Hitting the Books
Did you think I was just watching movies? I’ve been reading, too. It takes a lot more effort than it used to, and I’m having to give up a lot more things to do it (showers, housecleaning, email replies, phone calls) but I am reading. Further, I’m appreciating the reading, because I have to work so hard to do it. I think it’s tougher than watching a movie; it requires more mental energy, and more physical energy, too. Maybe you don’t think holding a book and turning pages is tough, but try doing it on little sleep and while nursing a baby–no small feat.
