Audiobooks
A few folks have asked me recently where I get my audio books. I have three sources, two free, one not.
NetLibrary is one freebie source. Overdrive is the other.
These are both available through the Public Library of Charlotte-Mecklenburg County. All you need is a library card and your PIN (most likely the last four digits of your phone number).
For my friends and family back home Catawba County is a member of North Carolina Digital Library which also uses Overdrive. Same requirements; you need a library card and PIN...I have no idea what your PIN will be though, you will need to check with the library.
Audible is the not free source and I use that for books that I can't find at all or can't find in the unabridged format from the freebie sources.
Whatever I currently have loaded on my MP3 player is listed in the sidebar. Rules for me are no listening unless I am walking or cleaning house or gardening or stuck on an airplane (not so often nowadays).
On a personal vent kind of note (so you may want to stop reading now): Tomorrow may be my last blood test. If I fail it I am out of the Onward Study. This sucks! The Cladribine is doing exactly what it is supposed to...suppressing my lymphocyte count but it's doing it a little too well.
The 'non-toxic' lower limit is 1. They will allow me to continue in the trial if I am a 0.8 by tomorrow. I guess that 'non-toxic' limit isn't too hard and fast huh? As of two weeks ago I was still just a 0.5. Last round I came up 0.1 each week for a total gain in between tests of 0.2. This round seems the same since test before last I was 0.3.
My neighbor, M (a neurological nurse...rather handy to have around, don't you think) found information about what causes HIGH lymphocyte count so I did what I could to send things into overdrive. If I get kicked out then it was what God knew was best.
But I have to wait 2-3 days to know the results!! ...dad-gum-it I am not at all good at giving up control to Him!

Holding good thoughts for your count. Are you familiar with librivox.org? That's where I get my free audio books.
