Sinus Infection and Reading
Sinus Infection
I've not felt 100% for a little while now, and when my neck started hurting as well, Allison and I decided that I needed to go to the doctor. Turns out that I have a sinus infection. I've not had a sinus infection in living memory (though my mother declares that I had them often when I was a little child, who knew?).
So I was prescribed some pills to make it go away, but there was no pharmacy open yesterday... I get to fill the prescription today, then make the infection go away. Not fun stuff, but it should all be wrapped up soon.
Reading Progress
I read 90 pages yesterday. What with watching the football game and the not feeling well, I didn't get to read quite as much as I'd have liked. Still, I'm only 29 pages away from finishing Brave New World, and it's been a really great book! Not an altogether happy book, but apocalyptic books like this rarely are.
My 90 pages read puts me at 2314 pages read, 4085 pages yet to read, and an average of 56.74 pages to read for the duration of the year. Unless I continue reading more than the quota (probable).
