12:15pm EST. Just put on the 2nd pot of coffee to brew. Having a laid back day so far, just enjoying the company of my husband and the puppy Charlie. Charlie just had an ice cube--he loves to crunch them. Roasting some garlic to put in turkey burgers tonight. Also having sauteed mushrooms and roasted broccoli (my favorite veg). It's snowing lightly and kind of cold today. Larry made a library trip for me yesterday, and my friend also sent me a bunch of ebooks. I have so much excellent stuff to read now, it's tough to choose! (I love dilemmas like this.) Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

[Michelle]

12:43pm EST: I'm about to get ready for work and in a lot of pain today; fibro, you know :(

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:09PM Had another busy day with no reading :::sigh::: I am gonna try and get some reading done tonight so I can finish this book by tomorrow. Just recorded my Series Sunday late and have to get that up, then I will read.

[[deleted user]]

10:28 p.m. and I managed to catch up on some reading tonight. Working on my attitude lately. I was really wanting to throw in the towel, but Jeff has refused to allow this and I'm grateful. It is great when someone loves you so much that they refuse to let you give up. I am doing better with the pain and go to orientation for my job tomorrow although the job doesn't actually start for another week or two. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their reads.

9:30 PM

Man, I've just felt "off" lately. It's like I can't wake-up good or something until bedtime.

Was checking out a new book called a little while ago by Joyce Carol Oates. Read about 20 pages of it and actually starting getting into it. I had to put it down--I have so much stuff I should be reading. I think I'm going to hook on the audiobook for that one, though. I've only read short stories from her in The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror series . BTW, those Best New Horror Books are comprised of the who's who of the horror genre. They're not bad at all. And I've noticed some of those guys are writing some of the more popular YA books today. There's another book I want to read from Oates called that I've been eying for a while. May try to get a buddy read going for that one.

Janie, have you seen PX903? If so, what do you think about it? I'm wanting to try a program. Are you still doing Insanity?

Oh yeah, Jennifer McMahon has a new book coming out in a couple of days that sounds pretty good: .

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Chuck I have only done Insanity and P90X. Both are great programs and do wonders for cardio. My fave of course is Insanity. P90X got a bit boring for me, but I go back to some of the work outs now and then. The Kenpo and the yoga are pretty amazing.

I still do some of the Insanity work outs too, I went through that one twice. It has some great workouts in that one too, really great cardio. I also do the hip hop abs by the same guy who does insanity, Sean T.

I have not heard of PX903. Who is the trainer for that, do you know?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:39AM Woke up at 4:30 this morning and could not go back to sleep. I tried for 45 minutes. I am sick again, this time it is throat. I think I got it from Amy. UGH I hate being sick. So having some coffee and a bowl of cheerios with bananas for Breakfast. Will 2nd coating the bedroom today. We were just not happy with just a single coat. Not sure what was different this time. We never had to 2nd coat any of the other rooms and we used the same paint, so not sure what happened.

[Dan]

9:27AM. Going to have surgery on my shoulder.

I'm probably not writing it correctly. I thought it was the same guy who does the other PX90s. It's funny, they're totally in competition: Tony Horton--that's his name--comes out with a 30 minute program, and then Sean T. has a 25 minute program, lol. Haha, maybe they'll get it down to 5 and we'll all look like Greek Gods, hehe! There's totally a SNL skit there.

[Katy]

Dan, if they offer to do a nerve block on your shoulder, go for it. It feel pretty weird, but it helps immensely with pain.

Terri, sorry you're feeling down.

Cindy, sorry for your pain.

Chuck, I can relate. I'm the one with the terrible pain, but I can see the toll it takes on Dmitry.

