Five Things Friday #10

1. I'm so excited that the 52 Book Club came out with a Mystery Genre Challenge in addition to the 2026 challenge! Check it out here if you are into mysteries Mystery Genre Challenge

2. Still learning new car tech, but my phone is now linked with Apple Play. Practicing different driving situations - mostly parking and backing up as they are challenging with a larger vehicl, different visibility and a back up camera. 

3. Other people find money when walking outside. This year I seem to be finding unused poop bags. Four so far at half a cent each and I'm "in the money for 2 cents" lol. Keeping them out of the waterways though is good. 

4. Hubby went on a walk, tripped, fell and had gashes in his face that bled profusely so when I encountered him while walking the dog he had bloody hands and face. He was really shaken up so we got him home, our son came over and drove us to the ER where they provided compassionate professional care. Glue and steri strips instead of stitches, a CAT scan that showed no problems, and some Tylenol later we Ubered home. In the big picture, not very bad but distressing! As Hubby said, given the car accident and my being sick before this, "I hope this isn't how 2026 is going to be!" He was looking and feeling much better the next morning.

5. He realized we could cancel the service contract we bought with the car and get the money back. We drive so few miles that it wasn't a good deal for us. He called and made it happen which is great.

  1. Oh, my, I am so sorry your husband took a spill. That can shake us up for days and weeks afterward. I know after I broke my heel, when I began walking again, I was so tentative about walking off the curb, or walking on uneven terrain. Hope he wasn't terribly sore or bruised after.

  2. I am so glad that your husband is okay. Spills can really follow us health wise for awhile. Love the Mystery Book challenge. I am going to see how many of those I can manage.

    God bless.

  3. So sorry about the tumble and ER trip! If things happen in threes as people say, than including your being ill and car accident, this should be the third thing. So maybe all the bad luck is out of the way now! Fingers crossed.

    1. I thought the same thing! If only it was scientifically proven!
