Time change is messing with me already. Upstairs neighbor kept everybody in the building up all night, so I missed church since I didn't get to bed until nearly 6 a.m. I guess it has its advantages too with me starting a night shift job Monday. Plan to let Jeff have the laptop for a while and I'm gonna read.

[Adam]

My wife and I invited my older sister over last night and we ended up hanging out talking until well after 4 am. Slept in and got all confused with the time change as well. Just finished 30 minutes of guitar practice, trying to teach myself to play Hotel California. Now I am going to burrow into my library in search of something to read. I finished the biopography of Robert Plant yesterday, and enjoyed the hell out of it. If you are into that kind of thing, I recommend it.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Adam. I am putting it on my TBR list. I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. One of these days I will! I too am retreating to the other room so I can read. Hope your back is getting better.

[Adam]

Thanks, Cindy. Honestly I have been in a sort of blue funk lately, which is why I have not been on as much as usual. I feel alright today, so I have emerged from my shell for a bit. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

[[deleted user]]

Signing off for a while and retreating to the bedroom to read from some hard copies. Be back in a little while.

[Angie]

Hope your upstairs neighbours are a bit quieter for you tonight Cindy.

[[deleted user]]

Got sidetracked. Cooked some bacon and eggs for dinner earlier and got one hell of a headache. Have been laying down the last few hours. I did get some reading done, but plan to read a lot more tonight.

Thanks Angie. I do too. Want to read tonight.

[Holly]

Waiting for my hubby to get home from work so we can watch The Walking Dead together and get our date night started!

[Gary]

Walking Dead was awesome tonight Holly.

[Holly]

That's good to know; thanks Gary! Can't wait to watch it.

[Angie]

I haven't seen any of the episodes since it came back on after the Christmas break. What's been happening? Please please tell me!! And I don't mind spoilers,lol. Is the governor a zombie, are the group back together,what's happening to Carol???

[[deleted user]]

I just fixed something for Jeff to eat while I'm at work tonight. Plus I'm taking some of it to work with me (chili). Getting ready to take my shower and read some of The Goldfinch.

[Angie]

What are you doing in your new job Cindy?

[[deleted user]]

Will get my job assignment tonight Angie. All I know is that it is a fulfillment center. They have shoes, purses, etc. Geared mostly towards women. The name of the company is JustFab if this gives you an idea.

[[deleted user]]

Going to work now!! Yes! So grateful to have a job.

[[deleted user]]

Will be on and off for me unless it's a day off work. We are on mandatory 10 hour days and working five days. I am presently catching up on GR's posts, fixing something to eat for work, reading a LITTLE, and getting ready for work. Wish I didn't have so many books going at once. You would think I would have learned my lesson by now. REALLY hurting in my back and can barely move. Soaked in Epsom Salt for about 20 minutes when I got home this morning. Fingers crossed by body will hang in there for a week or so until I get accustomed to the demands on my body, especially my back.

[[deleted user]]

Off to work. Should be off tomorrow = READING + BODY RECUPERATION.

[Julia]

Just finished dinner and surprised BF w/ brownies. I was going to make chocolate chip cookies, but I forgot to take the butter out.

[[deleted user]]

Woke up late because it took me forever to go to sleep after getting off work this morning. My back was hurting so bad my knees buckled from underneath me. Better now. Off work tonight so I plan an all-nighter to catch up on some reading.

[Holly]

Feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Gosh, I really need some me time. Don't think I'm ever going to get any of that. Oh well..... :/

[[deleted user]]

Sorry Holly. I have went through this quite a bit myself and can totally understand your frustration. I'm laying back down for an hour. It just now hit me how sleepy I am.

[Holly]

It's okay Cindy. I'm kind of used to it by now.
Have a good rest!

[Angie]

Hey guys, I'm just letting people know who read this thread that Cindy won't be on for a few days. She been admitted to hospital with a worrying irregular heartbeat and kidney stones. I'm sure that all our best wishes and prayers are with her at this time.

[[deleted user]]

Still in the hospital folks. Hope to go home tomorrow. Been reading some but it's a bit harder than I thought. Not in a private room. Just wanted to give an update. Hope to be back in the groove soon.

Get well soon, Cindy. BTW, sometimes I resort to using earplugs when I can't tune everything out.

