Good news is, if I can find a book series that I really enjoy, and I can find enough free time, I can read about 1,200 to 1,400 pages in a month. That’s pretty good considering I am not a fast reader, like, at all. The bad news is, now that I wear my reading glasses for work, and for reading so much these last two months my vision is sort of soft around the edges when I don’t have them on, and not just for text now either. Everything goes soft edged around me. At least up close. I’m not concerned about things far away being soft edged, as that’s always been the case. This is a new development, and one 8 was concerned about once I needed reading glasses, and I know how my body loves to break down faster once I find a suitable work around for a health related problem. So yeah, fun-fun.
On a positive note I have book four coming later on today, and I hope to start it in another day or two. The later books are much larger, so I don’t think I’ll keep up this pace at all. March Break was slower (ever so slightly) so I could ignore stuff to just read any chance I got. I also stayed up late to read because an early wake up time wasn’t necessary. That is no longer the case. Life has started up for reals! So no more ignoring things for the sake of reading. Cleaning, dishes, laundry, groceries, and extracurriculars all are on deck, and are in play once again.
The youngest was in tears yet again regarding the return to school, but after this week, they have two short weeks due to the Easter Holiday four day long weekend. So there is that to look forward to. We also did not manage to get out to see Project Hail Mary as a nice date night event, so that sort of sucks. Our alone time was usurped by the children once again. Kids! Gotta love ’em.
I did manage to assemble my Ork Boyz models from Games Workshop, so when I’m sick of reading I can prime those, and think about painting them one by one. I’m game for doing twelve or fewer. The 40 odd Space Wolves was a bit of a chore towards the end. Glad I did them, but it was a slog. They do however look much better than the original paint job, so that’s a pretty big plus right there. Not great, but not awful either.
It’s Monday once again, and we are nearing the end of March. The official first day of Spring has come, and gone without much fanfare. So with any luck we might catch a stray sunny warm day here or there in April if we’re lucky. I could do with some blue skies and sunshine right about now.
Will need to weed & feed the lawn, and toss some grass seed around before too much longer. It’ll be grass cutting time before you know it! Leaves, and flowers, and blooms of all sorts will begin to appear. Wonderful time of year.
