Day Ninety-One
Essays by George Orwell Page: 1363 FINISHED *ahhh…*
Today seems like a good day to review my progress so far. We are one-quarter of the way through the year but sadly, I’m not one-quarter of the way through my reading. I thought I was going to end up marking this milestone with a day of NO reading. Today is Jared’s birthday (26th) and after a busy morning I thought I might end up being the one to head home with the boys which usually means no time to read. But he decided to let me have a few hours alone to get as caught up as possible and here I am with a mere 98 pages on the day. So far I’ve read 18,520 pages and finished 46 books. By this time I should have read 19,837 pages in approximately 50 books. Thus, I’m 4 books or 1,317 pages behind. Not too bad considering my current pace would have me reading 184 books this year…except that I set myself a 200 book goal so I shall regard that as a failure. My current plan is to arrange several days completely off with someone (likely Quinn) watching the boys while I hide out somewhere absolutely secret and read like a medieval monk.
We got our new flip video camera in the mail today and we’re so excited. Here is a long, boring-to-anyone-unrelated video of us playing with Alex. You can kind of hear Luc crying in the background…he didn’t want to relax and go to sleep.
