New Weird
Dina:
Well, and the new president is the one I dreaded. He won for a broad margin. I am confused, sad, and scared, but hopefully I am the one in the wrong and my people voted what is best for the Country. I do not know, I am utterly devastated, but I wanted to let you know.

Oh no, I saw the news. Only time will tell. I hope you and yours are well.
@all:
My mother has covid. I'm glad that the current version seems to be rather mild to what we've experienced before. In her case it's not the danger of the illness itself what is bad, but she would have had surgery next week. She is getting a new joint in the hip. But now, being ill, she will have to wait for the next appointment. Those sometimes take months. For now she just has a sore throat and a little fever. And she is annoyed because she already had to wait for the surgery for months.
The upside is: she will be home at Christmas. For which I am very glad, because I don't want her to be alone in some hospital. It's the first Christmas without my father and also it was his birthday.
Books: I am still not done with Olympian Affair. I think it is because the book is so large and it is not easy to read one-handed or take it with me. :) So I got myself the audio version. That's better. I'm in chapter 8 now.
Dina:
Thanks for your good wishes!
I am sorry about your mother having COVID and having to wait but really, it is so good that she will be at home for Christmas. The first Christmas without you loved one is always bad. It will be bad for you and your girls too, so it is good that grandma is home.
I am around ch. 20 of The Olympic Affair and quite interested but I've been busy and I could not read too much. Like you, I have some trouble focusing with the constant changes in each chapter (I mean, we follow different people every chapter).
I've been better of my toe but yesterday I did a short run at home to answer the phone and it really hurt. It was super sore all day, but today is better.

Doroga's Cousin:
Gwen is the best character in The Olympian Affair. Can't wait for you guys to read the rest of the book and agree with me. ;D :P
Boo, COVID. Not a fan, to be honest. I took the past two days off because I wasn't feeling well. Got home yesterday at around 10:30, laid down on the couch...woke up around 17:00. :o
Apparently I was even more tired than I thought I was, but the nap was nice.
Dina:
(((((((((((((DC)))))))))))))))))
Sorry about Covid! And yes, sometimes you need a nap, even if it is a super long one. I had one of those days a few days ago. I did not take such a long nap but stil. I took a nap. I think most of anything I am emotionally tired. This has been an stressful year. And besides, I've been sleeping uncomfortably due to the heat (A couple of days that were not so hot to put on the fan, but enough warm to feel uncomfortable. Luckily today, after a storm, the temperature is more pleasant.
Gwen and the aetherialists are my favourite characters in the first CS book. I still had no time to keep reading TOA but I hope to do it this weekend.
I also like Grimm, of course, but he is quite a more polite Harry Dresden. I think I am liking other characters in this book.
Doctor Who specials are on Disney+! I watched the first one and I loved it and I am looking forward to the second one tonight.
My foot was extra sore two days (after what I told you about in my previous post) but it is much better now.
