    I hope your kid has books today.

    My kid has books and we constantly read books so I am absolutely outread by the end of the day. To be fair, the hat trilogy by Jon Klassen and gymnastics for the tail Grigori Oster are a lot of fun to read and cut straight to the point, not like grown up books, so I find a lot of enjoyment in what we read in general. But whenever I try to pick up a book for adults I now automatically fall asleep. Best I can do is manga and graphic novels right now. Unfortunately my kid finds them and mistakes these for comics, I ended up having to read Persepolis to a four year old.

    This has also impacted my ability to go back to work. I can’t read a scientific paper without falling asleep anymore.
