Reading Woes

Sadly, I have been doing poorly on my 100+ Challenge.  Lately, I have barely had time to read during the day and fall asleep reading at night.

This falling asleep reading is baffling to me.  I never used to do that.  I could stay up till the wee hours reading without falling asleep...until recently.  I am hoping this is a sign that I am tiring myself out with activity and not that I am getting too old.

I have a huge stack of library books on my table waiting to be read and a few books that I own that are gathering dust.  I had planned to read New York: The Novel by Edward Rutherford before I went to visit the sister in October.  That is not going to happen. I'll have to read it for the next time I visit.

Airplane travel provides ample opportunity to read; and as I am going to visit the sister the first week and the brother the last week of October I will have a couple of air travel days to crack a book open.

And now I am going to go try to finish my current read without falling asleep...

I'm baa-ack...

I realize that my posts have been quite sporadic this summer. I can honestly say that I have had several posts written in my head but I simply never had the time to put them to blog.

I promised the sister that I would post more--I even committed myself to at least one post a week.  So... here is this week's...

Kidding...just kidding.

Today was a very busy day for me.  I woke up at 8 am. Blech.  This is the earliest I have gotten up in a long while.  But I did it for a good cause.  Today was cleaning day in our new church building!

It wasn't all that long ago that our church family was doing this. Tomorrow is the last Sunday service in our current building.  Monday is a the first official meeting in the new building--a special Women's Ministries meeting. And then next Sunday is the first Worship Service.

It is exciting and a little overwhelming.

Also today: new windows!  I have all new windows in my house...they are beautiful too!  I will post some photos soon.

Thankfully, I don't have to pay for the windows (I rent) because yesterday I spent a whole lot of money.  I bought a brand new mattress and box spring.  I have been saving for this purchase for a long time but I still cringe a bit when I spend so much money.

Until next week...
