Downtime, lots of reading (finished two books, though not the Grant biography I&#8217;ve been &#8220;reading&#8221; for three years now; I&#8217;m up to his run for President). The weather looked like it was going to be rainy the whole time, so a lot of people bailed on the town, but then we had a glorious, sunny Memorial day, so the husband and I got a beautiful day with not as many other tourists in the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the books was Born to Run 2, the sequel to 2009&#8217;s Born to Run, about barefoot running and other crazy people. The sequel bills itself as a training guide. There were a lot of stories mixed in with the training bits, which makes it a little difficult to use, but what is in there is helpful (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrismcdougall.com\/2011\/11\/100-up-in-action\/\">100 ups<\/a>!). So when we got back I pulled out my running shoes and got started again, albeit very slowly and very short distances (I did a mile this morning of 2 on\/2 off). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work wasn&#8217;t too bad. I&#8217;m still catching up on emails, which will probably take me another week or so as I respond to more urgent things that keep popping up. Still learning the new GC&#8217;s style, but am actively working with the Deputy GC to manage upwards there (and, frankly, to help the Deputy look good for the new GC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my nieces asked about the new Diablo IV that&#8217;s out officially in 3 more days, but which is offering early play for preorders. She and I used to play Diablo III online, so I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s looking forward to the new one as well. I know I&#8217;m going to dive in eventually, but I&#8217;m also in the midst of loving Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch. I&#8217;ll probably switch the Xbox One in my office for the PS5 in the living room, since the niece is on a PS5, and that way I can let the husband use the new, enormous TV he bought just before we left town (so far it&#8217;s mostly been used for my gaming, and while Link looks great on 85&#8243;, it&#8217;s kind of a waste of the TV). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big surprise for the husband for the anniversary was that I got us a fancy washlet for the owners&#8217; suite bathroom. I think I may have created a monster, but frankly, it&#8217;s been worth it. So much better than just wiping. I fear we&#8217;re going to get spoiled, which is okay, but will make leaving the house that much less attractive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vacation was what we needed.
