I grabbed my book and threw it in my bag to take to work. Today is scheduled as a rest day from my marathon training. I was hopeful that I’d enjoy a relaxing lunch break and finally have some time for reading. That was a big mistake; I probably cursed it.
I was so frustrated, angry even, at the request for further edits to the protocol. The feedback was good, but I was still at my wit’s end. It isn’t as if we have just started working on this. We have been working on this project for over 3 months and NOW a few select people have finally found the time to read it.
I was certain that the required edits would take over my evening too. I am so tired of bringing my work home with me. I know that everyone does it, but I can’t help but feel cheated out of what little time I have for myself.
Thankfully, I was able to push through to the very end of the day. So now, I have some select reading of my own. It is finally my time.
Although, I have had the book since Saturday morning, I am only on page 7. I wanted to take my time and savor this book (since it the last), but I was not planning to take it this slow.
Anyhow, I have to go now; this muggle has a date with…
Okay, I admit I actually don’t have a clue what I have a date with.
I got it. I have a date with HARRY. Yeah, that’s it. Harry, sweep me away.
I haven’t been to bed before midnight since Friday thanks to that book. I find myself skim reading super fast just to see what is going to happen and then going back to reread that chapter to savor it. My ds has already finished it and I have to hurry before he spoils something.
I hope Harry swept you away!
Enjoy the last one. If you can believe it I’m two behind.
I haven’t bought it yet, but it’s on my list. Enjoy!
I was rather impressed with myself for putting it down and going for a run about halfway through.
Hope you enjoyed the book!
I love these books, but haven’t bought this one yet.. I’m sort of hoping someone else will finish it soon and I can borrow. Must keep saving all my pennies for our upcoming travels. So don’t post any spoilers!
I would be mad about bringing work home too. Have fun with Harry!
Amanda: I so hear you on the penny saving. I am now pricing the flights to Chicago and wondering if I really need to run the marathon. It’s Crazy because I have worked so hard and waited so long to run one. My last marathon was Grandmas (June 2006). I’ll make it work; I just need to get the courage up. I really don’t want to wait until December for CIM
I WAS swept away…right to sleep. At least something is working to help me sleep.
