I don't mind the rain so much as the heavy winds we've had the past few days. I'm just so glad it is cool. When I look at some of the rest of the country and what they are dealing with, I feel that I have it pretty good.
I'm getting used to reading on the Nook that I got for Christmas, but I think I really prefer holding a book. Jeannie tweaked a few things on it today - gave me a space between lines which makes it much easier to read. She also enlarged the print a bit more, and showed me how I can adjust it. I wish the library carried more books with enlarged print, but I will read what I can for as long as I can. There are several books I want to purchase for the Nook, but I need some help for a while to do things like that. I thought it would be a snap to use, and I guess it will become easier the more I use it. It has way more capabilities than I need or want and actually can be used the same as a smart phone with tons of options. I just want simple! Is that asking too much? I'm sure I've complained about this before, so please forgive me for harping on it. It is depressing when I realize that things that used to be intuitive now take me a while to figure out. So I get irate and discouraged and usually end up saying "the hell with it!"
I'll be very glad to have it if and when I make the trip to NY by train in a few months. I need to get a memory card for it so I can load it up with books to read enroute. I had set a tentative date to leave but saw that my calendar has doctors' appointments that are sprinkled throughout the spring. I need to get the current issues out of the way, as well as seeing the cardiologist before I take off. I was worried that I was having slight chest pains, but they've gone away and I think I must have done some exercise that caused it. Every now and then I get determined to exercise more, but my good intentions end up on that paved road that leads to you know where!
Please excuse my ramblings - one of these days I'm going to do something fun to write about!

The weather is all over the place in the country this weekend. We could sure use your rain though.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will master that Nook by the time you get on that train to NY.
I'd send you some of our rain if I could! You have more faith in my mastering the Nook than I have, but I'm determined to figure it out.
DeleteIs there a way to bookmark where you left off reading so you can pick up where you left off? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteIt is supposed to remember the page I left off and usually does. However, because I have enlarged the print (and therefore increased the number of pages) it sometimes returns me a couple of pages off. Knowing that, I just go back a couple of pages to the beginning of the chapter or section I left off from.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are planning to get out and about. A train to New York sounds like FUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I will deal with it this time. I've always enjoyed the trip, SO I'll probably love it now. I plan to spend more time in the observation car than I have in the past! It's a beautiful country.
