What time is it and what are you doing?
2:05AM EST. Up late reading tonight, should be asleep. At least I'm out of that damned reading funk I was telling you guys about early last week! LOL.Thank you for your kind words, Janie. As always.
Today was a very productive day, I got a lot of work done. There was an extremely minor family crisis early tonight. But it's all water under the bridge now.
I watched the latest episode of the third season of Better Call Saul tonight and it was awesome! This season is the best yet. It's great for us die-hard Breaking Bad fans to have cause we miss that show so much.
I watched better call Saul too. Agree it's so good this season!
8:48 A.M. I had a drink, as soon as I got in the house from work! Didn't leave until 6:45... ugh. #cancersucks #mypatientsrockRum & Coke
10:01 PM EST. Went to the mall late this afternoon and into 9:00 PM. Finally got some new pairs of jeans. Re-watching that new episode of Better Call Saul cause it was so damned good...LOL. Maybe I'll squeeze in some reading before bed.

Trying to plan family vacations for 20 people in 4 states is crazy and it's making me crazzzy... Oh wait... More crazy!Janie,I so hope you got the message I was sending you on Facebook. Please say you got it... There's no time like the present.
Alondra, you rock and I could never do what you do... I would be a mess. "Hang in there baby!"... Takin ya back to the 80,s
2:53 AM EST. Sitting up reading now. I need to stop stop staying up so late. Not like I do it all the time or it's as bad as it used to be....but I find myself a somewhat nocturnal person. Isn't that a genetic thing? For instance, my mom is like that too, my grandfather is like that, and my sister....well, lately she's been living like a vampire.Sorry to hear about your work troubles, Janie. Don't know what it is you do, but when ever you get down about something like that, you should go watch Office Space. I love that movie, it is hilarious. LOL
Mod
Susan the last message I got from you was in April, or are you talking about posting to my wall?
It's 10:07 am, ad I just got back from the doctors with my daughter and I'm starving and in need of coffee.

Like Janie said, " I need a better co worker, someone who will do their share." .... I ask this all the time.
I just need folks to "Adult" for the full 8 hours... I mean, really???
9:01 p.m. Sleepy and exhausted, but had a great day with the hubby. Settling down, reading updates and about to start reading.
11:50 PM EST. Sitting here trying to get some reading in.Today was an alright day I suppose. Got some work done, did some stuff around the house and ran around getting ready for mother's day. Yesterday, however is a different story.
Sometimes I feel weird about venting on here to strangers, but you guys are pretty cool. Yesterday I was actually having a good day, till at night I got into an argument with my sister and she said and did some stuff that really got under my fucking skin. I am so sick of my sister acting like she is all high and mighty judging everyone all the time, and acting like her shit comes out gold plated. She is mean and treats people like shit, not all the time, but a lot of the time and does it to everyone. She is the only one in my family that can get away with behavior like that and I don't get it nor do I like it. She is a total self-righteous fucking bitch, and I am sick of it.
Mod
Dan, sometimes it is better to confide in people you don't know very well. They have a less biased opinion. Sometimes you just have to let your family know when you are unhappy. I have a sister like that as well. She is pretty judgmental, even when she says she does not judge people.

