Whiny Friday

So I have to tell you guys what's going on with me today so I can whine about it. I'm having an endoscopy done so that my doctor can figure out why I have constant heartburn and acid reflux. They're going to sedate me, which I hate, but then they're going to stick a tube down my throat and look around and I certainly don't want to be awake for THAT, so I'll take sedation, thankyouverymuch. I'm sure everything is fine, and I'll just have take Prilosec or the Wa!-Mart version forever or whatever, but I can only drink clear liquids until 11:30 this morning and after that I cannot have anything. I cannot eat anything at all today. No, let me whine about that in all caps, because I am starting to get hungry. I CANNOT EAT ANYTHING TODAY. Whine.

Okay, moving on to books because I need to distract myself. I've had a couple great emails lately from girls to whom I sent copies of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo who loved it! That is my favorite part of sharing a book with a friend - hearing that she loved it, too. Have you read anything great lately? Tell me about it!

Oh this sucks. Good luck! I hope it all goes smoothly and turns out to be something with an easy fix.

Shelly said...

Devan - Thanks. Yeah, it really sucks.

Shelly said...

Jess - Yeah, I'm a little nervous. And hungry. Okay, mostly hungry.

Do you know that I saw that book at Target this week, and BOUGHT IT, all because of you? I'll let you know what I think. Only about 30 pages in so far.

I think I mentioned this, but I just read a historic romance fiction series by Susan Carroll. Very little historical fact though. And really probably more romance than I usually read, but they were still good. Witchcraft and all that. The first book is called The Dark Queen.

Shelly said...

Tess - YES!!! This is my goal - to take over your life, one book at a time. BWHAHAHA!!!

Seriously, though, I hope you love it. Lisbeth Salander is right up your alley, so I predict that you will.

Shelly said...

Nicole - Cool! I'll look for those.

Alice said...

that is SO DEFINITELY whine-worthy. i'd be whining, pouting, and possibly crying self-pityingly to myself in the corner. good luck, and gorge yourself tomorrow!!! :-)

Alice said...

oh wait. this was written last week. ok, i hope you have gorged yourself appropriately by now :-)

Hope everything went well with your endoscopy!

I'm reading Dies the Fire, which is another post-apocalyptic book and it's very good.
