How I did it
How to read 65 books from November 2008 to November 2009
It took me
9 months
It made me

How I did it: I kept a running list of the books I read each month.  I would total them up every couple of months to keep on track.  I also made time for reading.  I thought I never had a lot of time until I realized how much of it was spent on Facebook and watching movies and even driving.  I got audio books from my library and listened to them on my commutes.  If your commute is long, this is a good option.  Read how I did it…

How to write a (continually updateable) list of books to read, and read them
It took me
1 week
It made me
organized

How I did it: I have a new blog, called Lost in Books, where I am keeping track of books I read and reading challenges I am hosting and involved in.  I also have Word documents on my computer to keep track of which books I want to read next.  Read how I did it…

How to make a list of 43 things I know very little about, & then learn at least 3 things about each of them
It took me
1 month
It made me

How I did it: I used Wikipedia (articles with sources) and encyclopedias mostly.  I got ideas from various places- historical events I was left out knowing about, places I had never visited, people I never heard of. Read how I did it…

Monday & Tuesday, May 9 and 10

1. Went to the doctor to see if my surgical site had gotten infected. GOOD news, it hadn’t. BAD news, it still isn’t healing as quickly as they had hoped or anticipated so I am on bed rest until further notice. AKA I’m going out of my mind.

2. On the bright side, I have accomplished a lot of reading.

3. And I have cleared off a good portion of the DVR.

4. I have also spent some time talking with someone I care about.

5. Made an appointment for my cat to go into the vet today. My mom had to take her, though. She has to go back Friday because they aren’t sure what is wrong with her yet so they are going to run more tests.

Thursday, May 6

1. Spent time with a friend visiting from Florida.
2. Went to the grocery store.
3. Called ISP to see if they can fix internet. Apparently something is wrong with the modem. Great.
4. Went to my first meeting with FibroMyWay, the NPO fibromyalgia support group in my city. It went well and I am excited to do more with them. It wasn’t a pity party, which I appreciated. I hate pity parties.
5. Did some much needed organizing of my life.
