I make it a point to stop thinking about work when I get home. Work stays at work (for the most part) and the evenings are for any miscellaneous thing I can use to waste my time. Sometimes I miss having homework, but then I don’t. Who wants the stress? Not me.
Of course, since I have a few hours of the day all to myself, I’ve been debating what to do. I’m doing the Goodreads challenge and have set myself up for 25 books a year. I’m already 5 books behind and have 12 books to read by December 31. To my credit, the books I love to read tend to be 600 pages and up. I’ve already read close to 7000 pages this year, so my being behind isn’t too shabby. I do hate to lose, so I may be a bookworm for the rest of the year.
It doesn’t help that my shows are back on today. I’m really looking forward to Fringe and The Vampire Diaries (read it at 13, the show is such a guilty pleasure). And I’m sure I’ll pick up a few more by next month.
And on top of everything else, there is so much I want to do, and can’t figure when to do it. I do know that I treasure these distractions.
