At work yesterday I played a dangerous game of “No Problem. I got this.” I needed to move three dining tables, and two book shelves from two different locations to one. “No problem!” I said, “I got this!” So off I went loading and unloading my mini van. By the afternoon I was done and decided I should do a little gardening to spruce up the backyard for my in-laws visit on Friday. No problem. I got this. So I pulled weeds, trimmed trees, planted a few little gems I had bought at a cute little nursery over the weekend, and moved a few garden decorations around. I took a step back and admired the garden. It looked fantastic. I KNEW I COULD DI IT!! Then I sat down. No issues there, all was good. I sipped some water and took a second to relax. Then I had an idea. That one little plant sure would look cute on the other side of the yard. I tried to get up. Nope….my body said no. Have you ever argued with your body? Strange conversation it is. Your brain may think it’s in control, but in reality, once the body decides it’s not going to do something, the brain loses the battle quick. Thankfully hubby moved me to the couch and after a few hours, he moved me to bed. I am a bit slow this morning, but that garage ain’t gonna clean itself!! I Got THIS!!!

Fleeing The Jurisdiction (The Derry Women Series Book 3)
by Gerald Hansen
Genre: Literature & Fiction | Contemporary Fiction | Literary Fiction | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
PLEASE NOTE: Although this book is part of the DERRY WOMEN SERIES, there is no cliffhanger. It is true that the characters get older as the series progresses, but each book is a complete story, and can be enjoyed without having read the previous book.
It’s danger on the high seas for the Barnetts, but will it come from the authorities, Mother Nature or family Flood?
In Wisconsin six years ago, Ursula Barnett accidentally committed a shocking crime. The statute of limitations is inching closer, and the police are circling in. Panicked, Ursula books herself and her American family passage on a budget centennial Titanic cruise, hoping to ride out the investigation and embark a woman redeemed.
But lurking amongst the leaky walls of the Queen of Crabs is a danger worse than disgruntled, poorly-paid staff, bad food and terrifying onshore excursions: her Irish family, still resentful of the Barnett’s lottery win years earlier. Sister-in-law Fionnuala Flood, knowing Ursula is a sitting duck for the next twelve days, rallies the family to retaliate, stopping at nothing to drag lady of leisure Ursula back down into the gutter that is their own life. The Queen of Crabs, though, is not Derry, Northern Ireland, but an alien battlefield, where the Barnetts and Floods find more enemies lurking outside the family than within.
Fleeing The Jurisdiction is equal parts Titanic, Love Boat and Voyage of the Damned, a darkly comic story of family relationships, the politics of envy and, perhaps, some personal redemption.
