So.
I have wanted to read more. I used to read books all the time, and the last couple years, it has been hard and I have found a lack of time and distractions a'plenty. I hate to say it--but the internet and smart phone are often too easy for me and occupy my time when I could be reading a good book...(could be why I am resistant to electronic books--prefer the actual physical one). I also get overwhelmed with domestic and work duties...and by the time I have time to relax--I find I want to veg in front of the television (and there have been a lot of good shows for the science fiction geek lately...)
So, looking for a distraction after the murders in a LGBTQ night club...I found myself drifting to re-reading Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. I am voraciously reading it, staying up late at night--because that seems to be the only time I can find to read. A little less sleep--but so satisfying to be reading and thinking.
I have been trying to find more times to read--with some mixed success. Maybe this weekend...
Michael is going to volunteer for the Jimmy Fund. Not only is it a good cause, but will give him some useful real world experience that he will need to eventually be able to get out there in the workforce. I am a bit nervous for tomorrow--it will be his first four hour shift.
Willow has a birthday party on Saturday to go to...and this weekend is our town's annual Flag Day Fireworks and Carnival...
And then there is Father's Day!
And now for something completely different--Goats!
(We went to a goat farm last Saturday--Michael was very happy!) (That is a story in itself--I had to go to the Dentist last week for an unscheduled filling--and we got to talking--and his wife own's a goat farm!--so there ya go!)
