August 21, 2014 – Day 5:
Today does not look like a very sunny morning. However, the weather forecast indicates that
it will be sunny with cloudy periods this afternoon and this evening. I guess that’s better than rain and cloud
only. As it turns out, it’s fairly warm
out, though humid, so even if it’s not that sunny, it’s not unpleasant being
outside today.
Today, I am planning on doing three things: continuing with my research and writing using
Alexandra Orlando’s book, working on completing the rest of my postcards, and
going to the drugstore to buy some more Tylenol (Ultra) pills that I now
need. Too bad I didn’t think of getting
them yesterday while I was there.
While at the Station Mall Drug Mart’s post office, I
also mailed the postcards that I had completed yesterday – the ones I planned
to use for advertising my second book in the United States. I should be able to complete all of them this
week in order to hit all of the mid-western and mid-eastern states. These are states that I have never yet
approached. Hopefully, there will be a
positive response from those Barnes and Noble book store owners.
I also visited the Coles book store in the Station
Mall because I found a very interesting book to buy called “I am Malala”. It’s about a young girl who lives in the very
patriarchal society of the Taliban, and because she believed so much in female
education and was supported in her beliefs by her parents, she was shot in the
head by the Taliban as she was riding a school bus home. Fortunately, she survived and was able to
tell her very touching story with the help of a reporter. I am really looking forward to reading this
story.
