I finished a book today. I made myself do it, too, because I haven't been reading enough print lately. It was a paperback, but the point was that I was reading. I was taking specific time for myself instead of getting caught up in a busy world. I wasn't mindlessly online or doing data backups, which I do still have to finish ( Read more... )
