What time is it and what are you doing?


(literally pooped; i have a bunch of composted manure in the front of my house... the neighbors are slightly perturbed!! ...LOL)
4:37 p.m. and getting ready to take dog for a walk. Trying to get some exercise to help my health get a little better (hopefully).

I've heard that it was really good. I'm looking forward to the chance to see it. But then again, I'm a great big geek, so of course I would be... :-)
8:36 p.m. EDT Up from a short nap to find an e-mail from an old friend of mine. I do hope I receive some news from her soon, it's usually just "Yeah, got your e-mail, will send more soon" and then nothing for two years... LOL Did manage to read a bit before crashing, so that was something at least. Clearing out e-mail and then will try to read some more while waiting for the caffeine from the DoubleShot to do its trick and rid me of this headache (how cool is it that my doctor recommends caffeine for my headaches? But apparently the Avastin they are giving me constricts my blood vessels, which can lead to headaches, and the caffeine will dilate them).
8:49 p.m. and I'm getting ready to watch the fireworks for Thunder Over Louisville via live streaming. You couldn't pay me enough to go down there and fight the crowds. Want to finish a book I'm reading tonight, but I doubt if I'll get to it.
Katy - Wish my doctor would recommend caffeine. She gets on me all the time because I get kidney stones A LOT and apparently caffeine is no good for them.

9:20 PM You should definitely see Captain America then. It's a lot of fun with crazy special effects. I saw it with my son, a high school buddy, and his son who is the same age as my son. We had a great time!


11:33PM Just finished another book, Witch and Wizard. It was ok. Enough for me to want to read the rest of the series, although it is obviously more middle grade, so its not for everyone.
Victor great picture!

2:41 a.m. EDT Finished The Collector of Dying Breaths: A Novel of Suspense. I'm back in the reading mood as long as my vision holds up. I didn't mention it before, but during my last chemo treatment, at one point I rubbed my right eye and my vision went completely out for several seconds. It still flashes off and one once in awhile, which might be another reason for my headaches. Anyway, fairly tired, so will try to sleep soon, but first will start on a beta read of Scott Rhine's latest.

Well it's about to be Day 13 of my 30/30 and I'm not that far behind, really. Essentially I am 9 books for 12 days. BUT, I've got a few I've been chipping away at that should make the difference throughout the month. Frankly, I was having some serious doubts a few days ago but I almost feel as if I'm about to get in a zone. Picking good books makes SO much difference.
I'm not sure what the weather is going to be like today, but I suspect hot and humid here. In Texas, ya think? What am I, psychic? No but seriously, I can hear it raining now, and I think it's going to be miserable, unless we have some thunderstorms that cool it off.
Happy reading, Bookworm Buddies!

9:28AM It is a rather dreary day today, but we do still need rain. So it will be good for reading! My reading has been great this month after what I thought was a slow month. So that makes me happy. Starting a new book today called Fractured by Karin Slaughter. Should be good, it is book 2 in the Will Trent series and I loved the first one. So I hope to have it finished by tomorrow.

Thanks Katy. I read up on some stuff myself. I was surprised to discover that the old cranberry juice actually can make them worse.

I was just thinking the same thing Kathryn.

11:23 a.m. and I'm not awake enough yet to know what I'm doing. Gonna drink some coffee and then I'll decide what I'm reading.
That bites Holly. Makes you want to consider calling in sick for about two seconds.

Yuck! And then you'll be so tired when you get off work tomorrow that you'll probably crash. Sorry :(

It will be a lot cooler anyway.


Maybe the nap should be a priority? *hugs*

7:18 p.m. and I'm really confused now. Never again will I read three books at one time that all deal with zombies or vampires. Everything is running together.

That is cool. Enjoy!

8:13 p.m. and I'm taking a break to catch up on a couple of episodes of The Voice. I have fallen behind.
8:43PM Had a little bit of time to read. Kat came over and we played some Sorry. LOL You gotta love that game. After dinner I did a work out and then played basketball with my son and daughter. So some nice exercise today.

10:20 p.m. and I'm done watching hulu. Now I plan to read for a couple of hours and go to bed. Have two doctor's apts this week :(

Do what booktubers do, use a "book jar" and choose what to read at random.
Just think Chuck. You could have already had one read. I do that all the time.

Glad someone can relate.

I have too many books to even set that up.
And I'd probably just keep picking "one more."
@ 10:53 PM
Guess I should just go to bed. I'm tireder (is that even a word?) than I even realized.


Noam, I agree that Frankenstein is sad. It breaks my heart to read it.

11:55 pm I was supposed to be reading like from an hour ago, but I watched a movie with my mom instead. Ok, now I'm reading. See ya later, folks.

6:54 A.M. Book hoarder anxiety. :-)

1:42 p.m. and I've got live streaming of the air show of the ipad. Doing some reading and enjoying a beautiful day.
