Same spot at the kitchen table after the kids are finally down, lamp pulled in close, the practice book propped against the sugar jar because I still haven’t found a proper bookstand.
2 months out from the exam now, and the cover’s gone soft at the corners from how many times I’ve flipped back to the same section.
My husband keeps telling me to just turn on the overhead light instead, but something about that small circle from the lamp is the only thing that keeps me from reaching for my phone.
Got through one chapter tonight, 40 minutes before my eyes gave out, small but it’s something.
