Mammogram Monday

I'm facing the dreaded squeeze on Monday. This time there's a possibility of a mass or lump so it's a very stressful time. In the meantime I have to attend the dreaded reunion trip this weekend. Now I dread it even more. I guess anything that will keep my mind off of the Monday event will be a blessing.

Almost finished with "Nectar From a Stone" by Jane Guill. I've read enough to know that it's a very good read. Another historic fiction. The mid 1300's with Wales as the setting. The hundred years war is over and if you're Welsh then your less than the dung on the bottom of a shoe as far as the English are concerned. Young Elise (half English and Welsh) has buried her family from the plague but was contracted to marry before her Father's death. Suffering a cruel marriage where beatings and worse were doled out regularly; Elise stabbed her husband during one of these beatings and thought him dead. She and her maid threw him in the river and took his money and ran. Unfortunately he survived and in pursuit. The journey is filled with interesting information. Fascinating that women in the 1300's we treated like those in the 1970's here in America without repurcusions.
