Finally did it
Well, I did it. Yesterday, I gave my notice at the library. I'm going to work through July to give her time to at least get mostly through the hiring process of finding a replacement, but then I am out of there ( Read more... ) -
I remember when the library was fun...
It's getting harder and harder to go into work at the library. Now that I can see going back to school in my future, I just want it to start now. As it is, I think I'm going to put in my resignation at the beginning of July to work through the month so I'm out as of August. That way, I don't have to worry about a week off to take Alicia to DC for ( Read more... ) -
Oooo, shiny
The next step in our new game/media room set-up arrived today. There's a big blank wall in front of the new couch, so Craig decided he wanted a bigass TV mounted there so we could watch movies and play games on it. He got an 85" with so many acronyms I have no idea what they are. All I know is that a) it's huge, and b) the picture is crazy sharp, ( Read more... ) -
A long and lazy Sunday
Lazy day. Alicia's BF spent the night, so they went out and got us brunch. Then we played Villainous after we ate, until his mom texted and guilted him into going home early to help her build something. Craig and I curled up on the couch after that to watch mindless movies (a rewatch of Edge of Tomorrow and then My Spy), and now I'm sprawled on the ( Read more... ) -
I really need to not fall off the grid again
Well, hell, I fell off the grid again. I didn't mean to. But we went to Napa, and then I came home and felt like crap, and then things got busy, and...I fell off the grid. Let's try to get back on ( Read more... ) -
About writing
Dreaming and writing are Adam and Eve of the same process. Long before one ever writes a story…one works a story. You have ideas; and they stay there in your barely conscious mind; and you work them over. You masticate them like a puppy with a Christmas slipper until - finally - out comes a story. A significant part of that birthing process is ( Read more... ) -
At least it's Friday
Oddly relaxing day in spite of another weird encounter with my manager. We've been getting a ton of new books in to build up the collection again since they stopped buying very much last year. A big chunk of those are kids books. Our new kids section is packed, so today, I was instructed to pull out all the books we got prior to November 2020 in ( Read more... ) -
Because sometimes a girl wants to feel cute
Alicia and I did some retail therapy tonight at Target because she had bought a few things from the new designer dress collection and needed to return two of them. The collection is bright, quirky, and size-inclusive, so it was fun going through what they had in the store. I ended up only buying one dress - this black polka dot one - and while I ( Read more... ) -
Maintaining is better than gaining
My weight loss has been stalled out at around 14 pounds for the last two weeks. Part of that is because we've had a couple indulgent days where I go way overboard and then spend the rest of the week making up for it. Sunday was one of those days, as Alicia and I had brunch with vaccinated friends and then got pedicures. $5 Bloody Marys at brunch ( Read more... ) -
Been gone too long
Holy crap, I knew I was avoiding posting, but I hadn't realized it has been almost a month. Yikes ( Read more... )
