riverrun, Part Deux

Today – where we try to explore even more of the book while trying to accomplish other things. What could possibly go wrong?

Pips: So, we are both just getting started for the day. I stayed up until 3 as I went into hyperfocus around playing Super Mario 3 on the Switch. My goals for the day – see how far we can make it in Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, clean out and organize my bookshelves. I need to organize them again. They have lost their organization because I go take 15 books I want to read now off of the shelf, and then put half back, but not where they belong. Then, I want to clean out and organize my kitchen cabinets. I also want to make a sourdough starter and start some croissant dough. I need to run to the store. I also need to finish reading the other book that I am reading.

So, I have been doing some research. I learned that Finnegans Wake is a dream. So, I realized I wanted to get one of the companion texts. So, I went online and started looking at companion texts. I bought 5.

I am on the phone with Finn. He is shopping for groceries. He just said he is beginning to grow bored with his grocery store. I just learned that there is a bookstore in Dublin called Ulysses’s Rare Books. I must go there.

Finn just sent me a picture of some butter he is buying (did I mention we are both foodies?). I just went to my refrigerator and counted. I have 7 different kinds of butter right now.

UPDATE: Finn is now home. He is supposed to be cooking but could not find his speaker. He went looking for the speaker. He is now playing the guitar.

Meanwhile, I really need to get dressed, have breakfast, and start working on my projects but am here typing away. Will we even read a sentence today? Outlook not so good…
