of THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. BOOK NUMBER SEVEN. WHAT WILL I DO WHEN IT’S OVER?
sleep, for one thing.
it arrived in the mail on saturday, and i helped kevin with his whirlwind of packing for fencing coaches college in colorago springs, CO, at the olympic training center. much craziness, many things that he had to find, lots and lots of rushing around, including a trip to the store to buy snacks for his train trip…
while buying many things, we decided to buy another copy of Harry Potter #7 so that he could read one while he’s away and so could i.
he finally got out the door, only a hour later than he’d planned on leaving. i read about 10 pages then and there, but then had other things to do.
saturday night, though, i started in earnest. i kept reading and couldn’t stop until about one in the morning, and then i was lying in bed but couldn’t sleep so i got up at two and read for another hour.
sunday, a very sluggish day. by the time i went to bed, though, i was finally more awake, and started reading earlier. i was going to go to sleep AT MIDNIGHT, but i kept reading till one thirty. not as bad as saturday night.
the book is about 760 pages, and now i’m up to 580, i think. last night i somehow forced myself to stop at midnight, because today i have a very busy work day.
i rushed out the door this morning, set off my car alarm and had left the car keys inside and had to go in through the garage and it was all very frantic until i sat there and remembered i didn’t have to leave for a half hour. whew.
i’m trying to sit here quietly.
here’s a photo kevin sent from his phone, of the olympic training village. it looks very nice, as one would expect of an olympic training village.
here’s one in front of the fencing place.
he got there on sunday but didn’t have to do anything till yesterday afternoon, so in the morning he went to pike’s peak with his two roommates. he sent me a photo of the dorm room he’s sleeping in, and said it was nice, but it looked more like a prison to me.
i have a photo of kevin on top of pike’s peak, but for some reason it’s just not posting right, so i have to try to do that later. after work, after going to rehearsal, before i start in again on harry.
ok, hopefully i won’t set off any more alarms this morning. in addition to the general chaos, mollie is going berserk because the meter-reader man is in the neighborhood so she’s been barking nonstop for quite a while now.
