Eagerly awaiting a light summer storm

I have read 10 books in the past two weeks, and one a day for the last five days. The benefits of being on semi-vacation! (I am going to the office this week too but fewer hours than normal. Although today that just meant not doing any overtime.) Also, eight of the last 12 books I read feature necromancy of some kind, apparently I'm in a mood. Next, maybe some nonfiction books I picked up from the library (rare for me, I don't read a lot of nonfiction); or maybe something else entirely, idk.
I've read 24 books so far this year and didn't post about any of them, I should probably start doing that. At least about some of them. Maybe only 2-3 lines each, so I actually do it.

Several weeks ago my left big toe started hurting for some mysterious reason, and after the doctor ruled out some things I now got orthopedic shoe inserts. Especially annoying in summer. He said it'll take about 2 weeks to get used to them, which thankfully is not too far away because it felt very strange today. I should also be able to use them in my running shoes so in theory I can go running again soon, except it's so hot and humid most of the time that I'm not in the mood anyway. I went swimming once last week but mostly I'm too lazy. This weekend I did some of DD's Qigong exercises with her, I learned that my arms are weak as noodles, meaning I should probably do that more often… we'll see.

Which ones? "Teen necromancers" appears to be a reoccurring theme in my reading this year; I've read Boys of Alabama, Elatsoe, and the first two Locked Tomb books.

Necromancy seems to be a Fictional Thing at the minute...

Sorry to hear about your foot :(
