I said I'd go to bed early

But I finished the chapter instead, another 1000 or so words 2100 today, 65725 total in the book now.
Tomorrow: fix and finish the very last chapter, go back to the beginning and retcon the stuff about memorials and the dead.

Then: go through the whole thing looking for continuity stuff, making sure that the tech is the same (or logically different) throughout, check for glossary items -- I don't think a book should need a glossary, and I don't think this one needs it, but I gather that a lot of people like them, and it made me feel good to work on it when I wasn't otherwise progressing.

Then the draft is done.

Then I'll send out queries.

Answer me this

You know how your Windows machine generally has a little time thing in the far corner of the toolbar?

Why has mine suddenly started gaining large chunks of time all the time, causing me to have to manually resynchronize it? And why does it take two tries to synchronize it?

The first time I noticed it was a few days ago when it was twenty-some minutes fast. This time it was eight minutes fast.

What is this? How do I stop it?
