As is typical for my December Current Distractions, I've had a lot of holiday stuff to do, and also I'm now past the halfway mark of the 12hppofxmas. I'm planning to stay in tonight, do some reading, watch a movie or some tv, and then get started on a fresh new year tomorrow. Last year, January 1 was the last day of Christmas holiday, but this year I took some extra time, and I'm glad I did.
I picked up a couple of books from the library today, and got my final update for the year on how much I've saved using the library rather than purchasing books new, and that number is... $748.56!! I haven't tracked how much I've spent on book purchases over the course of the year, but I'd guess it's around $200, so yay!
Swimming
I met my goal of swimming 100km in 2018 by swimming 102,700m total over the course of the year. I've improved my speed and technique quite a bit over the course of the year, learned how to do flip turns, and am just generally really enjoying being in the water. I'll certainly be continuing to swim in the new year.
