Mid Year Review (a little late)
I think it is about time that I revisit my new year's resolution to see how things are going.
My first New Year's Resolution was to read 30 minutes a day. The ideas was that this would help me get more sleep. I am finding this hard to monitor. I don't know how I am doing other than to say that I am not getting any more sleep. For next year, I need to have a better way to record. Should I scrap the reading and start averaging 7.5 hours of sleep a night? Maybe.
My next Resolution was to read five books on Random House Top 100 novels that my mother and I selected. I am happy to report progress. I have read Under the Net by Iris Murdock (loved it!), Scoop by Evelyn Waugh (again, fantastic), and The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad (exceedingly difficult). I have about four month the finish our final two selections; Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow, and Appointment in Samarra by John O'Hara. I don't think this is going to be a problem.
My finger nails have never been shorter which means that my desire to keep my fingers out of my mouth is failing. Let's go Cauthorn!
I am most proud of my final resolution; to average 10,000 steps a day. As of yesterday (September 2nd) I have taken 163,460 over my average. This gives me a huge cushion for the last four months of the year. I got this no problem.
