@3:23AM
Guess I better catch some Zs--I got to get up at 5AM. Ouch!
8:38 AM. My sweet husband, who I have been married to for four years today, just left for his second to last day at this hospital before his transfer/new job. It's hard to believe we have already been married for four years, but they have been the best four years. :) I stayed up until about 1 AM to read Night Film. I wanted to stay up later, but of course, sleep always decides to kick in. I am going to enjoy some coffee and breakfast here soon. Finally ready to eat. Sometimes after I sleep, it takes me a bit to wake up. Lol. Anyways, after breakfast, I am going to keep reading. You would think I would be done with Night Film by now, but I find myself really absorbed in the story and wanting to really absorb everything going on, not miss an important detail, and kind of wanting to savor it a bit. I guess I like the book? Haha! Anyways, happy Thursday! Terri, Gizmo always gets some extra love. Pepper....I try to give her extra love, but she hasn't figured out if she bites Momma, I stop petting her. Oh well...Gizmo is my baby and Pepper is Mark's baby, so I guess it all works out! Haha! Give Charlie some hugs for me. :)

6:00 PM. What a busy day. I just got a shower after my workout, which was great. Even though it's our anniversary, we are staying home, cooking some yummy food, and going to watch PR. (Terri :)) Before I cook, I think I'm going to read a bit more.
5:33 pm
I just got to the second part 1984. It is nice out today that I have my bedroom window open even though it is a bit noise with traffic the fresh air is nice:)

Hey everyone, sorry I've been quiet on Goodreads the past few days, I've been so busy and trying to catch up on my sleep, but now I'm back on track, I'm more than halfway through A Place Called Freedom and it's getting better and better as it goes on, now I'm getting ready for bed, good night everyone.
5:51 P.M. I am making Baby bingo cards for my sisters baby shower on Saturday!

11:00 PMHaving a hell of a tough time tonight. Going to have to put my cat Baby Girl to sleep in the morning. She's a little gray 14-year-old tabby. This is the 5th time in the past 6-7 years alone. This process just doesn't get any easier--ever. She should have lived longer than that. Sigh. ... if there is any mercy to be had in this world it's only through our fellow human beings. I truly believe that.
Q: How long does a cat live?
A: Never long enough.
Omg. Chuck, I had to do to my cat of ten years. It is such a difficult decision to make. Hang in there my friend. Just give her lots of love and tell how much you love her tonight. Agh...I'm crying. I wish I could be there with you, or at least could say something to make it better. But having been there myself, I know nothing can make you feel better. Only time can do that. I will be thinking of you and Baby Girl. ((((HUGS))))
:( thinking of you Chuck, that is such sad news :(
Thank you very much, ladies. I love animals a lot, not too many things I care more about really. They don't lie to you, steal from you, or go out their way to hurt you--which is more than I can say for a lot of people I've known, unfortunately, but I don't think I'll be getting any more pets. I just can't do it anymore. They sure give you all their love, that's for sure.
Mod
Oh, really? I'm sorry, Janie. No, I don't think I knew that. I haven't been reading the blog pages for some time if you posted it there. I'm sure I would have offered my condolences had I known, and I thank you very much for yours. I really do appreciate it very much. It's just amazing how much a person can grow to love those little creatures. I don't even consider them pets so much as I consider them family. 3 AM
oh, big sigh. Tough day tomorrow coming up. Guess I'll try to read for a little while and try to get my mind off things and hopefully get a few hours sleep.
Sorry to hear about your kitty, Chuck. :(My condolences.
7:41 amI'm watching cold case with my mom
6:24am
Sorry to hear about Baby Girl Chuck:( I'm up early because my own cat woke me asking for breakfast. I agree that they become more then just pets they become members of your family. To me Ziggy is not just a cat he's almost like a little kid. I'm sure you felt the same way about your own cat Chuck. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers today.

