I think I might be sick!

Stacey34 · 05-05-2009, 03:39 PM

Ok, I think I am coming down with something. There is really no other explanation that I can come up with!
My only symptom is that I haven't touched my 505 in about 3 days!
I mean I am one of those Sony Reader addicts! I read EVERYDAY without exception. What is wrong with me?! I know that its spring and I have been doing more stuff outside but I still always read in the evenings. I'm afraid my husband is going to get used to this and hate it when I start reading like before.
I am going to make a point of starting a new book this evening.
Thank you for your support during my period of illness!

Sounds serious. We may have to operate.

edbro · 05-05-2009, 03:45 PM

Been to Mexico lately?

ruth1304 · 05-05-2009, 03:46 PM

That is worrying. I'm glad to hear you're getting better. As long as it's only temporary!

Apparently I have a different illness - I can't put mine down, and have been told that I need to read less. Even use mine as a mouse mat when I'm posting on MR

Take three readings a day and it should clear up in a week

I have one already, but if you don't need one I promise to give yours a good home.

GraceKrispy · 05-06-2009, 02:29 AM

You are possessed. It's simple. You need an exorcist. And stay away from me.

Riocaz · 05-06-2009, 05:14 AM

Don't worry about it. It's happened to me 2/3 times since I got the iLiad I was all "read out". It lasted about a week. Then it passed.

(Says the person who started his 3rd book for the week this morning).

mickitaz · 05-07-2009, 12:04 PM

Tehe. I go through the same symptoms now and again. I will read for days and days.. then not pick up my reader for a while. Even when I was working 60 hours a week, I would still find time to pick up and read for about an hour before going to bed.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sometimes we need a break from that which we love the most.

ReD · 05-07-2009, 03:34 PM

That's exactly how I know I'm sick - not picking up your reader when you have a spare moment is the first symptom of illness!

RWood · 05-08-2009, 01:19 AM

Stacey, I understand. I too have suffered from periods of not picking up the Sony reader. At first I blamed 16 hour work days; but, that was a sham. Sure I worked those hours but I needed a break. I started to force myself to take breaks and read short stories. Work back into it slowly. Build up to a full book. Don't jump in with both feet, you might cause a relapse.

Stacey34 · 05-08-2009, 08:20 AM

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for the support during my brief period of illness!
I am feeling much better since I am reading a new book. I thought I was going to have to go see my doctor but as some of you may remember the last time I went to the doctor we talked about my reader for about 20 minutes before we got to the reason why I was there. LOL! So I wasn't sure that going to see him would help with my problem. Maybe talking about it though would have put me back on track sooner.
I guess a few days absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Thanks again!
Happy Reading!
