I've been mostly getting plenty of sleep at night, but nearly every time I sit down on the couch to read during the day, I fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>So I've spent most of the week reading (or skimming) Hugo nominees, napping, and poking around on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>I've managed to do a few other things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Went up to San Francisco to see an out-of-town friend who's visiting.<\/li>\n  <li>Watched some movies. (<cite>Dr. Zhivago<\/cite>, <cite>Ex Machina<\/cite>, <cite>Ghostbusters<\/cite> (2016), <cite>Jane Eyre<\/cite> (2011), <cite>Zootopia<\/cite>)<\/li>\n  <li>Watched several episodes of <cite>The Wire<\/cite>. (Am now in season 4.)<\/li>\n  <li>Played the July session of Pandemic: Legacy. (We lost the first game, but won the second.)<\/li>\n  <li>Finished skimming a book from my unread-books shelf, started another.<\/li>\n  <li>Did a little bit of work on Mary Anne's journal.<\/li>\n  <li>Sent a note to an author's estate requesting permission to reprint a story.<\/li>\n  <li>Sent a work-related email.<\/li>\n  <li>Assembled some Lego minifigs that I'd ordered.<\/li>\n  <li>Played some iOS games with other folks, mostly Letterpress, Capitals, Lost Cities, and Yaniv.<\/li>\n  <li>Posted the usual old family photos for Throwback Thursday.<\/li>\n  <li>Washed a load of laundry and a load of dishes.<\/li>\n  <li>Made a phone call about a recurrence of a tax-related issue I thought was settled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But for the past few days, it's been mostly Facebook, Hugos, and napping. All of which are worthwhile pursuits, but none of which are furthering most of my planned projects.<\/p>\n<p>But I'm mostly done with Hugo stuff now, and I'm hoping to pull back from Facebook a bit. Today, maybe some project work. Tonight I'm having dinner with friends; tomorrow I'm hanging out with Kam; Sunday I'm off to Santa Fe for a couple of days to see Mary Anne. And somewhere in there, I hope to spend some time planning my travel schedule for the rest of my leave.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An update on how my leave has been going: It&#8217;s been a weird week.
