Read-a-Thon: The Results
So after I got home from the doctor's today I didn't do any more reading.
But I did get some things done today. I read two stories each in Paris Stories, The New Weird, Rasskazy, Good Evening, Mrs. Craven, The New York Stories of Edith Wharton and four from Prizes: The Selected Stories of Janet Frame. I decided to weed the last two; I didn't like the stories I read and I'm not interested in reading more. I'm giving The New Weird to my husband; I started two stories that I didn't finish and decided I'm done with that one, too. But I really enjoyed Good Evening, Mrs. Craven, and look forward to reading more.
After I got home I tried to read some other things but nothing was holding my attention and I decided the thing to do was to relax and watch some TV.
I did read some more of Solar while I was waiting to pick my prescription though- so all is not lost!
I want to thank all the nice people who commented all day and cheered me on. I appreciate it, and I promise to do better next time!

No apologies necessary, Marie! The thing that is so great about this event is that you define your own parameters of "success." If I hit 15 hours today, I'll be very pleased with myself!
Marie...you did your best under the circumstances presented you.
TV watching was a good idea, and probably good medicine in addition the the antibiotics.
Don't be hard on yourself.
It's all just for fun - at least you gave it a shot!
You did great!!! I'm trying to keep going but it's so hard because I'm starting to get really sleepy!
sorry if I bullied you with all my cheering! :) I was on twitter so much and didn't really visit as many blogs as I should (it was just that Twitter loaded faster and was a much better way to feed my manicness.)
Hope kitty is OK.
HAPPY LIBRARY WEEK!
