5. Have 5 senses check-in- What are you seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling now? Seeing my computer screen, hearing Speak of the Devil audiobook, tasting my mocha raspberry frozen coffee from Dunkin' touching my computer keyboard/mouse, smelling not much, lol, no distinct smells but the ac air.

6. How is your readathon going, overall? Pretty good so far!

- 2.75 stars Don't bother

Finished before going to bed last night. Woke up and my Dunkin' was delivered shortly after and the food is now eaten, still working on my coffee!
