15: Better the Second Time!

I am pleased with my progress through Chapter 15 the second time. I really do not know where my head was the during the first reading but it is a lot clearer this time around. Again, I should have realized this as this was how I was able to retain things in college for exams. Back then it actually took me usually 3 reads to have it locked. Now that I am less sharp due to age, it would probably take me 4 reads. But this is a little different. There are no exams to pass and really, a good understanding of the material is all I need as I can always consult the text or other sources, if needed.

In any event, I am pleased with my progress today. I started on page 319 and am ending the night on page 343. I understand the chapter a lot better. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that I am not tired. Today I napped and afterwards had a cup of joe. Then I went for hike and showered after. Then I sat on my porch in complete silence while I worked through the chapter. I did not feel an ounce of tiredness so I believe that had a lot to do with my power to understand things better.  Now if I can only get to sleep early enough or have a power nap during the day, I will be better off.

Tomorrow is going to be a challenge to get a lot done but I will try. There is some consulting work that needs to be done as well as many other plans. Whatever the case, if I get 10-15 pages in tomorrow, that would be nice.
