Weather and Literature

Saturday was mostly warm, more so than Friday, and there are still cherry blossoms on the trees, although there are also blossoms on the ground and some leaves on the trees.

I’m going to make another attempt to read The Tale of Genji, a Japanese classic and the world’s first psychological novel. I have started on it at least twice before without getting very far, but I can at least make the attempt again.

And so to bed.

Shingrex

I dropped by CVS, and, fortunately, the pharmacy had Shingrex in stock, so I was able to get the first of a pair of vaccinations to prevent shingles. I had chicken pox in first grade, and now my shoulder is a bit sore, but it’s worth it if I avoid shingles, the Norwegian name for which translates as Hell’s fire.
