Sorry to hear you're having pain, Terri, hope it reduces soon. And yeah, I totally agree - I can not understand why they denied me. It doesn't make any sense at all. Especially at the hearing level! I've known much shakier cases than my own to be approved once they go to hearing. I can only assume it was the idiot "expert" who claimed that there were jobs I could do. I wanted to ask him where, exactly, he thought I could work and what, exactly, I could do with my restrictions, but my lawyer wouldn't let me.

4:04 p.m. EST Slept all day, mostly. Woke up long enough to send hubby off to work - he had to go in at noon today, so a very long day for him. I'll be reading this evening, I guess. Tomorrow I'll be starting an editing project for E.J. Dabel. His regular editor up and vanished on him, so I was next on his list. I'm quite excited to work on the Pantheons series, the first two of which I read and reviewed over the last year or so. It's a really interesting take on mythology.

So, first to clear out all the e-mail that gathered up over the past ...umm, looks like about 15 hours. O.O

[Kathryn]

4:15 PM. Got home a bit ago, and the kitties are happy we are home. Just relaxing on the couch in the cool air. Feels good to be home. Think I will crack open Horns.

Missed GR and my GR friends!!!!

Watching season 1 of THE SHIELD

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:51PM Ok so I guess I did not get my whole day of reading. LOL Although it was pretty relaxing. When to the UBS, took some more books in and ended up with $9.50 in store credit which was nice. Got 2 more Ellen Hopkin books yay! Had to pick up my meds, then swung by Freebirds and took My daughter home from work and was there for a bit. Just got home had dinner, and will be working out in about 45 Min.

[Sean]

1.50a.m.
Now, watching Season 1 of SOUTHLAND

[Julia]

9:40 pm EST - listening to "I'm In Love With My Car" by Queen w/ BF (not a fan) and reading The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.

[Katy]

11:28 p.m. EST Had to stop before I finished my book 'cause I needed to set up a giveaway to start at midnight. Figured I'd clear out my e-mail as long as I was on here. Had hubby bring me home a sub... mmmm.

[[deleted user]]

11:40 p.m. and I'm not even gonna make an attempt to catch up on the posts from the last week. Sorry folks, I've had health issues and anything else under the sun you could think of. I haven't gotten any reading at all done for a week now and I'm starting back into my books tonight. Doctor said I absolutely must lessen the stress in my life or it will be a miracle if I live another five years. Blood pressure through the roof along with all my other lovely health related beasts. I'm gonna attempt to finish The Talisman tonight but I'm not gonna worry about falling behind. It is what it is and that's OK. I really missed you guys!!

[Katy]

Oh, Cindy, so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Do what you need to do for you, and don't worry so much about the rest of us. We'll truck along just fine... :-)

I'm sure you will Katy, but this site has become a huge part of my life. I really feel like you guys are brothers and sisters to me. I'm just glad to be back and chatting with all my friends.

[Katy]

Sure, and we love chatting, but don't stress out about it. It should be FUN! :-) *hugs*

cindy- please take care of yourself- you're health is the most important thing- i'm here if you need me- hugs to you my friend :)

[[deleted user]]

Oh believe me when I say the doc put the fear of God in me, literally. I'm not gonna stress. Have been practicing some meditation and relaxation exercises. And thanks a bunch for the support! I don't have to get up early in the morning and I actually feel like reading tonight. If I get sleepy, I'll go to bed. Thanks again Rachel and Katy!

[[deleted user]]

1:07 a.m. and I'm really tired so I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone and have a great Memorial Day.

[Katy]

Sleep well, Cindy!

1:38 a.m. EST While I just started a new book, I'm hoping I'll be able to go to sleep relatively soon, as I have editing to do this week and I'd like to sleep for awhile and start fairly early tomorrow. We'll see if this happens... :-)

[Jordan]

Don't stress yourself Cindy! you're the only person you need to worry about and make sure your health is fine :)

[[deleted user]]

Cindy, please take care of yourself! **healing hugs**
(You, too Chuck!)

[Jordan]

11:51am trying out hairstyles with my sisters for one of their wedding. when we're done ill probably go into the garden and read for a while

[Kathryn]

9:23 AM. Eating cereal and catching up on GR!

