1:30 p.m. and I just want to retire! Or, better yet, get a job I can work from home. Never enough time to do anything with all the running around. At least I can manage my time much better when I'm home. Oh well, enough of the ranting. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I'm gonna read for about 30 minutes then I'm off to work.

I was looking at whispersync yesterday Chuck. When I get the time I will check it out further. Wish I could listen to audiobooks at work :(
You can listen on your commute and lunch hour and stuff, can't ya? Oh, I guess you can probably read then I bet. I just can't tell you how much I love them. I listen everywhere. I even crank 'em up through my amp and listen to them in the shower. haha
The commute would definitely work! Lunch, well let's just say my company doesn't believe in lunch breaks. I get two ten minute breaks. But, yes, on the way to and from work - that would work.
1:04 PM. Crocheted and watched Carrie. It wasn't a bad movie, actually. Going to fix some lunch, and get back to crocheting and put another movie on for some noise.

7:05am. Drinking coffee and checking up on GR. No special plans for today, just lots of reading.
Happy Birthday Janie!! Hope you have a great day!
Happy Birthday Janie!! Hope you have a great day!
It is 1:18 PM and I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. Amazing book.
6:42 AM woke up and took a shower. Now I'm going to eat breakfast. Happy birthday, Janie! I hope you have a great day:D
Mod
Terri & Victor thank you so much for the birthday wishes!
Oh, Today is Janie's birthday? Awesome, Janie, have an excellent day!
Sounds like you have some awesome plans. Enjoy!
9:53 a.m. EST Woke up actually feeling like doing things, so I'll be reading for awhile. Unfortunately hubby is sick now :-( Hopefully he'll have enough sleep from the Nyquil to be up to going to work.
8:57AM At work, finished with the opening tasks, and now listening to Red Dragon. Hope it stays slow, because I really hope to get some reading in. Starting a 6 day stretch until my next day off. Happy Birthday Janie!!! Sounds like you have a great day planned and that is how it should be. Enjoy your day.
Katy, I am glad to hear you are feeling better. Bummer about your husband being sick, hope he feels better soon also.
Happy birthday, Janie!!! Sounds like you have an awesome day ahead of you! Hope it is wonderful! 8:59 AM. I have been up for about two hours. Tried laying in bed to fall asleep, but it didn't work. Eating breakfast and about to start Under the Dome.
10:13 a.m. EST Just going to log off and read. My poor cat came over to cuddle, but since I kept typing he became irritated the left again. Hopefully once I put up the computer he'll come back. Tiger is sitting here grooming, but Erasmus is irritably sitting in the window...
11:36 a.m. Wish I could be on here more...I miss you guys!!!!!
3:49 p.m. EST Just finished the first Kari Vaara book. Man, that's some really dark stuff. But good. About to start the 2nd one.Holly, everything okay?
Yes, Katy thank you. I've just been really busy lately and haven't had much time to myself.
Sorry to hear that. It's so important to have time for oneself. Hope things slow down for you soon!
4:02 p.m. EST Going to read for awhile and then take a nap. I'm growing tired from the constant coughing... it sure takes it out of you!
Sorry to hear that you have a cough Katy. Hope you feel better. :-)
The cough is better than the lungs-slammed-closed that I had Sunday night/Monday morning, trust me :-)7:10 p.m. EST Although I was quite sleepy, I didn't quite manage to fall asleep, between people doing drug deals by my mailbox (GAH!) and my cats doing things that made me wake up... Anyway, guess I'll read for awhile, maybe try sleeping again later.
Mod
Holly we all miss you being around girl! Good to see you post!
11:23PM woke up the little man with our cheering as the Blues beat the Kings. So he is snuggled up in bed with us for a bit. Going to try to finish my book tonight. Goodnight GR, hope everyone has a good evening. Janie I'm so glad you had a great birthday. You deserved to be spoiled. Happy birthday again.
3:39 a.m. EST Woke up earlier and couldn't sleep so up and reading. A bit concerned since we need some supplies but hubby isn't feeling well enough to go pick them up. Hopefully we'll be able to hold out until he feels a bit better, but I'm afraid we'll need cat kibble sooner than that... Just had awesome news that Colorado has granted civil unions, so my soul sister can finally marry her partner! I'm so happy for them :-D

