Woohoo ! A new bingo board . Let me try me luck .

1) Readathon is going as well as expected. I have not finished 12 hours consecutively.
2) I have eaten real food and need to up my water consumption.
3) I am working on the bingo board and have about 3-4 items completed ( maybe more I need to check)
4) No books have been completed but significant progress made.
5) I believe I am on track to finish! I will read and then get some sleep at some point in the next 12 hours.

1) I've had a lot of interruptions this Readathon.
So I'm a bit behind on the number of pages I had
originally planned .
But for the next 12 hours I have nothing to do except read .
2) I had some Pizzeria pizza for lunch with a bottle
of Essentia bottled water .🥂 Cheers !
3) Yes I am doing a Bingo board .
4) Finished NO books . Finished one magazine.
Still have a few more hours of fun before I get too sleepy to read .
