What time is it and what are you doing?
11:58 PM. And another day is done and gone...I got pretty much all of the laundry done, plus ironing. Have a few things like towels and socks to fold tomorrow so, I'd say my laundry day was productive. Had a great run, and feeling a little achy for some reason. My sciatic nerve is acting up a little, but it will pass. I went to the grocery store, then cooked chicken sandwiches, which Mark has been asking for lately. I even managed to post in my Bookworm Buddies blog. Starting Thursday, Mark will be working a different shift from about 2 PM to 12 AM to do some teaching to the nurses at his hospital. It's going to be different for about two and a half weeks, and I have a feeling I should get lots of reading done to keep from being lonely. Goodnight GR.
4:24 a.m. EDT I really need to try to sleep, I only had three hours yesterday, but I'm feeling sort of jazzed. It happens sometimes when I end up sleep deprived that I simply can not sleep. *shrug* I guess I'll sleep when I crash. Meanwhile I'm enjoying this Star Wars book. I might pause before my other Vine book and read the other Star Wars book on my review pile, I haven't decided yet...

So today I am gonna finish Saint and then probably start Sinner or read some more of The Stand. My reading has been going well. Soon I will embarking on my journey with the ASOIAF series. Scared of it, but looking forward to it at the same time.
10:56 a.m just changed my avatar for a game with some friends, but it will go back to normal shortly. Otherwise I'm just sitting here, 'bout to brush my hair and then go scrounge up some breakfast.
09:03 pm here in India. Back after a tiring day at the mall.
6:25 p.m. EDT Well, the NetGalley Star Wars book never showed up on my Kindle network, to my irritation, and has now been archived, so I was forced to find it another way. However, I did manage to find a copy (yay!) so I can read it after all. Then I'll read my other Vine book. It's a muggy day in Georgia, looks like we may have a storm later, but hard to say for sure. All I know is I feel like I need gills to proper breathe!
10:10 PM. I didn't to workout today because I really didn't feel well. Feeling much better after laying down for a little while, and my sweet Gizmo coming up to love on me. Mark came home while I was folding some laundry, and since he starts his new shift tomorrow, he took about a two hour nap, and I watched the Rangers baseball game. We're eating a pizza, and while he's watching t.v., I'm on GR and reading for a cup of coffee and some reading. Hope all of my lovely GR friends are having a great night. :)

Now I am about to continue my adventure through Paradise with the 3rd and final installment, Sinner. This has been such a great read for me, I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Kathryn sorry your were not feeling well and missed your work out, but at least you feel much better now! YAY!
Thank you, Janie! I know! I was so bummed! I will just workout on Saturday or Sunday to make up for it. I hate missing my workouts! :)
Mod
11:01 PM and I'm watching Mean Girls.
1:20 a.m. EDT Having a most interesting and illuminating chat on FB
2:25 PM. Well, it's the first day of Mark's temporary shift change to make sure the night nurses are doing their jobs. We pretty much spent the morning together, had lunch, and then he got ready for work. I miss him already. :/ going to read a bit, then workout, then who knows? I might read some more. Haha! Hope everyone has a great day!
Well good luck Kathryn. When my wife is gone and I am home alone I miss her and I clean like a mad man. Once she was gone for the weekend and I couldn't sleep so I scrubbed the bathroom and cleaned the whole apartment. She was so shocked when she got home she said she should leave more often. I'm sure it will be a bit tough at first but it is only temporary.
2:32 PM got the cleaning bug. My wife and I are cleaning and the kids are playing. Good Jazz on my little speaker and iPod. Just checking in real quick. I also hope everyone is having a good day too.
3:35 p.m. EDT Just realized a blog post I needed to do for the weekend was going to be problematic. I specifically told the author to send me the pictures separately but she embedded them into the post. GAH! I can't pluck pictures out of a Word doc and they won't copy/paste, so I've had to contact her and ask her to send them. Again. *shakes head* Have to finish this book, I have so much more reading I want to do and am running out of week!
5:39 PM. Just got a shower after a great hour long run! Thinking about having a snack and doing some reading before dinner. I wonder how much of this book I can knock out if I don't get too distracted? Hmmm...let's put it to the test! :)
7:56 p.m. EDT I thought I'd cancelled my BOMC2 sub, but out of the blue today I received 4 books. Oh, well... more reading!
01.33Watched SCOOBY DOO + THE ALIEN INVADERS yeah I know! Still working my way through all American/Japanese animated features of 21st Century.
Mod
9:50pm ET. Reading Catch-22 and it is slow going, because i just don't have much time.. but every time i pick it up, i am laughing out loud. :Dmakes up for missed reading time.
10:02 p.m. and I've been M.I.A. for a couple of days. Feeling better tonight though. Plan to get a LOT of reading done this weekend. Going to call it a night and get some sleep (hopefully). Last night didn't turn out so well. Hope everyone is having a great night.
Mod
10:35 PM. I read several pages earlier, and since it was so quiet in the house, I got sleepy and took a nap since I want to try to stay up until my love gets home. Watched a little tv, made and ate a delicious salad, did the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and now I'm settling down to read.
1:56 a.m. EDT I have so many things to read and am not sure what to read next... I guess I could start early on the Artesans of Albia, but I also want to re-read the School of the Ages, and I told this other guy I'd try to read his book this weekend and ... Maybe I should just throw a dart...
Katy, I like the dart idea. Or you could do eeny meeny miney moe? Haha :)
9:16 a.m about to get my shower, we are going to the flea market today! It was a lot more exciting before I found out the pain in the rear boy might be coming too, but I will try and cope. I was hoping for just me and honey and the little one, have a nice day out :\Sigh. Will try and stay optimistic I suppose.
Mod
10:47am EDT. Had a good morning doing laundry and finishing up some cleaning. Now I have the rest of the day to read and relax. Enjoying my 3rd cup of coffee and checking out GR. I'm working on some really good books. Charlie the puppy is zonked out after a full morning of playtime. (He's now 13 months old, but he will always be "the puppy" to me!) Have a great day all my GR friends!
Cindy, hope you got some good sleep!
Kathryn, what does Mark do? (I was an RN for many years.)

