Totally wasted day

I got up at noon today, only because I thought I heard someone at the door. Sure enough, there was. Finally about 3 I decided to get dressed. Now, not even 12 hours later, I'm ready to go back to bed. I did take both my morning & evening meds. And I filled the med boxes for Don, Nick & myself. Tomorrow I fill Mother's med boxes.

I hate feeling this crappy. The other day Rod asked me if I was sick. I said no I just don't feel good. There's a difference. He agreed. There are many days when I just don't feel good & today was one of those days.

I had many plans for today & didn't do any of them. However, I did read my scriptures & was thrilled to find out that there is a catch up day built into the booklet. I am already a day behind on my scheduled reading, although I have read every day. I am on day 18 of Lent but only day 17 of the booklet. It doesn't seem possible almost 3 weeks are gone already.

I also finished The Language of Baklava, one of the library books for Let's Talk About It. I gave it 4.5. It was sad, but also  laugh-out-loud-good. I was sad to see it end. The book for this coming Wednesday is a trilogy, three books in one, sigh. There are 386 pages. I still haven't read the first 2 books of the series. I know I won't finish this one either. Then there is the Whitney 2nd Ward book club on March 17, The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society, then the last discussion of Let's Talk About It on March 24 of Chocolat. The sad thing is, those 5 books are due then & I really do want to finish them.

Still reading

I blogged about signing up to participate with the reading program at the Larsen-Sant Library here. The program is sponsored by the Idaho Commission for Libraries & is appropriately named Let's Talk About It. The theme this year is "You Are What You Eat." The committee chose 5 out of a possible 8 books to read this year.

The first one was Choice Cuts by Mark Kurlansky. Interesting non-fiction book. I had a hard time reading it. I am not even halfway through it. I've still got a month to read it though.

Dustin Crawford, a professor from Utah State University, led the discussion. He said this is not a book to read page by page, but to skip around in. If I skip around in it, can I say I read it?

There is a recipe is for Chicken Intestine Omelet. It even tells you how to prepare the chicken guts to make it.

Crawford is originally from Paris, Idaho. His mom was there that night & I discovered she was with Don's Grandma Mildred when she died. I've heard of Jeri Crawford for years. G-ma Mildred used to take care of Jeri's handicapped daughter.

The next book is Climbing the Mango Trees, a memoir.That discussion was held Wednesday night, Feb. 10. I didn't finish this book either. Another fascinating discussion, this one led by a lady prof, also from USU, I think. I had a hard time relating to this book as I don't have lots of "close" relatives. And, again, the foods are not something I would eat.

I do enjoy the discussions though. I feel like I've come a long way to be able to attend these discussions without having a panic attack. I even participate in them. I have to sit on the back row though, so I can "escape" if I need to. I like to get there early so I can sit where I want to, LOL.
