did end up being a bit hard on her (partly due to her shoes having shrunk after I did the laundry...they were supposed to be washed but not dried in the dyer, yikes!). Glad she's slowly recovering. Hope she continues to get better. And later than that we played some more Splendor.