Cindy, please take care of yourself!!! Even though we miss you, your health is so important! My dad has had high blood pressure for a long time now, but it wasn't discovered until he had a heart attack when I was 15. Remember to rest, try not to stress, and I am glad to hear you are doing something to help relax you. It sounds silly, but I have some of those sleep system or music which is supposed to help you sleep, and sometimes when I am stressed I listen to one. It really helps me. Hope you feel better! We miss you, and I will you in my prayers! Many hugs to you!!

I am working my way thru the top 100 psone games(except racing and fighting games).
So at present DINO CRISIS 2.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:46AM Having a relaxing morning. Hub made home made waffles. So I had a couple of those. Now I am reading XO for a bit, then I will switch to Horns and finish that today.

Cindy please take care of yourself. I have meds for my blood pressure but my doctor told me once I am more active and drop weight it will prolly not be an issue. My bp has never exceeded 190/87. Yoga has also been known to help. Just take time for yourself and try not to stress.

[Sean]

Just about to watch THE DAY TODAY which was a satirical look from 1993 at 24hour rolling news.
17.39

[Katy]

The most relaxing thing I know is to have a cat curled on my lap, purring, and a book in my hand... :-) Cats - they does a body good!

12:42 p.m. EST Didn't fall asleep as early as I wanted because of the cats. (Cats - they's also sometimes real annoying...) But finally crashed down around 6 or so. Going through e-mail land then time to do some editing. Wheee!

[Jordan]

Katy, that definitly is the most relaxing thing I've ever experienced! That's what I've got right now.

6:10pm just made myself a hot drink and am settling down with my new book

[Katy]

Sounds like fun, Jordan! I'm about ready to start this week's editing... wheee!

1:44 p.m. EST See above... LOL

[[deleted user]]

3:12 p.m. and I've had a very relaxing day. Only have a few more pages left in The Talisman so I'm gonna finish that one shortly. It is really hard to practice relaxation, but it's coming along. Hope everyone is having a fantastic Memorial Day! We had a cookout with neighbors and that was really nice.

[[deleted user]]

6:49 p.m. Need to quit reading for now because I have somewhere to go. I did accomplish my goal of finishing The Talisman today, so I'm happy. May read a little tonight before I go to bed but I get up at 5:30 a.m. now, so we'll just have to see. Have a great evening everyone!

[Katy]

8:51 p.m. EST Just taking a quick break from editing to clear out e-mail. Back to the grindstone!

[[deleted user]]

10:20 p.m. and I have to get up for work in 7 hours, so I will only be reading for an hour or so tonight. Learning to be nice to myself and actually get more than four hours sleep :).

[Katy]

11:13 p.m. EST And taking another quick e-mail break while hubby falls asleep... His Royal Majestic Fluffiness the Fluff just gave me a drive-by bitch... LOL Hope y'all had a great Memorial day! Our neighbors had a ... umm, boisterous party, and were kind enough to share their music with the whole neighborhood... *sigh* I finally drowned them out with some In This Moment and Gwar...

[[deleted user]]

11:19 p.m. and I'm off to bed. Work in the morning. Have a blessed night everyone.

[Katy]

G'night Cindy!

11:29 p.m. Back to editing!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

11:23PM Just finished Horns, now need to finish XO and then move onto more reads that are waiting for my attention. I have the Odd Thomas reads coming up, and that will be fun.

[Katy]

12:26 a.m. EST. Sleepy. Gonna take a nap. G'night!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:55AM Just had some breakfast, enjoying some coffee. Looking forward to getting more into XO now, and Glass. Had a hard time finding a 'single' listing of Glass on GR so I could post as 'currently reading' I had to go into 'my books' just to list it. Good grief what was that about. Every time I would type in Glass it would only list the set of Crank and Glass. Finally I found it on my TBR list. Took forever though. Good Morning my GR friends.

[[deleted user]]

9:01am EST. Hanging out on GR before I resume NOS4A2 (I know I'm late on reading this). Creepy but good, I'm not a huge horror person. Fell this am when my bad leg gave out. No serious injuries, just some bumps and bruises. I did hit my head and I'm on Coumadin so I have to watch that. Luckily my younger son (the recent grad!) is staying with us for a few days so he can keep an eye on me. Going to be hot today (90) so we already have the ac on. Good morning all on GR, hope you're having a great day!

[Kathryn]

9:12 AM. Had a busy weekend so I didn't get to read much like I had planned. Oh well! It was fun! Yesterday my dad had me help work on his oil field truck, so that kept me busy; plus chores like dishes and laundry. Then, I went to the store and we grilled hamburgers. I made a pasta and baked beans, as well. Forgot the vegetable though. Oops! We had a coconut cream pie for dessert, then my dad went home. Going to eat a bowl of raisin bran and make a big cup of coffee and read.

