deadly dull

If you don’t know how dull it is to spend a day backing up documents, files, sorting, and generally attempting to deal with a bjillion different things in a somewhat organized fashion, I am jealous.

I had a lot more books on Amazon than I remembered. This is partly due to the library & Amazon having had a “load your borrows into your Kindle library option” for several years. Why would I do that? Well because there was this option that allowed you to get a discounted price on some audiobooks from Audible if you “owned” the book. Apparently it took a while for the software update to be fixed so that it didn’t take “borrowed” as “owned.”,

In any case I still have a serious number of library books listed in my kindle inventory with the caveat of “not eligible for transfer or downloading.” But I don’t know if deleting them will affect my audiobook list on Audible. I suppose I should find out… I don’t want to ask obviously. So I might just pick something that I don’t care about – delete the book and then check Audible regularly.

I am tired, my shoulder is sore, and I still have a few hundred books to back up…

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
