This will be my last cross-post from Dreamwidth to LiveJournal, as everyone has now made the transition. I am still deciding whether or not to delete my LJ account altogether; doing so would break almost all of my image links. (Dreamwidth did not originally do image hosting, so I had continued to upload my images to LJ and link to them there. I ( Read more... )

Twenty-five years ago, while weeding the craft section at the library, I came across a book on making stuffed animals and remembered how fun it was to make simple ones as a kid. Since the book was set to be discarded anyway, I took it home with me. The patterns aren't the greatest, but the instructions are clear, so it wasn't a horrible book to ( Read more... )

I don't think I'm sick, but I've been unusually tired since last weekend, and not inclined to do all that much. I even took a nap this afternoon (a short one).

I had decided to skip the breakfast buffet, so I had a granola bar in my room, followed by a bagel with cream cheese once the staff den opened.

The library roof leaked badly in the storm on Tuesday, so we've been closed all week while that gets cleaned up. The damage mitigation company has been hard at work drying things out and repairing walls and ceilings. You'd think it would only be the second (top) floor that got wet, but water made it down to the first floor as well. One of the ( Read more... )
