10:29 p.m. and I have been forced to take pain pills tonight. I was so proud of the fact that I haven't taken any for four days. Went all day after leaving the doctor's office hurting and just couldn't take it any more. Doctor's nurse told me on the phone when I called that it shouldn't last but a day or two. I'll live. I just hate that I had to take something. Feel like a wimp or something. Goodnight folks. It's gonna make me drowsy real soon.
10:43 PM. Well, we ended up at Lowe's because we had to return something and buy a few things. I won't go into detail, but the girl who works at Lowe's was having a bad day or something, and took it out on us. Oh well. I did what Grandma would have done: have patience, be kind, and say thank you no matter what. "Kill them with kindness." Anyways, since that trip took a lot longer than we had planned, we ended up just picking up some fried chicken tenders and mashed potatoes. Then, we talked about the book shelves Mark is going to make me. Now, we are in bed, Mark is asleep, Gizmo already curled up and sleeping on me, Pepper is...wherever Pepper sleeps, and I'm going to get back into Gone Girl. I hope to finish it tomorrow. Goodnight, GR!

Having breakfast with my parents. Just drank a cup of spice cider yum:)

9:30 AM. Good morning, GR! I have been up since about 6:30 AM. We are actually getting a little rain, and since it's been a while since I have heard rain, and in our new home, I couldn't figure out what the noise was. LOL. Plus, it was nice just to listen to. I'm off to finish Gone Girl. I read a nice chunk of it last night, and am really wanting to finish today because I really need to know what the heck is going on. Plus, I think I am going to start Ready player One afterwards. Anyways, enjoy the rain for those of you who are getting some, and for those who aren't, enjoy your day, too! :)
7:37 AM =. Good morning reading buddies. I just finished Gone Girl. Omgosh what a psyche trip! If you haven't read it, I'd say go for it. I didn't love the first few chapters but I see how they fit now. I'm going to walk Zoey, grab some coffee, eat, check out the update for Sims Freeplay, then figure out my feelings for Gone Girl. Yeah. I need to figure out my jumbled feelings and thoughts before I can write a review, (at least one that doesn't have me ranting spoilers left and right). Enjoy the day!
Mod
10:56 PM. What a nice rainy day. Much needed. I got lots of reading done: I finished Gone Girl and am now 61 pages into Fangirl. I also did a 20 minute run so I can get back into my workout routine. Anyways, goodnight GR...super sleepy with Gizmo next to me waiting to sleep. Lol

12:50 PM. Hey, hey, hey, GR! I have spent the last few hours catching up on some reviews of books I've read in the last few months. I didn't realize how many of them I hadn't written reviews for. Now I'm all caught up. I think I'm going to read for a bit, then workout. Happy Friday, everyone!
Cindy, if you are hurting, take the pills. Your body can't heal if it is trying to do something about the pain, you know? It doesn't make you a wimp, it makes you a human IN PAIN. I hope you feel better, and am glad you did have several days where you were able to go without the meds!1:59 p.m. EDT Had my scans this morning. We were in the parking garage 1 hour and 1 minute, so had to pay the $3 for over one hour rather than the $1 for an hour, which was so annoying. Especially since that minute was waiting for her to do a transaction with the person in front of us. Anyway, we went to IHOP afterward for breakfast, as I was REALLY hungry for the first time in days. I had a bacon and cheese omelet and sourdough toast, of which I ate pretty much exactly half. Half the omelet, half the toast (one slice - they gave me two). As the server brought the box, she said, "It's a lot of food for a little person, isn't it?" and I was like... little person? Me? And then I checked me out and yeah, I'm now pretty much a little person. Looking pretty frail. Oh, well. I still have a good 20 lb. cushion before I become dangerously thin, so I should be okay, right? I've been reading this anthology and the review is turning into a book itself. I don't even know if I'll be able to fit it all at some of the sites, and I'm not finished. In fact, I'm only at 65 percent, so lots still to read. It's just these stories are all inspiring me to ramble. And I'm generally rambling in e-mails and posts and all over the place lately. Desperately leaving proof that I was here? *shrug* Who knows. I'll find out about the scans on Tuesday. Here's hoping the tumors are shrinking.

Reading short stories and novellas just makes it all the worse.

