You are right; I learn so much reading blogs. Thankful for this modern way of communicating.

This is not the first time I’ve said this, and wont be the last time I say that reading your blog makes me feel so very normal.
It is the “me too” moments, which help banish all the times I’ve received those “huh?” looks. LOL
Love this: ‘“How do you find the time?” may often mean “WHY do you spend the time?” or even “How can you justify the time?” And to that, the answer is simple. I love to learn!’
Me too! 🙂

I used to use Send to Reader, but now Amazon has its own version: Send to Kindle. You can install it in your browser or on your desktop, and there are email and Android versions too. I have it installed in Chrome and it puts a small K icon in my top right corner. When I’m reading something on my computer and want to send it to the Kindle, I simply click the K. So easy!

Send to Reader works the same way. http://sendtoreader.com/ You install the bookmarklet and enter your Kindle’s email address. (Important: make sure you go to Amazon > Manage Your Kindle and adjust your document delivery settings so that you have to be connected via Wifi for the document download to occur. You don’t want to make the transfer via Whispernet because you’ll get charged for it!)

If you have a Kindle Fire (and maybe this works with the Paperwhite too? I don’t know) you can install a Google Reader app directly on the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Developer-gReader-Google-Reader-RSS/dp/B006DRVFRQ.

Anyhow, one of the things I wrote about was the householding, and how things had changed since the brain tumor, and so, of course I have gracious plenty time to read, since I’m not doing all of those household chores or yarden work …. However, probably, as you say, what sort of household responsibilities one has has little to do with it. It’s a simple matter of priorities.

The fact is, I **always** read a lot, from age four onwards, I always had a book in hand.

Your comment about (perhaps) being irratable on being interrupted when reading a good book made me laugh: just like Sara in A Little Princess, all abosorbed in the Bastille, and alottie interrupts her, and Sara has to fight to hold her temper …

And I, too, absolutely must forewarn the children when I am going to settle in to write: talk to me now, you know you can’t interrupt me …

My best time to write — creatively, mentally, physically — is in the morning after breakfast. Bt now that’s exercise and PT time (an absolute) and then it’s Lesson Time (another absolute). I have to give my best energy to those pursuits now; by afternoon I am done. I miss the writing, awfully. But I just can’t do it all anymore. And, participating in the online world, the way I used to, that’s a moring energy thing too. So, very little of that nowadays.

I am fascinated by this! I have several that for weeks I keep clicking “keep unread” but not having the time to focus on it. Would love to be able to look at them while I’m waiting in car line to pickup the kids or otherwise out of the house.
