Very wise words :) although I do still like setting a challenge for myself!!

[Faye]

Know what you mean Kristen, however, I find I get stressed sometimes thinking I am behind in reading or I have to get this book back to the library and don't enjoy the book as I should.

[Marianne]

the book whisperer is unwell....
I just rang work to say I don't think I'll be in tomorrow or Friday as I am aching all over, have no energy and can't stop coughing. And they know I'm not pulling a swiftie as this is very uncharacteristic for me, taking a sickie, as evidenced by the fact that I have months worth of sick leave.

I only walked 6km on the treadmill this morning, then decided I was too tired to do any more. After brekky, I walked to the PO & shops, half my usual distance, then dragged myself back home. Had a coffee (not as nice as usual, no wonder I've lost a kilo in a few days, nothing tastes great). And now I'm going to bed!

Oh no, Marianne, that sounds suspiciously flu-like... Hope it isn't too long an illness - when do you go away...??

Oh no Marianne! That's no good at all:( Take care of yourself - hot lemon drinks and all those remedies might hopefully help you. Thinking of you **hugs**

[Marianne]

Had a long nap and now doing some chores at very reduced speed, had a hotlemon and honey, that tasted nice so more of those on the cards. We leave in 12 days. But tomorrow and Fri were my last work days, so I have a bit of time to sort things out

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Glad you feel a little better - but do take it easy Marianne:)

[Sharon]

Yes, easy goes, Marianne... the best thing is normally rest.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh not good getting flu at any time Marianne, think you must have run yourself ragged!.. still it might get you rested up before your big holiday. At least you can afford to relax now that your job is not a concern. Take care and keep up the lemon drinks and baths (if you have one), they are good for the soul :)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I will be out of town for the next couple of days and don't expect to be communicating here during that time...just in case anyone thinks I've dropped off the planet ;D

Just visiting friends Phrynne, a couple of hours north of Sydney. Won't be getting any reading done :( but expect to have some fun :))

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Just as a matter of interest for e-readers:

[Marianne]

Thanks all for your good wishes.
This spending hours in bed is not getting any reading done. But it does prove to me that I really am unwell, because nothing else would stop me from reading!
Jools, glad you are not dropping off the planet: have a nice time!

I know Brenda, not very far from you I think. But we will be staying with friends who have made plans. They have moved into their new house and we are going to "warm it" for them :))

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!! Ok then, I'll forgive you this time;) Just have lots of fun!!!

Hope you're feeling a lot better soon, Marianne.

Haha!!! Oh well, next time;D

[Marianne]

Fever does strange things to dreams. There were animals with pin-striped fur...

[B the BookAddict]

Spooky when you dream like that.

[Sharon]

Guys there is another article, about my sister, in Take 5 magazine - there is reference to the article on the front page. I have read it yet, but they have a typo on the front page with "cases" instead "case"

take5mag.com.au/

[Neko]

Nothing like the morning crows to spoil a silent morning coffee..ggrrr!!

Oh fever dreams can be strange! My dreams last night were good but not due to a fever.

[Sharon]

Laura, dreams were good but not due to fever? Share or would that be too much information? :D

[Marianne]

Don't make me laugh, Rita, it just sets off a bout of coughing! What a pity you woke so soon.

[Sharon]

Ditto!

The more coverage the better. I really hope someone comes forward with some information. The not knowing must be so hard.

[Neko]

You know when you want something to come true? Well, I was thinking about something that I want before I went to bed and within the dream it happened...So, I woke with a nice smile on my face recalling the dream. Tis all I will say about it..lol

@Rita - Maybe you should enter more comps on here then :D

If you keep getting rid of the ad that pops up (by hitting the X on the top of the ad) eventually they will send you another ad, keep doing that and eventually gladwrap lady will pop up

[Carolyn]

I just saw the ad with the woman with the four hands for the first time. Had no idea what people were talking about before! Gladwrap lady was there yesterday.

Me too!! as in I just saw the woman with 4 hands for the first time too, its a bit creepy. Havent seen Glad Wrap Lady yet.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Oh no! I thought they had gone away. There's a whole thread about unwanted ads on the Goodreads Forum. It's not helpful however.

[Kathryn]

It's funny - I hardly ever pay any attention to the ads. When you guys mention them, I have to scroll up to the top to see which ad is there - currently a DHL one...

The woman with what looks like blood all over her face is a really disgusting one Michael. Not sure what it's meant to be saying, and don't want to find out!
