Falling double-digits short of my goal is disappointing. Yikes! I have no excuse. I could have finished a good book instead of doing some of the other lazy activities I chose. I also had very little enthusiasm to write about my reading experiences. Overall, I was uninspired, unmotivated, and distracted.