10:02 a.m. EST Sorry for the long delay to update you. Was in no condition to communicate, although Dmitry brought my computer last night. The doctor took as much out of my colon as possible, but it is Stage IV. It has spread into my ovaries, uterus, throughout my abdominal cavity. Once I've sufficiently healed from this surgery, I will have to go through radiation and chemotherapy to shrink the tumors enough to make them operable. My emotions are all over the place... obviously. Well, there is an NCIS: Los Angeles marathon on USA, so I guess I'll be numbing my brain with that.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:44AM Hub is doing the 2nd coat today and I am relaxing. Still feel like crap, but I did take a short nap and I feel a little better.

Dan hope your surgery goes ok for you!

[Kathryn]

11:45 AM. Good morning, GR. Thinking I am going to go lay down for a bit. My stomach is a little upset. I don't think my cereal and coffee settled too well. Oh well. I'm convinced another dreary day has something to do with it. LOL

Katy, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure the diagnosis was pretty shocking to receive, as it was to read. Not too sure what else to say, other than I'm sorry to hear the news.

[[deleted user]]

11:00 am
Katy I am sorry to hear about your diagnostic that must be very sad and scary for you. But just know that I will keep in my prayers and send good vibes your way through this tuff time in your life.
Right now I am on break in between classes so I am sitting in the library study.

Oh my goodness, Katy. I'm so sorry! I feel for you, girl. I wish there was something I could do.

[Anna Maria]

I am really sorry for the news Katy, stay strong and I am continuing to send good energy and prayers your
way

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Katy really sorry to hear the news you got.

[Cheryl]

I'm very sorry about your diagnosis Katy. I'll keep you in my thoughts and wish you all the best.

[Corey]

It's about 4:15 and I'm watching reruns of Seinfeld on TV, it's one of my favorite TV shows of all time and one of the funniest, I never get sick of it and I can repeat almost all the classic lines from it. After dinner I'll probably read some more of Clear and Present Danger.

[[deleted user]]

Keeping you in my prayers Katy and Dan. And everyone else who is struggling with health and/or other issues. God Bless!

[Shell]

Katy, I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I can only imagine how you are feeling right now. Please know that we are all here for you and will be thinking of you.

[Shell]

Corey I absolutely love Seinfeld. I watch it over, and over, and over haha. So many great lines :)

[Rachel]

642pm Katy, my heart goes out to you- you're in my thoughts and prayers.

i loved seinfeld!

[[deleted user]]

6:53 p.m. and I am signing off GR's for about an hour or so to read. I have trouble actually reading if I am online.

[Alondra]

7:26pm. Getting ready for Snow in NC. I mean, really?? The reports are saying at least 4-5 inches .... i hope it falls soon, i don't want to go to work; i want to play hooky!! :D

[Chris]

6:24PM, I'm working tonight and as much as I hate being here I am shocked at how many people are under the weather. I have missed so much.

Janie, I hope your throat feels better soon, I hate when I have a sore throat beucase it never seems to go away quick enough.

Katy, I wish I had something I could do for you, and or say to make things brighter, but I'm at a loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and I hope you recover quickly so you can bounce back stronger.

Teri, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down as well. Let me know if you want to talk or something.

I hope everyone else is at least doing ok. I'm tired and burnt out a bit, but I'm in good health so I consider myself lucky.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:46PM Had Chicken Salad sandwiches for dinner and broccoli! Now having some coffee. I think I need tea more than coffee. Been sleepy all day long too.

[Shell]

I love broccoli!

[Veronica]

Me too. Also, the chicken salad sandwich sounds scrumptous

[[deleted user]]

5:59 pm
I had chicken for dinner also just not as a sandwich:) Going to sit here and read some then my mom and I are going to watch two episodes of Merlin.

[Chris]

I made homemade chili this afternoon for my wife, kids, and a friend of ours since I'm working tonight. I can't wait to get home and have a big bowl of it.

[Victor]

8:24 PM Heading home from my Karate class. I've been feeling sleepy all day.

I made tacos for dinner and they turned out really good.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the night. Hopefully I can get some reading done.

