Finally!\u00a0 I am, with this post, managing to have a Nothing Day post again.\u00a0 For those keeping count, I haven’t made a Nothing Day post for the last four Thursdays.\u00a0 That’s none this month until now, and today is the last Thursday of the month.\u00a0 (Just in the nick of time!)\u00a0 Anyway, I will hopefully not miss future Thursdays.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My date last Friday did not happen.\u00a0 I still haven’t heard from the lovely lady I hoped to go out with, but I should see her Sunday.\u00a0 I will hopefully get good contact information from her and set a new date for a date and this time actually have it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last Saturday I got a Kindle for myself.\u00a0 More accurately, it arrived<\/em> on Saturday; I ordered it a week ago today.\u00a0 I also got a red faux (I think it’s faux) leather cover for it with a little light that pops out.\u00a0 The light is powered by the Kindle and won’t turn on if the Kindle itself is not on.\u00a0 I am very pleased with my purchase and have, in fact, put a couple of books on it which I had not previously ordered for reading on my laptop.\u00a0 I have found, in fact, that I prefer reading on it than my laptop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On a related side note, one of the ebooks I got for it is The Color of Magic<\/em>, the first in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld<\/em> series.\u00a0 I have always enjoyed his work, and I already have some of his Discworld<\/em> books in paperback, so it’s good to actually start getting the series in order electronically.\u00a0 The order of the books doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference, by my understanding, but as I have not gotten the second book I can’t say that for certain.\u00a0 The one clue I have for this is that I have at least one other Discworld<\/em> novel from much later in the series and it stands alone rather nicely.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My work hours continue to be long, but at least I feel I am getting reasonably compensated for them.\u00a0 I learned yesterday that my child support payments will start coming out of my paycheck in three weeks, but my overtime is supposed to last for another five weeks at least so I’ll have a little bit of extra dough before I take a big net pay cut.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enough said.\u00a0 With luck, I’ll manage to post again next Thursday.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I’ll see you tomorrow with a poem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally!\u00a0 I am, with this post, managing to have a Nothing Day post again.\u00a0 For those keeping count, I haven’t made a Nothing Day post for the last four Thursdays.\u00a0 That’s none this month until now, and today is the last Thursday of the month.\u00a0 (Just in the nick of time!)\u00a0 Anyway, I will hopefully […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=470"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":471,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470\/revisions\/471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
