December Doohickies Day 4

 

Look at me go! So things should be settling down and returning back to sorta normalcy. She's back home from the hospital and getting settled in. Her nurse will be visiting her to check in sometime today and I have work later, but in the middle of the day I have plenty of "spare time" to use to read. 

I'm going to be meal prepping some foods and a bit of tidying up and of course taking care of the lady but I think I'm going to aim for an hour or two of reading in total today. 

I am going to do a mini readathon tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll aim for 10-12 hours total reading time tomorrow. I have plans for the night so it'll be day reading a bunch. 

Still reading Mistborn and A History Of Women in America. I'm going to try to finish AHoWiA tomorrow. 

December Doohickies Day 3

 

This one is going to be a short update. Yesterday, the woman that I am a caregiver for had to have an ambulance pick her up and take her to the ER. She's fine, had to have a minor surgery and is due to come home sometime today. I didn't read much yesterday obviously and kind of had to grab whatever food I could snag quickly. 

Today is my day off from work, but with all that's bound to happen today I don't know how much actual reading time I'll be able to squeeze in. 

I do have Friday off, so maybe that can be my designated reading day? She usually has her nurse visit then, but that's only an hour or so out of the day. 

So there's my Day 2 update. 

Today I will squeeze in as much reading as I can manage. I am exhausted though, I didn't get to bed until about 2:30am and got a text from her at about 5 something (was too bleary eyed to see for certain) letting me know how she was doing. 

How's your December going so far? 

See ya tomorrow! 

December Doohickies Day 2

 

How's it going ya'll? This isn't gonna be a long post or anything, but yesterday went swimmingly. I got my 2 hours of reading in, finished my to do list and stuck to my goals for exercise and diet. So good on me! 

Today I didn't do the treadmill but I did some stretches and have been on my feet a lot already. I'm about to have my breakfast and get some reading started up. 

Mistborn is hooking me in and I'm really enjoying it. My kindle told me I started out with a bit over 15 hours of read time and I finished up with a little over 11 hours left (not sure how that translates to pages). So I take that as a win too! 

I also did some reading in my other book, History of Women in America. That's a more "thinky" kind of book so it is slow going but very very interesting! I am liking Mistborn (first in the series) so much I went ahead and got the next two books!

It's a cold, wet day today so I don't know how my energy is going to hold out but I'm going to do my best to stay on this streak!

Tomorrow I have the day off so I am going to really really focus on reading! 

I hope you all have a wonderful day and "see" you tomorrow! 

December Doohickies Day 1

 So I'mma try a little something something this month and see how it goes. Are you prepared for the rambles? Tooo bad cuz that's what you're getting! I'm thinking that from now until the end of the year I'll do little daily posties to keep myself accountable for my reading, fitness and just about anything that I am up to. I'm calling it December Doohickies Days. 

I'm on day 2 of my restart of the carnivore diet, I had a little slip up over the weekend so I began anew Sunday. I woke up today feeling great! After getting my furry creatures fed, I jumped on the treadmill for a little leisurely walk. 

Nothing major, just about 20 minutes to get the blood pumping before I filled my body with all the caffeine! 

Got some cleaning tasks done and a shower so now I'm able to sit and relax a bit. Coffee and books at the ready. I'm gonna get a nice chunk of Mistborn read before I have to get up off my booty and do more things. 

Later on before I go to work I think I'll catch up on Welcome To Derry. Anyone else watching it? I'm loving it! I even paid for the HBO Max subscription to renew! 

I'm not sure what I will have for dinner, thinking it'll be an easy day and do breakfast for dinner or something like that. (Bacon and eggs..lots of bacon!) 

My goal for the day (I'll let you know if I make it) is to read about 2 hours total for the day. I'll keep track on my timer for it. I don't go into work until 6 (it's 9am ish atm) but I do have lots of things to do before then. I'll let ya'll know tomorrow!

So how's your December starting out? What are your goals? What are you watching? 

A Bookish December

 

I know I know, I come and then I go and then I come back and then I go again. Lately I've been contemplating the future of this blog. Should I keep it or should I let it die? I'm not ready to say goodbye to Much Read Faster, so that leaves me with no other choice but to keep on chugging. My reading has fallen into a slump of sorts, but I've been making it a daily priority and I'm feeling that sluggish bookworm start to wake up again! 

I'm dangling the carrot in front of it to get it ready to chow down on some yummy papery delights this month..

My goals for December are to gobble up 10 books. That's a doable amount I think. 

I won't make a TBR stack but I have a few in mind. 

Currently I'm reading these two: 

So those are my starting books for the month. 

I'm also thinking about doing a couple of my own personal readathons this month too. I have Wednesdays and Fridays off work, so I might just pick on of those days each week to read all day if I can? We shall see how that goes. I'm finding myself less and less attracted to doomscrolling and aimless watching of things and more drawn to my books and kindle, so I'm going to take from one bad distraction and feed a much better one. 

What are you planning this month? Do you have any goals to finish up the year? Drop me some recommendations for books that you are reading or excited about!
