Three things for Sunday

[nwhiker]

1. Slept in this morning. Which is great, I needed it, we got up early yesterday to go hiking and stayed up late playing Nethack. But that brings up the love-hate relationship I have with my scale and late mornings: typically she rewards me with a lower weight, nice. But I pay for it the next morning. I've named my scale Penelope, hence the she.

2. Went hiking yesterday, so an area not far from here, still in King County, that I'd never been to before. Hike was pretty, along the Green River, then up a hill and back down to a river, in a state park. It is just so nice to be back out on trail and to hear rivers etc. There are a few hikes I can't wait to do, my knee should be able to get me there, but we do have to wait until the snow has melted, LOL. The area we were in is called Ravensdale. I told dh I wanted to live there, just to get that address.

3. Finished the second book of a series today (John's Gwynne's _Hunger of the Gods_). It ends with a gut wrenching scene that left me shocked and teary. Book 3 is not out yet. The author lost his daughter a bit over a year ago, :( :( :( and there is some speculation that book 3 might not happen, I hope that isn't the case... but since, like many, I've been waiting years for Pat Rothfuss to ever finish The Kingkiller Chronicles (and I don't think he will), I'm not holding my breath on ever seeing book 3.
