The humidity level is just now at 66%.  Is is normal to take 11 days to get close to stabilized?

    11 days is a little long. It depends on where you live. If you are in Florida, it is long. If you are up north in a winter wonderland, 66% is actually pretty good. It will probably drop for a little while after you put your sticks in. If you are in doubt, try the dollar bill test. If you're not sure what that is, put a bill over the edge and close the lid. When you try to pull it out, it should have quite a bit of resistance. This means you have a good seal. If it slides right out, you have a poor seal and should contact the company you purchased it from.