So right now I am enjoying some coffee. Amy an..."2:25 AM EST. Up late again, LOL. I just read something interesting online about the hereditary mutation of the CRY1 gene, and that it can make certain people proned to be somewhat nocturnal. I would share that with my sister if I wasn't so mad at her right now. I Had a good mother's day celebration today at my uncle's house in Pennsylvania even though my grandmother is sick. She got an iPhone as a gift today though.
Janie, thank you for your kind words. That is an interesting point you made about confiding in strangers, I like that. You, I kind of feel like I know since I've been an active member of a couple of your groups on GR for the past four years now. Yeah, I don't think my sister thinks she is that way either. I mean isn't that the way people work though?? In real life, villains don't think they are villains (definitely not comparing my sister to a villain...LOL).
I've got a busy week ahead of me. Hope I get everything done I need to get done.
I just bought this book
, it's a graphic novel about Kurt Cobain. I'm really not crazy about the cover art, but the art inside the book is...... AWESOME. I can't wait to read it!And I am insanely happy that NBC decided not to cancel Timeless, and that it will be back for a second season!!!
8:16 p.m. Long day, after a long weekend. I want a drink, but I think I still have brain-freeze from a huge Margarita I had on Saturday... jso_O
Mod
Dan I agree, I don't compare my sis to a villain, but she needs to stop being mother hen now, we are all adults now.
Alondra I would love a drink with you! Be there soon haha!
11:33 PM EST. Going to get some reading done before bed. I'm on page 310 of
. I'm really trying to give this book a chance, I thought it would be good to read something different. And I like the whole idea of mixing a novel with book illustrations and a graphic novel. But, it's kind of been hard to pay attention to what's going on in the story, and I can't get into the characters. I suppose I'll stick to my reading rule and finish it, then form a formal opinion of it. Just watched tonight's episode of Better Call Saul. Damn, that show is getting really good! It's almost as good as Breaking Bad. And I'm still filled with glee that they renewed Timeless.
10:30 PM EST. Pretty decent day today. Big day ahead of me tomorrow. Going to get some reading in now.
9:28 PM EST. Woke up from a nap an hour ago, now I'm eating dinner and watching an old episode of Breaking Bad.I was all energetic and productive today, from the time I got up at 7AM up to through late afternoon. That is until around 5PM, when I started to feel lethargic and drained. Last year I had anemia, and had to go for iron treatments. I hope I'm not getting that again.
I'm going to eat, watch this episode, then get some reading in.
Dan, this is not aimed at you. Hope you feel better soon. Getting to bed late tonight because I had a great time talking to one of my mentors and best friends on the West coast. She just so happens to be 83 years old, still awesome, and still kicks butt.... She makes me feel old at my young age. Shame on me...
A note to us young folks who think we are old...
Mod
Susan when you talk about a lady who is 83 and still kicking butt, it makes me feel like an ass thinking I am so old. Thanks for the reality check! LOL
Dan hope you get to feeling better. I hate feeling yucky!
That made me feel good too Susan. I always say I am old but young at heart. With your story though with the 83 year old lady makes me not to feel so old lol! Reality check! I hope I am like her at 83 years old. Wouldnt that be nice!
9:14 p.m. So thankful that it is Thursday!! This has been a long ass week. Ugh. @Janie; the drinks were yummy!! :D
Mod
Alondra, I hope you drank one for me!
8:37 A.M. Received my copy of Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar; in the mail yesterday from Cemetary Dance!! I am so excited. Everything else is now on the back-burner, so I can read this book!
Don't you just love it when you get a book you can't wait to read?!
Judy wrote: "Don't you just love it when you get a book you can't wait to read?!"Yes!! I love seeing that brown box on my doorstep; full of books. :)

2:58 PM EST. Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. My dad doesn't like it when my sister and I buy him cards, so every year we make him one and he likes that better. I usually put my artistic skills to use and draw something on it. He's a big fan of the comedian, Jeff Dunham. So this year, I made him a card with the "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" puppet on it. 
LOL...I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Might tweak it some more early tomorrow. I can't wait to give it to him.
For Father's day I'm going to make him a card with one of the other puppets, "Walter".
I know it's late here but I'm gonna get at least a little bit of reading in before bed. LOL...Janie, I like that song.

Getting my Dads Father's Day and Birthday gift ordered early this year so I am not scrambling and having to pay extra delivery charges. It's nice the two dates are close together. He's 86 this year. Miss him but have our visit all arranged for August. All of my kids and their significant others will be able to go with us this year. First time in 6 years we all be there at the same time. Two thumbs up.
Mod
That is great new Susan, glad y'all get to be together! It is always so much nice when everyone can be there. I know I love it.
Sounds yummy Janie. I remember talking about how good your soup is.
Mod
You to Janie girl =) hope you have a great day!I have been in a review slump. I have 10 or so books out there to review and at this time am going to try to do one a day, but the further I get behind the less I want to do them. Argh....
Mod
LOL Susan, stop putting them off, get er done would ya? LOL
1:23 p.m. Enjoying the start of a long weekend. It's been a long week of crazy, and I am ready for dull and boring. Sometimes quiet is the best medicine.
Mod
Maybe K should work there too? Sounds like they need workers.
Mod
HAHA Susan I already tried that with Kay. She wants to stay where she is right now, but you are right we need people in the deli pretty badly. I will seriously be surprised if the gal that put the 2 weeks in even comes to work to finish it out.
8:07PM-I just got done drinking some coffee. And I'm in the middle of watching Netflix, thinking about a lot of things. I'm trying to finish my books.
Drinking my tea and loving that after all the hours upon hours of rain we got yesterday and last night that our pool did not flood. All the hard work my hubby and son did to instal 50 yards of French drain WORKED. Yay!
2:15 PM- I am just trying to figure out where I am at with my reading goals from this year. So far:Goodreads Goal 47/85

Yea Dan, our pets are family and it is so difficult when we see them suffer, yet we want them around forever. It is these decisions that kill us the most. Sorry you are having to deal with this right now.
Susan please feel free to read IT without me. I have next to no time to read as it is, and a book that size will now take me a whole month to get through. Enjoy it!
