Update: Got around 15k books on the SD card. It's a 512*GB SanDisk, and I have ~342*GB left, give or take. I had a little error with Calibre having a fit over a folder, but I figured it out by reformatting as internal storage, then restarting the whole mess. Now Moon+ is scanning the books folder to import the books into its DB, so I can set up collections and then do a backup.

I say books, but it's my Instapaper bundles, magazines, fanfic, books I bought from Amazon/Google Play, and books from Standard Ebooks/Feedbooks' Public Domain catalog.

I had to take a break in the middle for a nap, as I'm recovering from surgery.

I hope all went well with the surgery? Rest up, read and a speedy recovery.

Planning a trip to town to get some supplies. Nothing urgent, just bits and bobs that I am running low on!

Going to bag yard trimmings this morning, and weeding. Missouri primroses are starting to bloom.

Eating cheddar cheese... nom!

Feeling thankful that my online meeting ended while enjoying lunch.

I'm thinking about a gummy bear that I've walked past on the sidewalk for four days now, and wondering why ants (or any pests for that matter) aren't eating such a sugary treat.

Maybe Mother Nature's critters know/sense/smell/? something that you do not????

Hell, maybe it's a dope gummy?

If it IS, someone's had a bad week! There's gummies all along that sidewalk (equally unmolested by bugs). Almost like a breadcrumb trail.

A dope gummy trail!

Perhaps they're the sugar-free variety? Too many of those play havoc with one's digestive system!

I'd imagine with the amount of ants in a hill that could be a calamity waiting to happen.

Oh, dear! That would be one unhappy stoner! (Or, to be fair, medical patient.)

From what Diap's described, it is weird. You'd expect the critters to be all over them, unless they're made with something like Stevia?

I believe it's "Sorbitol" which can cause rather explosive results.

Oh, yes, did you ever read Kevin Smith's blog about his attempts to lose weight with a product that used that? OMG....

Hopefully it still exists on the interwebz, I could do with a chuckle.

Tidied up my cross stitch supplies. I got a nice bag to put everything in. But it isn't big enough. I managed to put most things in, except for my floss boxes and my stash of embroidery hoops I have somewhere. I'll need to get some mesh bags for my fabric, I'll sort it

Now I'm making a list for ordering some jewelry supplies.

But soon the fun will be over and I'll have to start laundry and my Sunday cleaning.
