I have been seriously interfered with … or at least, my reading was interfered with since May. My income took an unexpected dip starting in February. I had to go to work, and now I’m happy to say my financial situation has eased considerably. I’ll still be working, but won’t put so much time into it. I’ll be able to take time to read books again. Life is good.
