7/6: checked out 7 books from the library

I always check out exactly six books, but today seven just seemed right. This is my routine:

Step 1: Find eight books to preview.

Step 2: Take the eight books to the chair on the left.

Step 3: Read the first chapter of each book.

Step 4: Make a pile of Books to Check Out and another pile of Books to Leave Behind.

Step 5: Make a final decision on the six books.

Step 6: Check out and try desperately to avoid the Library Bitch.

Step 7: Take the books and head home.

Step 8: Begin reading immediately.

Note: Steps 1-4 may have to be repeated in order to ensure that there are six books worth reading.

The Library Bitch wasn’t there, and we all know that makes for a great day. The seventh book is cause for celebration!

Q: Why was 6 afraid of 7?

A: Because 7 8 9!