Rambling is good. It takes you places you never expected to go in ways you never dreamed of!
Friday afternoon philosophy. :-)
So if we can pay by the minute on cell phones, why can't we pay by the minute for parking in this day and age? It's a scam , I tell you! :-)
I'll hope with you for the tumors to shrink.
536pm- just checking into gr-going out to dinner with a friend in a little while.Katy-hope the tumors are shrinking-that's bullshit about the parking!
have a good weekend everyone
It's 5:30 pm central standard time. Have been reading all day, added the new chapter of my web serial this morning here on goodreads, and going to watch mud later.
00.49 and I'm watching Frozen with the OH and a friend whose never seen it!!
9:05 p.m. and I haven't had a chance to read all day. Gonna try and catch up a little now.
8:20 P.M. Kind of tired, but want to get this studying done.
10:27 PM. I'm laying in bed. We didn't really do much this evening. I did read a little and checked on the plants. We went and got tacos for dinner. I'm going to read more tonight before sleep. Goodnight, GR. Oh, miss ya, Squire.
3:05 a.m. EDT Okay, that book-length review is done if anyone wants to check it out. It is for Curiosity Quills: Primetime. I think I spent almost as much time making notes and writing the review as I did reading the book! Finally treated Erasmus and Fluff for fleas, but Tiger embarrassed himself by knocking stuff down and has gone into hiding. Until he comes out, we can't treat him. *sigh* I hope Dmitry also has some stuff for the dog, who is itchy and whiny about it. Way past time I went to bed, actually, but I needed to really push the fluids today - drank 64 oz. of Gatorade and 46 oz. of V8 Fusion (Peach Mango. yum) and maybe 20 oz. water. Hopefully this will help push out the barium a bit faster. Oh, I forgot, I also had probably 24 oz. of iced coffee at IHOP this morning. Mmmm. Love that stuff. Anyway, bed time. Soon, Really
8:41 AM. Goooood morning, GR! It looks like a beautiful day here in Texas! I've actually been up for a while. Currently, I'm eating cereal, then I'm going to make some coffee and go read in our solarium. Mark is outside working on a shelf my grandpa wants for his t.v. We are going to take it to him tomorrow. Anyways, have a great day, everyone!Oh, and the kitties must be happy today. They are running around the house like it's the Kentucky Derby. I told them that race was a few weeks ago, so I guess they are training for next year. haha!

11:16 AM had to quit my waitress job today due to my seizures so I am spending the rest of my day reading all the way through Shatter Me for a challenge :) I will probably need a few reading sprints here and there though. My mom is flying back from Hawaii and is currently sitting in Phoenix, AZ waiting on her next plane!
Sorry to hear about that Heather. Please take care of your health! On a happy note - you get to see your Mom.
Cindy wrote: "Sorry to hear about that Heather. Please take care of your health! On a happy note - you get to see your Mom."Thsnks Cindy lol it is sad to say but I only want her back so I can see what she got me
Take care of yourself Heather. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
Hey everyone, I'd just like to mention that I probably won't be on Goodreads for the next two days because I have to travel up North with my mother to help get my Grandmother's stuff ready to move down here, and I can't use the internet up there because my Grandmother doesn't have Wi-Fi. But when we get her moved down here we're gonna get it hooked up in her new home. Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know. Hope everyone has a good night.
Have a safe trip Corey and we will talk to you when you get back!
Cindy wrote: "Have a safe trip Corey and we will talk to you when you get back!"Thank you Cindy, talk to you when I get back.
Safe trip, Corey.Heather, sorry to hear that. Seizures make holding any sort of job tricky. One of my first ex-husband's friends had epilepsy and he had to hide it because he was a cook. But if he were to have a seizure while cooking, he could seriously harm himself, so normally he wouldn't have been hired for those jobs if he disclosed the condition.
1:44 a.m. EDT Wasn't able to sleep much today. Tried this morning, but no luck. Managed a bit of sleep before D went off to work, and a bit more this evening, but not quite enough. Still, I should be able to sleep plenty today. Our bank has this program where you can chose deals and if you use your debit card to pay for whatever services, you receive a certain amount of cash back. One of the offers was 10 percent cash-back from Red Lobster through 5/27, so we're planning to go on Monday for lunch, since Tuesday is chemo and I'll be miserable for at least a week and a half afterward... so it'll be good to have a nice meal first! Meanwhile I've been eating a lot of cereal because I want to munch but don't want to actually exert myself... :-)
10:24 pm AKDT Heather hope you enjoy Shatter Me. Seizures suck. My oldest daughter has epilepsy. Sending prayers your way. Corey Wishing you safe travel. Prayers that the move goes smoothly and your Grandma likes her new place.
Katy I hope you enjoy your meal out. I will keep you in thoughts on Tuesday. You have my prayers.
To all the Moms, (and any Dads who are Mom as well as Dad), I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day! I hope your day is filled with love and laughter, (and also goes smoothly for those who need that - the value of that I learned while caring for my grandson who is autistic).
I had another lovely day of packing. I am just about done though. I will move the big items out on Monday night then give it a final cleaning before turning over keys. I took a bit of time out to place Zoey in her carrier and drag it around so she would be used to it before we hit the airport Tuesday. The only thing that bothers me is the flight is so long and she is suppose to be in the carrier the whole time. :-(
We went to the vet and he thinks she will be fine. She weighed in at 13 pounds and was pronounced healthy. Yay! I am tired but am hoping to read a bit before I crash.
On a funny note - today our post office was collecting food so I figured I would give them all the food I wouldn't be needing. my guy offered to pack it for me while I finished the upstairs. After we dropped the food off I stopped for a pack of soda. He picked up a pizza and I said to him we still had the food I put aside to make this weekend. He replied, after face freezing a second, that he wanted to treat me. So sweet, right? Haha. When we got home I went to put the Dr P in the refrigerator and noticed it was entirely empty! He forgot we still had a few days to go with meals at home and he packed off EVERYTHING. I turned around to look at him and his face was priceless. He told me that Zoey still had food and pulled out a Milky Way for me, (apparently he knew a pizza alone wasn't going to do it). I just cracked up! Chocolate to the rescue. Hilarious!
6:45 AM. Good early morning, GR. I have been up since about five. I can never sleep on Mother's Day. It's not my favorite holiday because my mother walked out, but I won't be negative and spoil your special day for the moms on this thread. Yesterday was such a productive day, and I am sore this morning. My aunt texted me and asked if I wanted to go to a nursery and get plants. I need some stuff for a particular spot in the front of our home, so I got plants for it. Mainly a variety of hostas, pink hydrangeas, and a few other things. I also bought a beautiful jasmine. It smells wonderful. I got it all planted in and it looks beautiful. Then, Mark and I ran around and did some stuff, made breakfast for dinner, and then bed. We were worn out. Today we are going to see my grandpa. Mark built him the shelf he wanted for his tv, so we are going to take that to him, have lunch, and go to the cemetery. My grandma's first name was/is Iris, so I bought some beautiful purple and light purple irises for Mother's Day to put down for her. Anyways, I'm going to read for a while until Mark gets up and we need to get ready to go. Have a great Sunday!

