Brenda— I am feeling tired now. Game ended after 10:30, am watching delayed local news to catch the weather before heading to bed. We’ve had a cold front move in and the wind has really risen the last couple hours— I can hear it gusting. (Shivers)

So, I'm reading it slowly and making other books a priority. See message #4.
