THURSDAY

I pushed water really hard this noon for the blood draw and apparently it made a huge difference. At 2pm the nurse found a BIG vein and used the regular needle without a hitch. It still left a nasty bruise on my inner arm but at least it was only one poke. I stopped at the library on the way home to pick up the first half of Days of Snow and Ashes on CD as I'm very nearly finished listening to The Fiery Cross.

I've been reading Bujold stories, too, and am amazed the library doesn't have any of her work. I've got to take several bags of paperbacks in to trade and hope I can find more Bujold books there.

Heh. I hold on to my Bujold books. Though sometimes the compilations are easier to find, right now. (Baen re-released some of the earlier stuff two books to a volume). My copy of "A Civil Campaign" is pretty darned dog-eared.

Overall, I prefer her Miles Vorkosigan books. But the Chalion books are good, too. The new Sharing Knife series... comes off just a little thin in comparison.

Have fun!

I'm well into the second Miles compendium and looking forward to more. Her writing reminds me a little of Heinlein's who was one of my favorites over the years. I like the way she builds on her timelines and develops her characters. I hope she lives long and writes often.