Corey safe trip to get your grandma!
Heather keeping you in prayers over the seizures.
Kathryn enjoy your visit with your Grandpa.
10:11. Just finished cleaning up after making breakfast. Now, having another cup of coffee.
It's 10:12 am Central standard time. Just finished breakfast and my mom and I watched the photo DVD I made for her for mother's day of pictures of the family and our dog ziva who passed away recently done to the song "You'll Be in my heart" by Phil Collins. My Mom loved it and almost cried. Now I'm just hanging around GR with some diet mountain dew.
2:03 p.m. and I am alone in the house other than the dog. Wonderful bliss.
2:37 p.m. EDT I only had a few hours sleep because I woke up about 6:30 and had the urge to go outside, so I went and sat in the back and drank a Guru (energy drink) and just ... sat. It was a comfortable temperature, cloudy and lightly foggy. We have blooms in the back yard; I thought it was Jasmine, but now I don't think so, as I went and sniffed it and it didn't smell like anything at all, and Jasmine is heady, so... Yeah, I Just checked and the blooming bushes are definitely not the Jasmine, not yet. I don't know what they are, but they are pretty. We had some little mimosa trees trying to grow at the base of the steps and the dog keeps tangling himself in them, so I stomped on them and broke them down. Hopefully that will help. Meanwhile the big mimosa tree is all leafed out, so the dog now has lovely shade on hot days. Then I came in and read for awhile, and then I wrote a really long letter to a woman who was probably as close as I ever had to a best female friend in high school. Hand wrote, mind you, so my hand was all cramped. I really went on and on, so I'll have to go by the post office tomorrow on the way to lunch to check if I need to add extra postage... Her birthday is in 10 days, so I used the first page and used different colored pens to make a sort of birthday card. Just silly stuff, y'know. Then I read for awhile longer, and now I'm clearing out some e-mail. Need to start waking hubby soon to send him to work, and then I'll try to take a nap. It's bright and sunny out today, and obviously very humid since my glasses fogged up when I put them on (I have the bedroom window open a few inches to let in fresh air). Hope all the moms out there are having a great day.
Just silly stuff, y'know.Frankly, I find this so heart warming! Nothing silly about it at all. I hand written letter to a friend is an incredible gift as far as I am concerned.
Cindy wrote: "2:03 p.m. and I am alone in the house other than the dog. Wonderful bliss."It probably won't last. Enjoy! :-)

10:20 PM. Good late evening, GR. Today was beautiful here. Mark and I went to my grandpa's house and then down the street from his house for lunch. Then we went to the cemetery where I put some purple irises down for my grandma. After we sat there for a bit, we left to go home. Mark and I took about an hour nap after we got home, then went to Half-Price Books, and I didn't find anything. I think was a little worn out from yesterday, (still am), so I actually didn't look much. After that, we stopped by the grocery store for some chicken breasts, grilled them, and had grilled chicken sandwiches and macaroni salad for dinner and coconut cream pie for dessert. We have been kind of relaxing a bit, and we are in bed watching a movie now. Goodnight, GR.
07.43amQuick goodreads check before the school run :) Then off to a friends. (A friend who understands that I HAVE to read and says nothing if I sit and read all day at their house ;) )
Mod
10:43 AM. Good morning, GR! I'm enjoying coffee and am about to read. I actually have a few things I need to do this afternoon, so I thought I would read a bit this morning, then get busy. Looks like it will be another warm day.

Oh Janie. I MUST have coffee or I get quite irritable.
