Something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try

Haha, I know, but adjusting the goal feels like cheating. Also, to be honest, I thought I had hit my goal way more often in previous years than I actually had, so it seemed more achievable. I'd think, "Man, if I just hadn't decided to read [800-page slog] that tied me up for a month, I'd have hit it this year!" But apparently I have an 800-page slog EVERY YEAR. LOL