10:13 AM. Good morning, GR! About to make some coffee and do more reading until Mark wakes up. I think I'm definitely going to finish my book today, and hopefully will start the next in the series. I am really looking forward to finishing the series because I don't remember what all happens to them. I should definitely be ready to start then ASOIAF series with Janie and Michelle next week! I can't wait! Terri- So good to hear from you! And my two kitties, even though Gizmo is 5 1/2 and Pepper is 3 1/2, they will always be my babies or kitties. More like my children, than cats, so I understand about cutie puppy Charlie. :) Mark started working for his sub-acute rehab hospital as a speech therapist five years ago. When he transferred hospitals, he was a part-time speech therapist, part-time FIM coordinator. Now, he is the Prospective Payment System Coordinator. Since Obamacare was passed, it created a new rating system of patients, like on a scale of one to ten, and part of Mark's job is to show everyone how to rate, make sure ratings are being done with every patient, and the like. I think it helps determine how much money the hospital will eventually get from Medicare, since most of the patients they have are stroke patients.
It's 2:35 PM, and I just dropped by say hi, GR buddies, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! :-)
5 p.m. EDT Didn't sleep too well this morning as Erasmus kept yowling at me and waking me up. Wasn't content with the level of his food dish, I expect *shakes head* Spoiled cats. Just reading!
Mod
7:45am just woken up to a very nice looking engineer in my bedroom trying to fit a virgin box. Feel so awkward now! Going to read for a bit nowGood morning guys!
I hate waking up to people in my room. Had that happen a couple times when I was in a basement apartment in Fargo and the water for the whole building was in my closet... O.O6:59 a.m. EDT Not feeling well at all the last couple days. I slept all night, so it's not as bad as yesterday, or I just slept through the worst of it, I'm not sure, but now I have a headache. Probably from sleeping so much. Ha! Back to reading if I can stay awake!
Hope you feel better soon Katy.
8:07 a.m. and I am with Jeff at our little mini-vacation. Having a really good time and much needed break. Finished Showdown last night and want to finish Killer Rumors today. Got up early on my own and felt good for once. I think the medication the doc put me on is starting to help some. Hoping everyone has a fantastic day!

Cindy, what did ya think of Showdown?
Me too, Cindy. Colitis blows donkey butt.9:55 a.m. EDT Trying to decide if I am going to blow off this book I promised to re-read School of the Ages or be a good person... decisions, decisions.
10:01am EDT. A gray and overcast morning after a night of rain. Enjoying my coffee even more than usual this am. Casually checking out GR and it's been really fun. I find myself in an especially good mood today! The puppy is finally settling down after a morning of hectic play. Have a great day all my GR friends!
Kathryn, Mark's job sounds so rich and rewarding! You must be so proud of him!

LOL!!!! Great choice of words. I do hope you feel better Katy.
9:03 AM Looks like I was the next victim of a migraine last night. Stuck at work for 3 hours till I could get home and lay down in a dark room and take something. It was rough. Better now, but back at work. Hope everyone else is doing well.
10:38 a.m just being a slow-mo getting going today. Didn't sleep much, but I figure I'll just take a nap later.
10:39 a.m. EDT Decided to be a good person. It's already taken me over a year, but then again, I've had other books for over 2, so ... anyway, I'll read the one for which I promised to attempt a review this weekend. It's supposedly short...

Hey, Chris, thanks, I missed your post before. Sorry about the migraine.1:15 p.m. EDT Well, that book was supposed to be a one-hour read, but it took me two. Boo. Anyway, I guess I'll read my Batman screenplays. I've had them way too long and NetGalley has long since archived them (and a good bunch of others I have) so I best start on them...
Mod
I got quite bit read today. Will finish Sinner tomorrow, and get ready for my GOT read. Well y'all I am heading off to bed, plan to run again in the AM. Sleep tight!
1130am Going to do some college work. Again tomorrow is Monday. How much I hate it...
4:51am EDT. Couldn't sleep so I just decided to get up and start the day. I read till 2am again--really heavy into 2 books. I've been reading so much good stuff lately! I love it when I get on a roll like this. Puppy is snoozing at the end of the couch as I write--so peaceful! The house is quiet and I'm ready to make some coffee and settle into a long morning of reading. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Terri, OMG!! The kayaks were so fun!!!! Mark and I watched our first sunset in them on Saturday. I think we're going to get up super early on Saturday and go to another lake to take them out. Thank you for asking. :)
