Thanks for asking!     Gym updates have been supplanted by hurricane nonsense, con crud, and whatever other things have been occupying 100% of my bandwidth. Mostly, this challenge has been a bust. We will try again next time.

Is there, like, horse eBay?

Liam says you're very welcome and the cover art that you're looking for is Rainbow Rowell's Simon Snow series. Simon Snow, or, what happens after the Harry Potter series ends and the chosen one has trauma, a blank resume, and an foe-yay thing with Draco Malfoy:

It does. I used to have one, tea bags sit in the pot just fine. Anything that's "just add hot water". If I still had it, I'd prefer the coffee, personally, but if scary British housekeepers trained up in 1910 make tea, you drink the tea...     (I'm sure she must eventually figure out coffee...)   I think you need a bird teapot.

Much time juggling today. New haircut is good so i am happy even though i did have to ask her to take more off (she is still not cutting enough off despite me telling her it grows very fast). Got to both the appointments ontime and even found a book by the author of wicked based on alice in wonderland and a cool witches hat for Halloween.  picked a healthy lunch even though i was craving chips as i had a treat yesterday (yay, willpower).  had to jog slowly to catch the bus, but got back ok and it didnt even rain. Now i am just tired and a little foot sore. But was a good day

I sleep best on my side too, and have to be able to roll over. I don't think I would do well with an adjustable base.

Thanks, it is so good. Just what i wanted.   

Whelp, I'm sold! The look, the smirk, the pink floyd shirt! Rojo is done with Rubio's foolishness and Morena loves it.   Thank you Liam! Not books I'm likely to have picked up on my own, which is why recommendations are so good. Ok, if the fan art replaced the cover art on Other Lands, I would probably have picked it up.    

The transition from sleeping on my side to my back with the adjustable base has not been going great. On top of that the girls have been banished from the bedroom until we "get used to it". Which makes me sad. Mr.R is being stubborn and insisting we need to stick with it. I think he needs a CPAP machine if he's sleeping on his back though. I'm 98% sure he has sleep apnea. And he was having his leg go numb with our feet and head a bit elevated. And sleeping on his side minimizes the snoring/breathing issues and leg numbness. So I'm just generally cranky and tired. 

Yeah, I found it  really interesting.
