Vacation Hangover

I have a BAD case of vacation hangover. I feel both panicked and super behind on all the things I need to do and completely disinterested in doing any of them.  I just want to swim in the lake!  

This weekend was so lovely. And, despite the hard anniversary that I posted about, we managed to have an amazing time. It was hot enough that we spent a lot of hours in the lake (or on it, on the pontoon boat.) And I forget how much I enjoy swimming until I'm swimming. I really should make more use of the lakes and public swimming places around here.

Crooked Lake is very much a resort lake, so it wasn't exactly a retreat into the deep woods, but our friends are so generous with their space and time and it was incredibly relaxing and well-needed. It was still surprisingly quiet up there. We were awoken every morning by the song on the loons. Shawn even managed to be greeted by a river otter on one of her morning shore strolls!

We discovered a lesbian-run coffee shop, which I highly recommend if you're ever in the area. Crosshatch Coffee. Their Cuban latte is TO DIE FOR, but the place also has an amazing atmosphere in general. But, Siren is such a tourist town that the coffee shop is only open Fri-Sun, 6 am - 3 pm. 

Now, I'm back to writing the novel, prepping for my asynchronous class, and... life. I'm missing Gerriann's dishwasher and vacation standard time where life's little chores are for later.... 

SIGH.

How about y'all. Anything fun happen this weekend?
