My Vacation in the "Soo" - Part D - by Anne Shier (a.k.a. "Annie")

August 17 – 25, 2014

Thursday 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.
