Well, actually, it’s a pain in the shoulder that’s bugging me this morning. It started hurting last night and my first thought was “I must have broken it when I fell the other day!” But upon further consideration that seems unlikely. If I’d broken it then, I’m sure I would have noticed long before now. *g* The muscles in my neck and shoulders are all knotted up this morning, so I suspect that’s the actual culprit. I’m ready for science to come up with a way for me to get a new body.

Judging by the ads I’ve gotten in email this morning, the online stores are starting their Cyber Monday sales early. But I’m seriously annoyed with Circuit City’s website. I can get to the main page when I click on the links in their ad, but when I try to actually do anything once I get there, I get a “bad request” message. You can’t even contact them to tell them their website is screwy!

There’s skiing on today which I may or may not watch. It might make me cold. *g* Later in the afternoon, we have figure skating. Then tonight Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. So I’ll be watching recorded stuff, too.

Reading: I got a box of books I won in yesterday’s mail. So now with other books I’ve recently received, I have a lot to read. I decided to read them by the date they were published, so the first one up is Body Movers by Stephanie Bond. This is the first book in the series. When she was 17, Carlotta Wren’s parents abandoned her and her 9 year old brother Wesley, skipping out to avoid being indicted on criminal charges. Now Wesley is all grown up and getting into his own kind of trouble with the law. But Carlotta’s got her own problems, namely the hot cop, Jack Terry, who keeps hounding her about her parents’ location (which she doesn’t know) and the murder of her ex-fiance Peter Ashford’s wife. Also in her life is her brother’s new boss, the delish Cooper Craft. Coop is a body mover, i.e. he picks up bodies from the hospital, nursing homes, accident sites and takes them to the the morgue or funeral home.
