You think that wouldn't you...but at the moment, they're all on the bed. Apparently they missed comfy furniture more than they missed me. 
Today was amazing! Since I retired at the end of September I've been doing all kinds of work around the house that needed to be done for a long time, but today I needed a break. Which led to the thought: Okay, so what do I do? I used to be a voracious reader but career, husband, kids, home, and finally optic neuritis brought on by MS put a stop to that about seven years ago. That's right, I haven't read a book in all that time. With the career and husband gone, the kids have their own lives, the optic neuritis reversed in one eye, and a home that can by-gosh wait - I picked up a book that I'd started 7 years ago and put down in sheer frustration.
I began at the beginning and soon rediscovered a whole world that I'd forgotten. The mastery of a wordsmith painting a gripping story with words combined in such a clever way that he can make you laugh, smile, or cringe in fear. The rest of the world just falls away. I know - it's such a simple thing, but to me it was wonderful.

That is wonderful!!
I'm happy for you Rave-sure sounds like you've earned your break. I love books & in past analog days my reading room became the garage where I smoked. Now I can read anywhere & not have to sit in the elements.
That's awesome Rave! I love reading, it would be so hard to not be able to read anymore. You deserve that time to sit and read and make up for all of the time you missed! The rest of the world can wait a bit 
I have a kindle, but all I have downloaded so far is free stuff...the classics...