[Adam]

Hope you recover quickly, Cindy. My thoughts are with you, dear.
As for me, I am making final preperations for my trip to Charlotte, where I will meet with my brother to participate in the Mad Monster Party.
I am terrified of flying, but I have been informed that most air travel is perfectly safe, which really failed to make me feel any better about it.

[Julia]

My thoughts and prayers are with you Cindy for a fast recovery.

Right now I'm packing for my trip to Tallahassee to pick up my $400 million MegaMoney lotto win. I've already told the girls I work with not to expect me tomorrow.

[Angie]

Did you really win all that money Julia or are you joking? Just think of all the books you could buy,lol. Adam can you not take a pill to help you relax on the plane, I think lots of people do.

[Julia]

Just kidding.... there was a winning ticket in Fla in Merritt Island, about 40 minutes from where I live. One of my co-workers has relatives in Merritt Island and called to see if they were winners.... she can't get in touch w/ them so she's got her fingers crossed.

My fantastic 85 yr old roommate went home today. I am happy for her, but wish it were me. Still can't get my blood to thin out and I am a ticking time bomb right now according to the doctors. Oh well, just gonna read.

[Addy]

Watchin season 1 of Game of Thrones baby! No reading tonight!

[☆Joycedale☆]

Get better soon Cindy.
I've been slowing making it through this months reads i signed up for. 18 down 7 more to go. I don't understand why I keep signing for the challenges. Just logged on to leave a review for a book an author sent me.
My daughter broke her wrist skateboarding friday night. Went and got the plaster cast 2day and she was upset they was out of green so she got pink.

[Addy]

Haven't been on this thread lately. Been busy with new job and making all the adjustments that come with it, esp when u got kiddos.

Cindy, be praying for you and hoping you feel better with time, and Adam, good luck on the flight. Wish I could be there!

Its good to hear from you Cindy:) I hope you get out of hospital soon and my thoughts are with you:-)

Are you enjoying your new job Addy, it must be difficult for you to leave your little ones after being at home with them for a couple of years.

[[deleted user]]

Just got home a couple of hours ago. I'm exhausted now and plan to do absolutely nothing but read and watch the basketball game at 9:40. Had to learn to give myself shots in my stomach before they would let me come home. Small price to pay. Didn't mind at all.

[sonny (no longer in use)]

drinking iced tea and doing my beauty (in my case lack off) regime before finishing this short but ferocious novel.

[Holly]

I really need to get some stuff done, but instead I'm hanging out on GR. Go figure, lol.

[Angie]

Its really good to have you back Cindy, and I hope you manage with your shots. You must be pleased to be back at home. Its late here, 3.5 am!! I'm going to have a pecan Danish and a cup of tea. And turn my nexus of, I need to sleep. Night guys:D!! Take care Cindy:)

[Angie]

Its 9.40pm here and for the past few days I've been trying to sort out how to lend out my kindle books. But it seems this feature isn't available in the UK yet:( Does anybody have any idea when this might change? Its very annoying not to be able to loan out my books! Sorry for now Natasha.

[Adam]

Hanging out at The Mad Monster Party with my bro in Charlotte. After a rough few months this is exactly what the doctor ordered!

[Angie]

How's it going there Adam? I'd of loved to of gone to meet you all, you need to take lots of photos!!

Wow, how come you have to shots in your stomach, Cindy? Are you diabetic?

[GeneralTHC]

I guess I'm going to get all off into my Dan Simmons book. It's a fat book and I still have almost half of it left, but I'm going to try to read the rest right now.

[Holly]

Studying and listening to the Bulls game.

[sonny (no longer in use)]

drinking cheap Italian wine, listening to Japan on my cigarette break from the book I am racing through. trying not to break my heart so soon.

[Angie]

Sonny my son is giving me some Murakami books for mothers day, I've seen you read quiteand enjoy them.

Cindy are you diabetic now, that's so bad on top of everything else. What's happening on the job front now, are you going to be allowed some time to get a bit healthier? My thoughts are with you:-)

[sonny (no longer in use)]

angie I am going to read another murakami book but there are two massive authors with the same name, one is a surrealist writer and the one I read is a psycho thiller writer. I want to read the other but murakami (thriller) is very interesting considering I haven't read read much non western transgressive fiction

[Addy]

I love my job so far and its funny because its a relief to go to work and be away from the kids...lol. I hope I don't sound bad, its just very trying raising kids these days. I love them to death, but working is kind of a nice needed break and its only part time. I think it would be harder if it were full time.

[Kate]

What kind of work is it you're doing, Addy?
