Reading Ulysses with my Mom

THIRTEEN: MOM'S RESOLVE MOMENTARILY WEAKENS

SEPTEMBER 19

Felt "spent" when I finished episode 6. Considered giving up - briefly! We have too much invested in this project and I do love your commentaries! Hate giving up on a book, often forcing myself to read something I am not really enjoying.

Took a bit of a break but have gotten back to it. Have read episode 7. Comments coming soon.

All is well! Painting Christmas trees. Will explain later!! Going for a hair cut today.

Off to [place we used to live] for an overnight. A [volunteer] event Wednesday evening and lunch with friends on Thursday. Not taking Ulysses!

Mom

SEPTEMBER 20

I think it’s best that you don’t take Ulysses on the ferry—you might chuck it overboard in frustration!

I’m going to try to read ahead a bit so my comments can come in a little faster & help keep you on track for finishing.

Did you want to send comments for Episode 7—the one in the newspaper office? You treated me to two emails on the Hades/ cemetery episode.

Have fun [where you're going]!
