I love to read. Give me a book and I’ll devour it in a day—hours if its really good. Another thing I’ll do if a book is really good—stop reading it to write.

Her spirits are good, mainly because the hospital is like staying in a four-star hotel. So I brought my laptop, (of course) and while she naps I’ve been getting some writing done.
