Wow, am I busy today. The index cards are stacked, and I have a Blue Bakery project bigger than your head. I’m also trying to take quick treadmill walks to get my steps. It’s not a pleasant relaxing day. But I’m being productive.

Yesterday, Mr. K and I met my family out for dinner. Hijinks ensued. We sat with the loud drunk people. Mr. K finds my siblings endlessly amusing. He hasn’t had fifty years worth of it yet. After, we went to the nice Walmart. I needed department store-type things.

Oh, I have been eyeing and researching it for months and have finally purchased the Xeink e-reader. Click this link to view a video about it. It’s a hokey old-school e-reader that is super tiny and simple. It only has a four inch screen, is not a touch screen, and is not android based. It thus cannot do kindle books. I’ll need to buy epub books on google play and sideload them. This is not a deal breaker and is a simple lift. This device’s only function is to read books. That’s it. And it’s so tiny, light, and thin, you can slip it in your pocket and always have it on you. This is the big draw for me. I have the Boox Palma now (and of course a dozen Kindles) but they are not pocket portable. Amusingly when I ordered, I got an email from the company saying that their staff is currently celebrating Chinese New Year which will delay shipment. To apologize, they are going to throw in a free case with my order. I’m excited to have a new toy.
