among other slumps, I've been in one regarding reading for months now and it hurts. I love reading so much; it keeps me sane.
so I'm now making a concerted effort to read at least one chapter a day. first up: Beatrice Winifred Iker's 'I'll Make a Spectacle of You' and it's good so far.

downside for tomorrow? I have to be around my partner's racist-as-fuck Mexican grandmother who laments the demise of his marriage to a white woman despite all the fuckshit she continues to do everytime I'm near.
it's also the first holiday w/o his mom.
