Marathon of Books Blog - February 26th, 2014

Dear Canadian Teen Book Lovers,

I went down to the Canadian Children's Book Centre today to catch up on my book chats and return some books. On the way home I got on a TTC Finch bus with a wheelchair lift, only to have it malfunction after I was on the bus.

Good thing I had today's book, "Sporeville" by Paul Marlowe to keep me entertained while I watched and waited for the fire department to come and fix the lift so I could get off the bus. There was even some discussion about four of the firemen carrying me and my wheelchair off of the bus themselves, but fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately?) it didn't come to that.

This evening my sister and I attended a concert of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Evan Mitchell) performing orchestral arrangements from Pixar movies. It was our Christmas present to each other from last year.

I had a wonderful time, but reading "Sporeville" took me longer because my reading was choppy and mostly occurred while I was travelling somewhere. I'm still out of sync with my routine since last week's conference and having to read two Lucy Maud Montgomery books, but I'm hoping after tomorrow I will be able to slow down a bit and restore my morning reading habits.

I'm feeling tired, and I know I'm doing too much, but it is hard to make myself slow down my pace because I'm having such a great time. Plus, in a weird way, it's a bit of a backlash. Every time I try to tell myself to take it easy, I remember all of the times when there was nothing else I could do but take it easy when I was in heart failure. I think I'm still trying to make up for lost time.