9:02 AM. Good Friday Morning, GR! Today is Mark's last day at this hospital before our move/his transfer to his new job. I plan on mainly reading today because I need to finish up Night Film. The Bone Collector read is starting tomorrow. I am very excited about it. I thought I heard thunder this morning when I woke up, so I was a little disappointed, to say the least, when I realized it was sunny. I'm not sure why I was hearing thunder. haha! Oh well. I already have my coffee, ate cereal, and I'm good to go for a day of reading. :)
Chuck, I'm so sorry about Baby Girl. Your pets become so much a part of the family. They are so intuitive to your moods, and that unconditional love they give you is priceless. We had to put down our collie of 14 years a little over a year ago. The decision was heart-wrenching, especially for my hub. He still feels guilty about it. I just have to keep telling him that it was the right time. Pets rely on us to make good decisions for them, and that includes a dignified end when they are in pain and can't even make it down 1 step to the back yard. So I told Larry that is was just the best and the last thing he could do for him.
Kathryn, Happy Anniversary to you and Mark! Hope you have a fun, special, and love-filled evening! (Also, I record PR and then make my hub sit through it with me! His reactions are priceless, and it's so much fun to have someone to laugh about it with you!)
Chuck, how are you enjoying The Caine Mutiny?
9:57am EDT. Having a lazy morning hanging out on GR with my coffee at hand. I've been on here since 8:30 and it's so relaxing and so much fun. Pretty soon, though, I'll start reading (and make another pot of coffee). I'm having those weird neurological symptoms again. I get confused as to what day and time it is. I talk and what I mean to say isn't understandable to others. I'm unsteady on my feet and have trouble getting out of a chair. It's rather concerning. I have an MD appointment next month, but I had an entire neuro work-up about 18 months ago and there was nothing specific. I'm definitely not going through that again. It's probably just my underlying symptoms flaring up again. So if I start posting incomprehensible or bizarre comments, you'll know why!
Happy Friday everyone!

Yea Chuck in was in my blog post, no worries, just wanted you to know that I understand what you are going through. Hang in there.
10:40 am
My mom is getting fitted for a brace for her knee and I am outside the office waiting for her I have a book with me of course, then we are going to go to Target and meet my sister for lunch.

Its 4.50 here and I'm trying to catch up with everything. I've had a huge migraine for a few days and couldn't do any reading. I'm sorry to hear about your cat Chuck:(
2:07 p.m. I am so sorry to hear about your cat Chuck. Animals are the greatest companions and extremely loyal. I've had to make that tough decision for a few of my animals. So sad. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Have you seen the Rainbow Bridge poem Janie posted in her blog? It is wonderful and comforting.
2:10 p.m. and I might read a little before work. Only got three hours sleep this morning because of a trip to the hospital with my back. However, I will say that I feel rested. Three hours pain-free rest is so much better than 6 or 7 when you awaken several times in pain.

Feel better soon Cindy!
Feel better soon Cindy!
Thanks Janessa! It will get better if I actually follow the docs advice. I have a nasty habit of self-diagnosing and self-prescribing. I forget that my degrees are NOT in medicine. Feel pretty good right now.
Hope you feel better Cindy!1:35 P.M. I feel so overwhelmed right now because I'm so behind with everything. Gosh, I don't know what to get to first!!
I'm not even gonna stress over being behind on my reads. It takes the pleasure out of it. I'll get there when I get there. And thanks Holly. I put on my new shoes that I bought this morning and feel like I'm walking on air. Should help some at work (having some decent shoes), instead of $10 Walmart specials.
Reading isn't the only thing I'm behind on!You're welcome Cindy. Glad to hear that your new shoes are working out for you.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. It nice to be reminded there are still compassionate people in the world.

I'm enjoying THE CAINE MUTINY quite a bit. I can't wait to get a little further along in it. I glanced some interesting stuff in my buddy read for it. I think I'm going to love it.
Hey, you know what, Terri? You ought to read some Oliver Sachs if you haven't. It'd be funny to pick up all the jargon you can from it and go in there talking neurology talk. I found it to be really interesting, too.
4:06 PM. I have been reading most of the day, and have about 140 pages left. I will finish it up tonight. I just got a load of dishes washing, and as I was loading, Mark came home. :) He is officially on vacation for two weeks. I hope we don't strangle each other. Haha!!! JK. Anyways, I think I will go get my workout done so I can read and finish up Night Film tonight.

1amBeen reading all day, about to go to bed with my book ;)
Getting ready to sit and watch Hannibal in a few minutes. Love that show!
9:06 PM. Making myself a late dinner. Mark ate a big snack, so he isn't hungry. I had a great workout, once I finally out my book down, got a shower, and watched some news. After I eat, I'm going to finish up Night Film. I think I might make some coffee and stay up late. I would like to go ahead and start The Bone Collector, if my eyes allow. Lol
9:11 P.M. Just posted the thread for a writing event in my group. Very nervous and excited....
Good luck on your writing event, Holly.
It's 4:44am and I've been up all night again. Larry's band is having a practice tonight so maybe I can get to bed early then. As my consolation for having to be alone on a Saturday night we're going to either eat out or order in. Either one will be a treat. The house is so quiet and peaceful. Charlie is nestled up right against me on the couch--he's used to a lot of petting and physical contact. My hub and I always say we're his pack, and that does seem so. (Larry is definitely the alpha dog.) Now I'm going to go put on some coffee and get ready for my dentist appointment at 8am. Happy Saturday everyone.
Hey Chris, if you're around at all let us know how you're doing. (I know you're super busy, but we all think of you and hope for the best as far as the job situation goes.) Hope you're getting some good family time.
