2/2: letting myself

...read Books 5, 6, and 7 of the Odyssey as I prepped for class.  I could have taught the class without re-reading, since I've read and taught those books so many times now.  Because I especially love them, however, I wanted to give myself the treat of reading them and having new thoughts about them.  It means having 2 hours less to do some other tasks, but I think it was worth it.

And also letting myself read the first issue of the Telemachus comic in the morning.  Not at all necessary for work, but related, and also worth it.
