"To be good at wishing, practice wishing as you would any skill. Wish with no concern for reality. Too often our friends, our relatives or our inner critics try to restrict our wishes by pointing out that they’re impractical or impossible. This is a space where you can wish away, free from any constraints."

So, i'm trying to rest so this chest cold will go away. It's not debilitating, but my voice turns croaky and my body aches.

I went shopping. There are Kindle deal of the day books for $3 each. And then free kindle books -- short stories, mostly, i think, teasers for author's other works.

How could i turn down having these on my phone?

Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: Meetings [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 2.99 -- 20101229 neither as entertaining as i had hoped nor with practical advice.

Always On : Language in an Online and Mobile World [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 2.99

And these -- if it was anything other than moving electrons i'd probably not waste the resources, but, i'll give them a try. Heidegger's Glasses *sounds* good....

Heidegger's Glasses [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 0.00 -- 20101229 Started.
Retro Demonology [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 0.00 -- 20101229 Short story plus first chapter of what seems like a YA paranormal coming of age book.
Money Girl's Smart Moves to Deal with Your Debt [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 0.00
Free Harlequin comics: Something Old, Something New [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 0.00 -- 20101229 It's really what i thought it was and, argh! B&W on the Android Kindle client.
Remedial Magic [Kindle Edition], Price: $ 0.00 -- 20101229 Short story plus first chapter of what seems like a YA paranormal coming of age book.

Once i'd skimmed the free stuff at Kindle i wondered what cheap stuff was available at Audible. Here, the sale prices just squeaked under $10 (real money), but that's over half off. So i scanned the hundred fiction titles for sale and found two novels, about a cross country flight length, each. This is a good deal. I've got a flight in February lined up.
