Day three of vacation: very satisfactory. :)
I got up at 9:30am instead of 11:30am, made myself a nice breakfast (scrambled eggs, English muffins, a clementine, tea), and then spent the day mostly reading (in the cabin and down on the dock), working desultorily on a puzzle, and doing some dinner prep and cleanup.
I also took a two-hour afternoon nap, which was lovely. I intend to pay down a significant portion of my chronic sleep debt by the time I leave the island.
Tomorrow should be cooler, and Mom and I plan to go on a hike -- possibly all the way around Windigo, possibly in the morning. Other than that, my schedule is wide open.
Hmm.
In reading news, yesterday I finished Harrow the Ninth, which is indeed a head trip. But in a good way! My one quibble is that the narrative voice which is eventually revealed to be ( spoilers ) doesn't have quite the right word choices before the reveal, though there are some hints. Anyway, I am now desperately curious for the third book.
I have started A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine (who I was interested to learn is married to Vivian Shaw (who I somewhat "internet knew" from Homestuck fandom) -- I am always a bit surprised to be within six degrees of contact, however loose, to people whose books I read), and while I haven't gotten far enough to have much of an opinion, I can definitely say I'm not bored. :)
In nonfiction realms, I am working through Medieval Maritime Warfare by Charles D. Stanton, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error by Kathryn Schulz, In the Interim: Strategies for Interim Ministers and Congregations (2nd edition), and An Imperial Possession: Britain in the Roman Empire by David Mattingly. I tend to have several books on the go at any time, and switch between them based on my mood for any given day or hour.
In writing news, I opened the file for "Guardian" chapter 18 and skimmed through the parts I'd previously written, but did not get any farther than that.
I am also slowly continuing to crosspost my Three Sentence Ficathon fills to AO3, which feels nice and productive. *wry*
And now I think I may go to bed, so as to continue paying down my sleep debt and be in good shape for a hike tomorrow. :)
