Lydia and the terrible very bad no good literature-less day

I'm 23 books ahead on my pacing for 100 book goal for 2016. So, I took a day off. I have a backlog of grading and some other things to focus on. Reading takes a lot of time, let's work on the back log, it'll be a good productive day.  Here's how it went:

3:30 AM woke up ahead of alarm, reached for book on side table. There was no book. Oh yeah, I'm taking a break. Let's go back to sleep.

3:50 AM ahhhhhhhh! can't sleep. There is a bug on the window. Reach for book to distract....there is no book. *sad face*

4:00 AM Alarm goes off. Hit snooze. Turn on T.V. In the absence of lit I'm going to watch anime, no judging!

4:20 AM eat breakfast, start setting up family lunches.

6:00 AM load up car. Stare forlornly at stack of books left behind on coffee table.

6:05 AM after dropping off Thomas, we are back in the car to head into work. I reach for the book light, but then I remember, oh yeah. . . no book.

6:25 AM I buy a very large cup of starbucks coffee to fill the book shaped void in my soul

7:00 AM the coffee didn't work, void unfilled. I distract myself with student concerns i.e. my 5 inch stack of grading

7:50 AM surely there must be something to read, I'm an English teacher for gods sake

8:00 AM stay strong Lydia, essays! I must grade essays!

8:45 AM ohmygodwhycan'tanyonewriteanoutline where's my book, I need a book! God give me anything, I'll even read Milton.

8:50 AM clean room, turns out throwing a tantrum is ill advised as an adult. *sad face*

9:05-12:25 AM teach student to write outlines. . . damnit.

12:30-1:05 lunch. . . without a book. meh.

1:10 Guitar class. You know there aren't too many books that feature guitars in the grand scheme of things. Maybe there should be more. I bet there's a market there.

3:00 end of class. Tutor students. . . on outlining. Surely there must be a book here somewhere.

4:00 PM evening commute. . . without a book. What a lame English teacher I am.

6:00 PM dinner. Organize books for tomorrow.

6:20 PM reorganize books. I wonder how many I can read in a day. I have sub days left.

6:30 PM write blog post about missing books.

I have a serious problem.

Lesson learned. . . always have a book. . . or three.
