too hot to leave the house and no TV in my room so am reading more, much more. also! i started a new quilt, and had pocket read aloud my articles since i ran out of new podcast episodes. it's actually really great when i tend to prefer to read articles less than 8 minutes long (i dunno why such a specific number), but now i can get thru my really long articles!
