Gosh yes week 45 already @thechubbyunicorn @IrishRose12 as flylady so wisely says, you are never behind, just jump in where you are. if you did want to read though and a challenge still manageable what about reading 25 poems? 
For me, still chugging along. Watched The War Game for this week's b&w film - very disturbing. Another run today with a colleague round about the hospital, another recipe from the big pasta book which had been sitting on my shelf not looked at since it was bought covid days, 2 more evensongs from Radio 3 (beautiful) and another donation to the food bank. Which takes me to 443 / 500. A friend is over from Singapore and I will be attending her special lecture. Have almost finished The Three Body Problem (Chinese book) but won't count that till it's finished.

Sounds like you totally need to be focusing on you @IrishRose12 and cutting back on the non essentials to get back to full strength 💕

Yep, that's what I've started to do thankfully.  I've given up one of my 3 jobs, and had no regret about the decision.  After doing ot for almost 15 years, when I told them that I had to give it up for my health, I didn't even get as much as a Thank you for all those years (and money spent) on it too.
So I left it at that, walked away and haven't looked back.  I feel so much better for it, not as stressed and enjoying some extra free time to myself.  I'm also starting to sleep a bit better too, so, so here's hoping.
I've a doctor's appointment this week to review blood results, blood pressure readings and hopefully, no more appoints and "talks" for a while after this.
