Good Morning!
I seem to have put myself into a habit of sleeping a little later and then bustling around getting ready for work…. GAH. I don’t like that. The craziness of life, scheduling, etc has come to a point where I feel I am in overdrive for 15+ hours a day…. crash and do it again.
What is suffering?
sleep patterns
work out priorities
probably me 😛
I am working on this… and this morning felt a little more to the norm than it has in a while. I actually got up with time to spare. It went like this:
- Up, let dogs out, get ready while listening to The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian on my IPOD.
- COFFEE is ready and I sit at my Laptop (Asus) and pop up my emails. FAVORITE morning email has clearly become the Shelf Awareness newsletter that pops into my email box each weekday morning at 7 am. Seriously, if you are a book lover and are not subscribed to this newsletter; do so now (there is a link to it on my right side bar). Not only does it has info on hot books, but also authors (not all hot but authors just the same…. ha ha), giveaways, bookstores, and more. I love reading it!
- Second cup of COFFEE (hello caffeine my constant friend!) while listening to the audio in my CD player in the kitchen. Just started We The Animals by Justin Torres this morning.
- Now – out the door with COFFEE Cup (also my traveling friend), a can of soup for lunch, and now in my jeep listening to Snow Flower And The Secret Fan by Lisa See.
Work today, which I am normally off on Fridays but our office manager is on vacation this week and I offered to cover her Friday shift since I took a bonus day off last week for the girls weekend. 😀 Should be a quiet day in the office and then…. after three….
the weekend…
is mine. 😛
Book Journey 
I’ve got to say I’m always so impressed that you can listen to 3 books at once! I can read three books at once but I’m still getting used to audio so I don’t want to push my luck! Maybe one day…
You can do it Christa!
Yes, I agree with Christa….I couldn’t possibly listen to three books at once. I don’t even listen to one, as you know!
There’s something about “visual” that sticks to my memory banks. Audio, not so much.
Although if someone somewhere is saying something interesting, my ears perk up and I grab it! LOL
Hope you manage to subdue some of the craziness in your schedule…and smell the flowers! Although, I suspect you manage to work that in, too!
Its Friday afternoon Laurel and my work week is complete. 😀 I feel good with a low low low commitment weekend which I believe includes tomorrows readathon…. 😀
You may remember that I’ve said I can only read one book at a time and that’s normally true. However, now I’m reading one on my computer (not my favorite way to read one but there you are . . .) and so I’m also reading an actual book. Thank heaven they are totally different but I’m still having quite a time with this. Too bad I don’t have a laptop so I could just read the one.
I usually have a couple… maybe three going of different genre…. different level of commitment needed 😀
I wish I had Fridays off 😦
I normally do….
Hi Sheila…hope u like Night Strangers. I hope you have a great time with the read-a-thon – I’m couldn’t join in this time:(
Too bad that you had to work for part of today, but it sounds like you’ve claimed a good chunk of it for read-a-thon-ing anyway. And your stack of books looks as though you’ve got something for every reading mood. Hope you’re having fun with all of it! Keep those pages turnin’!
Cheering for you from Team Trix
Thanks 🙂
