I did something yesterday that I hadn't done in quite awhile, I took a nap. It felt so good too. I haven't been sleeping well and I was sitting here reading and I just felt so tired, so I got up and told Dave I was going to go and take a nap. At 2:30 this morning Dave and I were woken up by the dogs barking. There was probably something outside, but I felt worse for Dave because he was the one who had to get up at 5:00. I slept until 8:00 because Jake started barking for me to get up. He gets his thyroid pill in a little piece of cheese, so that's why he was barking. He doesn't care about the pill, just the cheese.
I've also been on a reading frenzy. I've been reading the kindle versions of the Cedar Cove Series by Debbie Macomber and after I finished one, I had to start on the next one to see what was happening with the characters. I did that with the Chesapeake Shores Series by Sheryl Woods. I just bought the latest from each series, so I'm not done yet.
I'm like that, I stumble on to a book that sounds good and I read it and then discover it's part of a series, so I go back and read the others. This summer has been so hot, so I did a lot of reading.
I'm fortunate in that my mom taught me the love of reading. She was always reading. She liked mysteries though. I'm the romance type myself. My problem though is once I start reading a good one, it's hard for me to put it down, or what has been the case this summer, turning off my computer. When my Kindle's screen got cracked and I couldn't use it, I downloaded Kindle for PC onto my laptop rather than buy a new Kindle and have been reading books on it. It's gotten to where I would read rather than go up on my usual sites. If I did, I didn't stay very long because I wanted to get back to reading my book, unless I forgot to close out the site then it may have looked like I was there, but I really wasn't. I only did that a couple times though and more so with Amazon after buying and downloading a book into my Kindle for PC than any other.
I do still go to the gym. In fact David and I have signed up for monthly memberships, where you pay each month instead of a year in advance. Needless to say, the housework has been suffering though.
Now, now,....I don't think housework suffers at all. Housework has no feelings. If it did, it would take pity on us and clean up on its own!
ReplyDeleteI love reading too. I like almost all genres, but I'm not much into science fiction and I recently had to redefine romance novels. I was first drawn to Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series about the knit shop as those books are often sold in yarn shops. I have branched out and read other series of hers and didn't think of them as romances until looking for them in a bookstore. I spent many years thinking all romance novels were like the 'Harlequin Romance' books that I never enjoyed.
Does your library offer ebooks? I've read a few that way. They go through my Kindle account and are available for two weeks. I get an email when they are about to expire (disappear) but I've always finished them long before that happens. They aren't renewable.

ReplyDeleteMade a few spelling errors before. Jake is barking for his evening pill which gets wrapped in cheese, but it's not time yet.
DeleteI just finished Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series a couple weeks ago. I liked it. I read her Blossom Street series a few years ago. I also like Sheryl Woods and a few others. I've had fun discovering new authors too.
