Um. Guess I'm seriously back on the pony, huh? We're gonna need a bigger boat and a lot more coffee...

various and sundry are slightly lagged from 3 time zones in 3 days....

I got home last night around 9pm. The fact that I didn't unpack/start laundry until now isn't a moral failing, right?
(and if it is, it is hardly my worst...)

The plan HAD been to dive back into work 100%. It seems to be more 70% work and 30% napping on the sofa with cats. A slow start to avoid immediate post-vacation burnout, right? Also, it's ugly-humid out, and that always sucks the energy right out of my bones.

For those who missed it in the previous post, the slowly-being-identified photo record of the trip.


Books read on vacation:

the first chunk of DEATH AND THE MADWOMAN by our own Kari Sperring la_marquise_de_
MY DEAR JENNY by our own Madeleine Robins madrobins
"Bubba Ho-Tep" by Joe Lansdale
THE ALCHEMIST OF SOULS by Anne Lyle
SERVANT OF THE UNDERWORLD by Aliette de Bodard (still reading)

Video watched on vacation:

the two eps of SHERLOCK I missed while away (UK versions)
THE WOMAN IN BLACK


Considering we were Up And Moving pretty much all the time, I call that a decent haul.
