TBR 2026

71. Treasures of Falcon Point (Falcon Point series Book 5) by Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey suspense romance. It was a fun surprise when a brief scene took you to Finsbury Park; the summer I lived in London, Finsbury Park was the closest tube station. Heartwarming. Page-turning. A satisfying end to the series. I'll be rereading this series, again.  

72. An Engagement of Convenience (Summer House Party/Timeless Regency Collection Book 4) by Regina Scott Regency romance. First book by this author for me. An enjoyable read. I want to read another of her books.

73. A Perfect Match (Summer House Party/Timeless Regency Collection Book 4) by Donna Hatch Regency romance. Delighted to learn it's a prequel to a longer novel. Added to my Wish List.

74. The Paupers' House Party (Summer House Party/Timeless Regency Collection Book 4) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Delightfully hilarious. Loved this story! 

75. The Elijah Project: Workbook by Andrea M. Polnaszek, LCSW, inspirational nonfiction based on aligning life with Elijah's, his courage, discouragement, and worship. 

REAL 29 June 2026

Survived unexpectedly well the work of clearing the bedroom and living room for spraying by the exterminator. It is a relief to see no live bugs and no bites. Thanks God! Sleeping better, though I miss being able to put my feet up in bed; the ankle swelling is not fun, but moving my feet in circles and back and forth helps a little. A few short walks. Physical therapy. Eating is good some days not so much others. Working on it.

Instead of creating super viruses, how about spending all that money and research into eradicating bed bugs. Wait...maybe wait... Rumor has it somebody released a mosquito that is supposed to eradicate mosquitoes. We'll see. Maybe we should see how this works out before we go any further with other bugs. Man's brilliant ideas to make the world a better place tend to make it much worse, when God is not part of the plan. All that is good comes from God. Man is not God. God sure puts up with a lot of shenanigans from us.

One more day before the exterminator comes. More stuff thrown away. All the clothes in the trunk of the car. All the drawers empty in the bedroom. Not eating much; too stressed. Sleep is a nightmare. Grateful when I'm able to sleep peacefully, but some nights bugs invade. Tough to sleep then. Faith and trust are being thoroughly exercised.

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

Father's Day is Sunday

Memories flood in and tears gather. My dad was nowhere near perfect, but neither am I. I miss laughing with him. I miss talking things over with him. I miss helping him in the yard. I miss knowing he was there.

REAL 15 June 2026

Fighting bed bugs is a workout. Eating is down. Sleep is weird; no sleeping nightmares but waking up to BB is a waking nightmare. Anxiety is through the roof, even as I endeavor to trust God. Filling bags to throw away. Tossing full bags in a big bin. Vacuuming almost every day. Heart racing every time I find a live one and worse when it's on me. Doing what I'm able with spray and diatomaceous earth - not at the same time - spray then a week plus later DE. DE takes time: First the little monsters must wander through it, and then it takes time to do the job. However, it does do the job. DE is the one thing to which they do not develop an immunity. And the most important thing: Banishing the adversary and all his minions, including the monsters, to God's throne to do with what He will by the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ. The adversary MUST obey. There truly is power in the name of Jesus. I know plenty of people will mock me, but go ahead. God is good. Jesus is the true King. I will praise God even in the scary middle of this mess.  Giving the adversary to Him calms my heart and gives me hope.