[Veronica]

9:33 PM (EST) Started watching the Walking Dead series on Netflix. Want to see what all hoopla is about

I'd like do that from the first. I know there are a couple novels, maybe I'll read those. Was pretty burned out on zombies for a while. I used to love the horror genre, but every other book has been about zombies it seems like. Been a while for me, though.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

11:16PM Feeling better this evening and read some. Still feel really tired and sleepy though. So it seems I slept a lot today/ Aves is asleep on the couch, I sure hope he does not get sick. No school tomorrow because of all this sleet and more ice. UGH! I am so over winter!

[Darcy]

11:20pm - things have gotten stressful here at home. My 15 yr old son was in the hospital. Now new issues are here to deal with. My son is home now.

Oh no! I didn't know it was going to happen again. :(

[Lucy]

1.26pm
About to go have some soup for lunch and read a book :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

9:05AM Still not feeling back to myself really. UGH! About to eat breakfast that hubby made for me. He did not go to work this Am because the roads were so bad. School was closed as well. Plan to just relax and read today if I can stay awake.

[✨Susan✨]

Take care Janie, I hope you feel better soon! You are a lucky gal to have such a nice hubby to take care of you.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

1:11PM Had a bagel for lunch, just don't have too much of an appetite right now. Have been reading though so that is always good.

Thanks Susan, he is awesome. I wished I could have enjoyed the breakfast more than I did though LOL

[Kathryn]

12:10 PM. I'm BACK!!! After my last post in this thread, I got so, so sick. Probably the sickest I've been in I don't even know how long. Mark took great care of me. It will be so nice to be able to eat and drink again! You would think I could have done some reading, but I was even too sick to read. Sorry Janie I'm behind in our read. I will catch up, though! The only good thing that happened while I was sick is I received my book I ordered. Mark took off of work today just in case I was still sick. LOL. Anyways, I hope to get some reading done today. I have missed my book!

[Holly]

1:29 p.m. Just got home from work a little while ago. Very excited to be going shopping when the hubby gets home! Might even make a trip to Barnes & Noble....yay! ;-)

[Angie]

Its 7pm and I've got s.3 of Nikita on. Wow she's just chopped Michaels hand of! Its all very dramatic.

[Kit★]

3:32 p.m just got back from the dollar store and gas station. Should take tonight and clean the bathroom and sweep the floors, but I'm kinda thinking about making a run to Goodwill for a quick book hunt this evening. So we shall see which idea wins, lol.

[Corey]

I'm eating spaghetti for dinner and sitting in my living room watching National Lampoons Vacation with Chevy Chase, such a funny movie, it never gets old.

[[deleted user]]

2:54 pm
Waiting in the waiting room for my mom to finish up with her doctor's appointment. Then my parents and I are going to get dinner. We decide last night to go to Red Lobster for dinner tonight.

Hope you feel better soon Janie. I know what it's like to be sick. It's no fun.

[[deleted user]]

Katy, I was so sorry to hear your news. It must be such a shock. I certainly hope things will go well for you and especially that you don't suffer with pain and other symptoms. Sending you all the positive energy I can.

To all our other sickies, hope you all feel better!

6:09pm EST. I've been sick along with everyone else. It started Mon. night and all my chronic illnesses exploded--severe pain, horrible GI symptoms, abdominal distention--all the signs I get of a bowel obstruction. I'm seeing the doc on Fri. If it wasn't for my hub and Charlie, I never would have gotten through the past few days. When Charlie jumps on the bed and cuddles up with me, it's the best pain relief there is! I just had some chicken soup, first food since Mon. Just hoping to avoid the hospital and surgery at this point. Needless to say, my reading has been almost nonexistent.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

5:29PM Wow I have not even been on this thread today! I spent the morning cleaning because my house has been neglected due to not feeling well. I did not even help hub finish painting. So now the bedroom is painted and my house is clean! YAY! I have not read anything today though, so I plan on that later this evening. Having tacos for dinner they are YUM! Will work out in another hour or so then settle in with some coffee and my current read, Angelfall.

Kathryn no worries about falling behind! When ya get sick you just font feel like reading. Glad you getting back to your old self.
