Unfortunately, there's not much to wrap up. My read-a-thon did not go as planned - not even close. I had a little health issue that required me to take a break from reading to pick up medicine - about a 30 minute round trip. Along the way, I stopped at an estate auction that Dave was attending (sans cell phone) to tell him what I was doing. The sale was poorly attended because of the rainy weather and things were selling for a song. I got sidetracked and spent way too much time there. Eventually, I finished my run to the pharmacy and returned home.
For the next few hours I tried to read but was just too uncomfortable to concentrate. . . fast forward through several phone conversations . . . finally was told to go back to town for a different med. By that time it was late evening and I was still uncomfortable so I pretty much gave up and went to bed.
I checked back in for the last hour this morning and found the Share A Song Mini-Challenge hosted by Reno at Falling Letters - Share a song featured in or inspired by one of the books you read today. Since I got very little reading done, I decided to share a couple songs that fit my entire read-a-thon experience.
First up - - Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show - "I Got Stoned and I Missed It." No, I wasn't actually stoned, but it was drugs, in some form, that caused me to miss most of the day.
Thankfully, this wonderful day comes around every six months. So I'll mark my calendar for October and join Carly Simon in Anticipation.
Hope you are doing better today.
ReplyDeleteI've only tried to participate in one read-a-thon and I found that you really need buy in from your family. I did well with the audio books but paper was hard to get at when kids needed driving. As you said, there is always next time. take care
What a great take on a meme! Well done, even though it wasn't what you had in mind at the outset.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to go get meds, but come on! Estate auction? You gotta! What goodies did you come home with?
