Ah, just being dramatic is all. School is officially underway, though I believe Monday will feel more real for some reason. Probably because this school week started on a Wednesday, and so much was going on here Monday & Tuesday. I am trying to get back into my own groove now that I’m back to having six hours to myself to work, and complete tasks around the house once more. I really need to tackle the kids toys in the living room, but that means getting the storage unit done, which means wood working and not doing paid work, of which I have a bunch to do in the coming weeks. There has to be a happy medium in between. Some compromise I can find between waiting to get hours of sanding, staining, gluing and cutting done, or tossing the whole lot in a garbage bag. No easy fixes to be found here.
I’m still surprised by which post titles seem to get likes without being shown as read. Perhaps in another life I should have gotten into creating headlines for tabloids and such. I don’t imagine that act being very lucrative though. Click bait style grab’em by the eyeballs seems to be the flair of the day. I want to read articles with titles like; “A Reasoned and Nuanced Admission of Hatred For Hello Kitty”, or “A Timely Exploration of (Ex/In) cel Believing Everything is a Date”, to name just a few. Perhaps those articles have been written but I don’t cast a wide enough net when looking for reading materials.
Speaking of which, reading that is, I’m one book back on my one book per month goal for 2022. I’m still reading the eight book for August, even though we are well into September. The Grapes of Wrath was a heavy choice. I’ll stick with it, mind you, but I’m not flying through it like a sci-fi novel, or something less colloquial. I don’t think I’ll get too upset if I only hit 11 of 12 books this year. Nothing to beat myself up over. Just you wait until I try Moby Dick, The old man and the sea, or War and Peace. May not get through too many beyond those in a calendar year. I’ve heard they can be challenging reads. I won’t know until I give them a go. But before I go that route, I have a Carl Sagan book to read that I am excited for. The Demon Haunted World, oooh…. I’ve heard good things. I have seen that book quoted a number of times over the last few years. Time to read it first hand, well, after GoW anyway.
Maybe I’ll go sand for a bit as I await feedback, edits, change requests or all new projects. No point sitting around typing, when I could get something checked off my list. Another time then. Ciao Bella!
