     6:06 p.m. EST; just finished selecting my Vine books, and listening to some wonderful piano music here by Koji Attwood, the son of author Randy Attwood, of whom I'm a huge fan! I am on a tear with this manuscript and will probably finish it tonight, thank Goddess! I owe Libby Heily a review of her book Tough Girl and had hoped to have it up tomorrow to go with her guest post on my blog, but alas! It will be late. Anyway, need to finish the e-mail and then finish this ms!

     It's 8:38 PM, and I've just finished reading a few chapters of Gone Girl. Now, I'm watching American Idol.

 I love Hockey and even the lock out couldn't keep me away. I was worried it it would be canceled all season so really happy it is back.

I will get back to reading after the game honest.

I'm glad hockey is back too, although I did get a lot of reading done during the lock out.
7:20pm My team, the Canucks, are not playing tonight so I will do some reading after I get the kids settled.
 It's 10:20pm here. A moment ago I was eating a chicken wrap and watching The Walking Dead. Now I'm reading 11/22/63. I have to take my contact lenses out in a minute so I can take a shower.

 10:42 p.m. EST Had tried to take a nap, but quit trying when I realized the husband would be home soon, as I was hoping for some gas-station cappuccino. Alas, no :-( So, I believe I'll finish clearing my email and try to again to sleep.

     11:08 p.m. EST Just left a kitten on my soul-sister's profile. A couple more e-mails, harass my husband about his horrible abuse of not bring me gas-station cappuccino, then to bed for a nap. Maybe eat a piece of cheese in there somewhere...

     11:24pm, I'm at work with nearly nothing to do. Browsing GR thinking if I'd do less GR browsing I'd probably get more reading done. So If I don't reach my 2012 reading goal I blame GR!

      10:59PM Had Kay's Winter Band Concert this evening they played beautifully (She plays trumpet btw.) Then we played a couple games of CLUE! So now checking on GR and gonna try to get a little more reading in. LOL @Dan keep on reading. Katy I definitely think that is abuse when you dont get your Cappuccino! I would write congress!

 11:14 PM. Should have been in bed 45 minutes ago! Oh well. At least it is Friday tomorrow! Goodnight GR!

...I don't know if you want to count that last one. It's just a silly little book on gargoyle lore...small enough to fit into the fifth pocket of my jeans and is only like 45 pages. I like it cause it came with a little Gargoyle statue that's eyes actually light up red!! LMAO
 Janie, the hubby says the place had the machine dismantled to clean it. At 10 p.m.??? What were they thinking? All us night owls with caffeine deprivation! When I worked graveyard at a convenience store, we broke down and cleaned the machines between 3 and 4 a.m. Also, I used to play trumpet, back in the day. I sucked at it... which was bad, because with trumpets you need to blow!

I can't keep all the plot strings separated the way I used to be able to...
2:33 a.m. EST just woke up from a nap feeling much better and ready to read for awhile. it's growing very cold outside - I can feel it through the window. Today is supposed to be really cold, but tomorrow back up into the 50s. This weather is crazy. Also, my friends on FB went crazy - I sleep for 3 hours and they blow up my inbox! Off to clear it!
      It's 2:53am and I'm awake again tonight. Decided to be productive so I'm making chicken stock. Bones/veg/herbs are simmering. I'll use 1/3 for vegetable soup this weekend, 1/3 for chicken & dumplings, and freeze 1/3. (I really have a lot of bones stored up.) I love the quiet in the middle of the night. Scented candle lit and spending time on GR. Very relaxing and good for my mental health. Waiting for meds to kick in. I love the night tonight.
    
  
  
   3:09 a.m. EST just finished clearing out my e-mail. A thread on FB went crazy, so that was what filled up my inbox! Heh. now I'll go back to reading. Maybe I'll go whine at my husband until he goes to buy me a gas-station cappuccino... X-D yeah, I love the stuff, and the place up the road has chocolate-covered strawberry flavor, which is nummy... Meanwhile, I'm hungry, so I guess I'll have a snack. Byeee!

     3:59am here. I just woke up from a bad dream and can't fall back to sleep. LOL...I'll post about the dream elsewhere. Anyways, getting up to go to work in two hours. I've been out for three days because I had bronchitus with a touch of the flu. I'm feeling better now but not looking foward to going back to work. Debating whether not I should try and go back to sleep or read one of those many books you guys are shocked that I read..LOL.

     4:33 a.m. EST; just checking for my daily Kindle freebies. Had a beer, so now I'm sleepy. Probably take a nap.

Dan, sorry to hear you've been sick. I do hope that you have the weekend off, so you can go in for today, play some catch up, and then have two more days to take it easy to completely rid yourself of the effects of your illness...
 Katy, I don't think anything is broken as i can walk on it, it's just very painful and tender to the touch. I agree that sprains are more painful especially as there's nothing you can do about it.

@ Katy, I'm feeling better and going to visit a friend this weekend. Just not looking foward to going back to work.

 4:05 p.m. EST Wow, I really crashed out this morning. Didn't wake up until quarter after 3 O.o I hopped on-line and was immediately caught by I, Curmudgeon's latest writing, which was really interesting, like usual, and am only just now starting on my e-mail, almost an hour later! Heh. It's cold here in Georgia today - currently 34 F - but tomorrow it's supposed to be back into the 50s, so at least it's not a long-term thing.

     A margarita sounds awesome right now Alondra. I've been having a pretty crappy day so that would be awesome. Alas, it is 5:00 PM and I am back at work after my lunch break. Got to close tonight so I will be passing the time here with you wonderful people. At least I have GR.

Now I want one, but the only stuff I have is this weird English lager that gives me bitter-beer face. I want some of the weissbeir that our local pub has on tap right now (it's SOOOO tasty!), but I'm stuck at home. So sad!!
