Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 12:37 p.m. EST Sat in the sun for a bit and now I'm clearing out e-mail before I read. I have a 2nd pass to do on an edit job that I'll probably do tonight since I won't have time to read another book, but I'll start one since I have my pain clinic appointment on Tuesday. To make things worse it's in the afternoon, which I've avoided for years because they are so slow in the afternoon, but there was no help for it. It was scheduled for this last Thursday and by Tuesday I didn't have the money for it so I rescheduled, but then I was paid for this next week's job but it was too late to switch it back. *shrug* So I'll be doing some reading. Last time I had an afternoon appointment I was there for 3 1/2 hours, give or take, whereas with a morning appointment I'm usually out in an hour.

8:25 p.m. and I had a pretty good Mother's Day. My son came over to visit and I got rid of some furniture because I am getting a new couch and kitchen table tomorrow. Made me happy to give it to someone who had absolutely no furniture. Reading? Well, that's another story. Been so busy all weekend that I've probably read a total of maybe 30 pages. Gonna try to read for a couple of hours tonight. Told Jeff I really needed some "me" time. He is so sweet and understanding! Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.

MEAT, FINALLY! Glad you got some food Katy.


message 4159: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Yeah, I was a mess by the time he finally went... shaky and weak. I do not do well if I don't have regular red meat, which is so expensive... *sigh*

11:24 p.m. EST Was going to edit but am not feeling so well, so I think I'll e-mail the author and tell her I'll do it later this week and just rest tonight and start my editing on Scott Rhine's 3rd Jezebel novel tomorrow, do the 2nd pass later next week. Just my stomach not used to real food, I imagine... LOL

You probably did get your stomach a little upset if you ate red meat after a long stretch without. Feel better soon Katy.


message 4161: by [deleted user] (new)

120 pages tonight. I don't remember the last time I was able to sit undisturbed and get this much reading in. Now I'm tired and will most likely go to bed. If, I don't start on NOS4A2. Have a buddy read starting tomorrow on the Joe Hill book.

message 4164: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Oh, no, I had some bacon and pancakes for dinner last night at IHOP; the Hamburger Helper will be tonight :-)

3:44 p.m. EST Hmm, I've never really kept track of how many pages I read, but I started this book about 3 or 4 yesterday afternoon and read 220 pages over the course of the night. About ready for a nap. Listened to all the music on my music player dated 1970, had several hours worth. Have 1988 playing now... LOL

Victor, I hope you feel better!

I feel really guilty; my husband forgot to call his mom yesterday ... I should have reminded him, but it slipped my mind :-(

1:03 p.m. EST just finishing my e-mail and then it's time for editing. Actually read most of the book I started late yesterday! Just enough left to make it through today and I'll be taking a fresh one to the doctor's office tomorrow afternoon.

9:15PM Hubby went to bed and so has Aeverie. So now it is really quiet and great reading time. Trying to get to at least pg 50 in Nexus, but wow it is a little confusing to me. Once I get there I will go back to The Silence of the Lambs. Got 2 of my trees planted, both Crape Myrtles. We will plant the hydrangea and the hummingbird vine in a couple of days.


message 4174: by [deleted user] (new)

12:30 a.m. and I came home from work tonight to a clean house! What a surprise. My honey usually does the dishes and makes the bed only. I really need to catch up on my reading because I have been terribly busy for a week now. This really helps. I also discovered a book that I had somehow marked as read, but I just started it tonight. Hope you feel better soon Victor.

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 1:35 a.m EST AUGH! Have not made much progress AT ALL on my editing. This afternoon I became so sleepy so I tried to nap but couldn't fall asleep, so I tried to edit, but couldn't focus, so tried to nap again but couldn't fall asleep.... O.o Finally managed a couple hours, but soon I'll have to go to bed since I Have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and can't stay up all day.... how frustrating....

Hot tea?


message 4178: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Most of my teas have a lot of sugar or caffeine, so wouldn't really help. If my muscle relaxers don't put me out, I'm pretty much awake :-)

4:23 a.m. EST Time to try to sleep again...

Sleep? What is this sleep thing? It isn't bad, she is a really good sleeper and with my wife and I working together we can take a nap if one of us needs it. My son has been a big help.

Slowly getting a little reading in here and there. Need to try to get some writing done. I still have a review that I need to write. Hope everyone is doing well.

2:04PM Sitting here hoping little one nods off. He does not know what he wants to do today. He got up at 6:30AM with me today and he acts tired but he is still going. He is watching Open Season 3 right now. Hope he settles in!

Cindy that would be awesome if you get on days! YAY for you.

Alondra Miller 8:14pm ET. Chilling out after a long weekend of gardening, minimal reading (ugh) and my mother is in town. After this visit, I may need therapy or a gun... not sure which.

*munches on chocolates*


message 4194: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:26 PM. Didn't get to workout like I had planned, but it was for a good cause. I will make up for it tomorrow. Cooked a scrumptious dinner, cleaned the kitchen, and I have been catching up on GR and Facebook for a while. Can't wait for delicious ice cream soon! Oh, and I have my Gizzie baby next to me. :)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 12:57 a.m. EST just taking a quick break from editing to clear out e-mail. One of my husband's co-workers picked up discounted tickets for Star Trek, so about this time tomorrow we'll be sitting in a theatre ready to be blown away! wOOt!!


message 4196: by [deleted user] (new)

Extremely stressed and annoyed tonight and can't seem to pinpoint the reason. I'm behind on my reading, but it shouldn't be a stressful experience. So what if I'm a little slow right? Ahhhh!

9:54AM Kay stayed home from school sick today. At least that is what she told me. Head ache and tummy ache. Hmmm maybe it is more like staying awake too long last night? We were on Google chat with my Sister and niece it is a great way to keep in touch. We had a lot of fun. Wanna read a bit more today than I did yesterday. Good Morning GR friends!
