\"fitandflatter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oof. I’ve been struck down by the bug that’s going around, and I was utterly useless yesterday. As I floundered about, I realized that the pile of books by my bed is out of control. There are about 30 assorted books, of which I’m currently reading 10 at once. I don’t normally do that, but I feel like my focus has been scattered, so I keep finding myself picking up one book and reading a couple of pages, then reaching for another book for a couple pages. It’s a bit of a schizophrenic way to read, but then I remembered that this was exactly the way I\u00a0powered through my textbooks\u00a0when studying for college exams. I don’t know if I’m absorbing more material this way or not, but\u00a0the variety is sort of refreshing.<\/p>\n

Beneath the 10 books in rotation, I found the book<\/a> above. I hunted it down and ordered a used copy from Amazon\u00a0a long time ago when I read Sarai<\/a>‘s lovely review<\/a> of it. The cover speaks of a well-loved and oft-thumbed through copy. Published in 1969, it’s full of charming illustrations and what appears to be a gentle style of writing, and although it hasn’t made it into my rotation yet, its turn is coming soon.<\/p>\n

I’ve\u00a0mentioned\u00a0this before<\/a>, but I’m determined to become well-versed in fit. Yes, let’s\u00a0call this Project\u00a0Survival of the Fittest. I’m aiming to start this…evolution, I suppose, at\u00a0the beginning of 2016 since there’s no way no how that I’ll finish the book before then at my current glacial speed.<\/p>\n

But first, I have to survive this pesky quasi-flu.\u00a0Off to\u00a0stock up on cough drops!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