[Katy]

Oh dear, Terri - glad you're okay, but yes, be careful!

1:23 p.m. EST I am SO ANNOYED at my pain clinic. They called this morning at 9 a.m. to tell me to come in for a "random mid-month pill count". This alone ticks me off. They make us go through all this rigmarole like we're children. If a person needs the narcotic medication, they are NOT going to abuse or sell it, but they treat all of us like recidivist drug offenders. Then to make things WORSE, they said I also had to take another drug test! I just took one when I was in the clinic about 2 weeks ago, and I complained because they CHARGE US for this. But no... Anyway, I didn't provide enough output, so they said I had to wait around until I had to go again and do it again. I sat there for almost an hour and thought, "That's IT" and just walked out. I no sooner make it home than they are calling, "You need to take this test" so I had to go back in. All in all they wasted THREE HOURS of my time today, and now I'm that much farther behind. I should bill them... jerks. Really REALLY wish Georgia would legalize medical cannabis so I could go off the morphine, dust my heels of that racket, and take something that might actually HELP me...

On the plus side, I finished the Star Trek novella I was reading and started on the next Gary Reilly book. Such a pity he died so young - he was really talented. Still, we have 7 more of these books to look forward to, even if the publication is after his death (what is the word for that? Post-something... I can't remember).

Then that makes two of us Terri - late. I'm currently reading this book and only a third of the way through it. Really liking it so far.

[[deleted user]]

4:49 p.m. and I came home from work, took a shower, and got something to eat. Now I'm ready to get down to some serious reading. Told Jeff if he would actually let me read for a couple of hours without talking my head off that I will watch part of a series we've been following on Netflix. Fingers crossed.

Katy - so sorry to hear you are going through all the craziness with the clinic. Unfortunately, it only takes a couple of people to abuse substances for everyone to pay the price. Take care of yourself and I hope it gets better for you soon.

[Kathryn]

3:58 PM. I have been focused on reading most of the day. Stopped a few times for laundry and dishes. I hope to finish Horns by tomorrow. Going to workout after a while since my dad is here working on his truck. I like to be free in case he needs my help.

[Rachel]

502pm

just trying to decide what to eat for dinner.

katy-sorry they make you jump through hoops to get your pain meds

Kathryn- so cool you know how to work on cars I don't even know how to change the oil lol

[Sean]

22.55
Just watched British Gangster film ST GEORGE'S DAY.
Us Brits still can make excellent crime films. I also feel that our gangsters have just got a lot more class than your average American hood.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

5:20PM Just finished dinner, chicken alfredo. I actually convince Hub to have some. He does not like alfredo sauce on account of the Parmesan cheese. Either way, I love it! Will be working out in about 40 min. I love when I work out, makes me feel pretty good afterwards.

Terri, so glad you are ok after the fall. Plz take care.
Katy sorry you have to go through so much hoopla, but like Cindy said it only takes a couple to mess things up.
Kathryn how awesome you got to read so much today! YAY!

[[deleted user]]

6:42 p.m. and I'm taking a break from reading to watch a Netflix series Jeff and I have been following. It is called Hemlock Grove and it's really good. I didn't like the first episode, but I decided to watch one more just to see. I'm glad I did. Something both of us like and can do together since he doesn't really read much. I will be back later. Hope everyone has a great evening.

[Lucy]

00:42am on a wednesday.
Reading Game Of Thrones, and thinking that I need to head to bed soon as I know my son will have me up by 8am x

[Julia]

8:05pm EST - watching TOP GEAR BBC & reading during commercials.
Has anyone seen this show? Even if you're not a gear head it's a great show. I love it, quite entertaining.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:20PM Had my workout, and beasted it, LOL. Love when I get good work out. Now I will get back into XO and try for another 100 pages in that. That would put me to 340 pages read for today. Yay! I have a lot of great reads coming up in the near future too. I love reading.

[Cheryl (Collier)]

7:44 p.m. CDT just sitting down to read and not sure which book to open.

[[deleted user]]

9:38 p.m. and I'm gonna read for a little bit before I go to bed. Probably not a whole lot tonight. Just finished watching two episodes of Hemlock Grove with my honey.
