I won’t lie: I got a job, and everything else fell by the wayside, including and especially reading.

I had set a goal of 100 books, which seemed reasonable on January 1st, 2019. I was unemployed and had no real goals except writing 150,000 words and reading.

And then in June, I was hired.

Working full time has cut down on my free time by a huge amount, but god, has my life improved with structure and money.

Health stuff hasn’t been as good, seeing as I lost my insurance in October, postponing two rather important appointments and one incredibly important medication that I’m 100% going to run out of before it’s renewed.

I don’t remember much of the first half of the year, but the second half has been very full.
