The delivery came yesterday, and I am 350 pages into it. I'm reading it slowly. It's taking a while because I needed to refresh my recollection of where everything had left off at the end of Half-Blood Prince.
Today is strictly a "centering" day. Being an introvert, I tend to only be able to function well after I've had days to "organize" my thoughts. Sometimes when I'm knitting or making jewelry, I'll map out in my mind all of the tasks that I both need and want to to that day, the next week, and in my lifetime. Conan wonders why I knit--it's because I'm a kinetic thinker. I get to do something quietly with my hands while I think. I've knit a few rows of Rusted Root on the back patio between my reading. I'm altering it by changing the lace panel to the "Dropping Elm Leaves" pattern in the first Barbara Walker treasury. The pattern is giving me ideas on what to do with the mmmmalabrigo I bought about 4 months ago--I'm thinking raglan pullover with an asymmetrical lace pattern or two and with flared sleeves. Will need to sketch it out and do a rough pattern to see if it will work.
Happy Deathly Hollows reading day to all!
