bearshortyIt is Memorial Day so it is a day to remember all the soldiers who fight in wars.
Kindle. Ok, I’ve learned how to skim, there is a button that moves you back to the start of a chapter so I can skim ahead from the first chapter page and then get back to it. And there is a button to show the page number I’m actually on. I still miss having a book but I have adjusted to reading on Kindle. And I could skim my book, which was nice.
My internet is being finicky. Everything is connected but no Internet connection. I kind of need it tomorrow for work. I did send off my department forms that were due tomorrow so that is something. I did manage to talk to Mama on Skype too.
Today was a working day – both Bear and I had work to do on our computers. But I did make a nice dinner of baked ziti and a burger (I just had baked ziti). For lunch, I gave Bear the curry from yesterday but for myself I took a cooked potato I had and fried it up with pepper and onions and it was delicious. I love frying circles of a potato that was previously boiled. We also went for a nice walk in the evening and finished watching the second Pirate movie.
We had a day planned tomorrow but all those plans went out of the window because Bear has to go home tomorrow morning because of a medical emergency going on with his family. I can’t go into detail because Bear asked me not to but I do want to ask for good thoughts sent into the universe.

Date: 2011-05-31 03:18 pm (UTC)I kind of wondered about how to find passages/skim through in a Kindle book vs. a real book. Sometimes the book will reference something that was said or that happened earlier in the story, but I find it's somewhat difficult backtracking to find it in digital format. With a real book it's easier because I know more or less how big a chunk of pages back it was. Still, I'd love to have an actual Kindle, because it does have a lot of fantastic qualities, too. :)
Best wishes and good thoughts to Bear and family - I hope everything's okay.
