...I'm still going to have to go to work, because you can't call in on your first day back from vacation.

I know I said I was going to post a few words on the poor use of space in the cruise ship. However, I'm dizzy, my skin hurts and I can barely keep my eyes open. Reading is a challenge, let alone organizing thoughts, and I'm not quite sure what my fingers are typing. I've done very little today besides read the backlog on LJ and DW (I looked at a few of my favorite people on Facebook, but I'm not going to waste my time with the whole mess.), cook breakfast and dinner, and put away clean clothes. Skipped lunch because I was sleeping.

Eor's reading in bed, though he intends to stay awake until 8pm. I think I'll go join him.

Books read on vacation:

"Wings" - Terry Pratchett. Last in the series with "Truckers" and "Diggers;" a kid's book, good fun. :)

"Demontage" - a Dr. Who story, I don't recall the author. Might have been Terrance Dicks? A very strange (of course, it's Dr. Who) story of people and creatures going into and out of paintings.

"Children of the Company" - Kage Baker. This was actually a set of short stories, and "Son, Observe The Time" is in it yet again. However, in the new setting there's more to get from the story, as it's in context with a bunch of other stories where a certain characters evil machinations are part of the background. And it's such an enthralling story, for me, that every time I stumble across it I can't avoid getting sucked in. Also, "The Applesauce Monster" and the one where a certain characters is trapped in a submarine were both it it, both stories which I'd recalled as quite powerful and had wanted to read again. They did not disappoint. I wonder if she changed many details when she shoved them all into the bigger picture.

I think those will be the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth books of the year, but I'd have to go look that up and I just can't right now.

Hm, Eor suggests hot chocolate. Yeah, that sounds good. :)
