I didn't sleep well last night, and spent most of the day drained and achy. Multiple naps eventually eased things, but the day wound up thoroughly unproductive. (I did get in a couple of rounds of Skyrim, completing the quest "The Only Cure" and clearing out Hag's End.) Just bleah. I hope I manage to recharge tonight; tomorrow's a long day.
Lately, when I let the dogs out for their backyard romp, Buster grabs his current toy (lately, a squeaky-bone) before going out. He drops the toy almost immediately, usually just outside the porch door, and goes off to his doggish business. When I reopen the door to let Gracie back in, he charges back, picks up the toy, and comes in. No doubt this makes sense to the canine brain.
On the Kindle, I'm reading Keynes' The Economic Consequences of the Peace ("The Peace" being the Versailles Treaty, which had just been signed). He was very upset with everyone involved, criticizing Clemenceau for pursuing a sow-the-ground-with-salt policy, Lloyd George for venality, and Wilson for just being ineffective. His description of the demerits of the treaty is pretty convincing; I'd known about the problem with reparations, but not the extent and the sheer vindictiveness of the demands. Clemenceau hoped to cripple Germany so badly that she'd never again be able to threaten France; instead he virtually guaranteed that she would, and with an enormous grudge fueling it.
Still tired. I'll probably hit the sack early tonight.
