I have read Boundary before, but via am a little fuzzy whether it was pre publication or how. It wasn't in my Baen account. So when I decided I was going to be out of it out long enough to need some books, I picked up the Baen bundle that had Boundary in it.
It is a really good book. Thanks![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seawasp! I am more aware of the crafting and the fact i care for the characters after finding other books in the bundle to fail to engage me at all.
--==∞==--
I am sitting here writing on my phone, which I find fairly awkward, while my laptop beachballs*. Lightroom is backing up, Calibre is bundling news that I will not read, ... I wonder if i am really abusing the machine or if something is wrong with it. Mostly i wonder about the Apple indexing program that indexes everything on the machine, but i also wonder if the old me.com stuff is being switched to iCloud forms in the background. Apple has made too many cloud changes in the background with Dot Mac and Mobile Me that i do not trust them with iCloud.
I can turn off the Calibre news harvesting, shut down Lightroom...
*Yes, I am verbing that, despite the Swype dictionary not recognizing nouns used as verbs.
--==∞==--
I am headed into the office today, despite continued feeling unter the weather. It will probably be good to get out, i write with the hope that maybe the "fake it until you make it" effect will apply. I'm a bit blue, despite long sessions in front of the sun lamp. I expect this is the result of coming out of the colds and travel.
I really want to be something other than a broken record: and i suppose i want to be something i'm not. I feel frustrated at my lack of resiliency --
-- and then i hear my therapist noting just how bad my situation with New Director is, the echoes of her assessment when describing things to my HR person and my Director-of-Choice. Maybe i am resilient, but under a good deal of stress and strain.
I still feel like a broken record. What joy (other than the joy of rereading Boundary!) can i share from the past day? Oh, yes --
Another thank you to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
amaebi who, elsewhere, suggested chowder as an easy to make, easy to scale hearty meal. Four pounds of whiting, a couple pounds of frozen "Potatoes O'Brian", frozen onions, milk and butter were quickly purchased yesterday evening and turned into a meal for the guests sleeping this month at the Meetinghouse. I think that was my "condition of enoughness" for yesterday, and i got it done.
I think there are goals floating in my mind to be done before New Years Day, that may or may not be possible. That's probably causing some of the blues: a sense of failure to get them done hanging over me. I need to come up with the realistic set.
It is a really good book. Thanks
