It is, Matt.

Don’t do meth seems like a good plan even without surprise poops but definitely that would drive it home.
I had to be fasting for labs this morning and now my head hurts and I want to go back to bed but I have to work for a living. Boo.

I’m going to have to dive back in to Temeraire and Curse of Chalion and a half dozen new to me things after this conversation.
I use their apps on my laptop or iPad or mobile phone
The draw of the actual Kindle for me is that I don’t get notifications or keep absently popping over to email or FB or solitaire. I stay much more focused.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I cycle between reading on my kindle, on a laptop, and on my phone. Not being able to search as well or look things up as easily on the laptop irritates me. I use those kind of a lot. And I can't read magazines at all on the laptop. But having a tab open that I can switch to while I'm waiting for a report to finish running rather than going to a completely different device is nice. Weirdly, I can read magazines formatted to match the print edition on my phone but not on the kindle, but of course the phone has a tiny screen. I got a Kindle Oasis specifically because it is waterproof (or resistant, I forget which) so I could read in the steam room at the gym and I actually do that sometimes. It's also designed to be held one handed and it really does seem more comfortable lying in bed holding an iPad - although I haven't been able to justify getting a new iPad since my last one got old and tired and cranky so I am not comparing to today's iPads, they may be better in that respect.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
First hummingbird of the season at my feeder. Yay!