Well hopefully your honey will wake up feeling much better! Fingers crossed. Congratulations to your friend! The cat? Well, let's just say if your cat is anything like mine - the food will be DEMANDED in no uncertain terms :)

Oh, yes, the cats do not allow an empty food dish to remain so. Of course, His Royal Fluffiness the Fluff can not eat food out of the dish like the other cats; he must have his kibble placed elsewhere. Spoiled little beasties... :-)
3:57 a.m. and I MUST force myself to bed. It's no wonder why I feel drained all the time. Push myself 20 hours a day and sleep four if I allow it. The madness must stop. Goodnight everyone and have a wonderful day (or night to my friends overseas).
G'morning Cindy! LOL SLEEP!4:09 a.m. EST Time for my prednisone and expectorant. I'll read for awhile and then try to sleep some more.
5:21am. Slept good for the 3rd night in a row, so I feel great! Beautiful mild morning, all the windows open and the fan on, enjoying the fresh air and birdsong. Chris, sorry about the 6 day stretch, things like that can be brutal. TGIF everyone!
Mod
Terri so glad you got some good rest! That is awesome!
10:10 AM. Think I am going to focus on reading for a while today. I want to get further into Under the Dome.

Hope I'm not a bad influence on you with the multiple books thing Janie :) - I got down to one book for just a minute. Now I'm back to the old habit. Just can't help myself.

11:50 a.m. and I'm picking up a used car today before work. Will be back on GR's after work. Hopefully, a little bit into The Talisman if I get the chance to read at work today. Have a great day everyone!
Mod
Thanks, Cindy. Hope you're having a good day, too.I think reading more than one book at a time is great. One is not always in fairytale-like fantasy world mood. Sometimes you just want to see how a detective will solve some gruesome murder or just ponder the reasons that make some complex character to do things. And as Janie says, it is hard not to pick up a new book.
It is 11.35 pm. Almost midnight. I finally have some time for reading again. I spent almost the whole day doing chores, fixing things at home with hubby.
7:15 p.m. Listening to music and watching the New York Knicks/Boston Celtics game. Came on GR to check up on everything really quick before I start studying.
Mod
1:35 a.m. and my stupid internet keeps going in and out AGAIN. Been having trouble for about a week now. Didn't get much of The Talisman read at work and now I have to work tomorrow. It's OK, I'm just gonna roll with it. Will read for an hour or so before bed. Have an apt. with eye doc at 11 a.m. but not sure how that's gonna work out since I have to be at work by 1 p.m. Have a great night (morning) everyone!
2:21 a.m. EST Oh, what an irritating day! I was complaining about our Internet the other day; turns out our modem crapped out and we had to go get a new one just to we aren't cut off. GAH! Husband was paid today, so we could, but ... I won't be able to pay as much toward back rent this way. *sigh* Anyway, that's why I've been off-line all day. I was able to log in briefly in the afternoon, long enough to delete a lot of junk mail, but not long enough to actually do much of anything else. Well, we're back. :-)
I'm still having problems Katy. Even had a technician from Insight out here two days ago. Was great until today. Now it's doing the same thing. I don't know what's going on. I'm with you on the frustrating day! Plus, I have to work tomorrow, but it's overtime so what the heck.
Sorry to hear you're still having problems :-( I hope it's not your modem, too!

I'm starting to think it is my router Katy. I didn't pay much for it and have had it for about two years now. Next week I should have enough money to get a new one and see.

9:45 AM. Mark and I are up and getting ready for the day! I am super happy today!! I love when my prayers are answered and especially so soon!! God is great! Mark is happy! Gizmo is happy! Pepper is happy! And, my dad is on his way home from the oil field! Now, if we could figure out breakfast and maybe i could convince Mark to take me to the bookstore because I haven't been on a long time....I just want to browse, not necessarily buy, lol...okay, I shouldn't get ahead of myself!!! :) happy Saturday my friends!!
10:55 a.m. and I have to work today. Overtime! Not exactly jumping up and down with joy over working Derby Day when I had plans, BUT the extra money is needed. A blessing really. Kathryn - I am so happy for you. It's great when things come together like that. By the way -What's for breakfast and where do you live? LOL
Have a fantastic day everyone!
Have a fantastic day everyone!
Haha Cindy! Mark had leftover pizza from last night and I had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. Not the breakfast I was thinking, but it works for me! I live in Dallas, about thirty minutes from Janie! :) Hope you have a great day!
