Up late morning and walked in to work in some truly beautiful weather. It's almost as if summer had arrived early, which it may have what with climate change and all that. In any case, I worked from noon to 8:00 PM close, and it was a pleasantly busy day. We had a large shipment, but the store manager (who I was working with) took care of most ( Read more... )

Up early for subbing this morning, and once again off to the middle school to our south, where I was a seventh-grade geography teacher for the day. It wasn't that bad a day: the kids were kinda loud, but they worked, which is good. I read some more of Jane Steele during my down time, and I continue to enjoy it ( Read more... )

Up just afternoon today, and promptly started some laundry to give myself the feeling that today would be a productive day. Indeed, for a little while it was: I balanced the checkbook and paid some bills (which I should have done over the weekend), and I got caught up online. But it was a dreary day today and I was feeling tired and sore, so I ( Read more... )

I had a very bad night last night: I developed a migraine around 3:00 AM, and it kept me awake with a splitting headache and periodic vomiting for several hours. So of course, today was the day I was called in to work early. I was recovered enough by then that I could walk in, so I did, and I ended up working from 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM close ( Read more... )

Up early for subbing today, and off to the middle school to our south to be a seventh-grade English teacher for the day (plus one class of geography). This is a different English teacher than the one I subbed for last week, but the students were doing the same test practice. These classes were reasonably quiet and well-behaved, or at least the ( Read more... )

Up late morning, and while my back is still sore I'm feeling much better and more energized than I have in a while. I started the morning by setting up a load of laundry, and I picked up a subbing assignment for tomorrow during my usual morning internet time, so that was a good beginning for the day ( Read more... )

Up very late today -- after noon -- and a welcome sleeping in at that. My back was very sore this morning, perhaps from the last ten days of work, but it got better through the day. I got a good start to the day by portioning out some soup stock for freezing, and then I spent several hours online, just relaxing ( Read more... )

Up late morning and walked in to work today. I pulled a noon to 8:00 PM closing shift today, and it was kind of a slow day. Still, we did enough sales that the numbers at the end of the day were actually quite good for this time of year. I also did some publicity work (bookmarks, mainly) and some assorted other tasks, so the day went by quite ( Read more... )

Up early to open the book store, and today I drove in because it was raining and I was very tired. I worked a solo shift today, and it was a pretty quiet day. We did get a middling-sized shipment, so that kept me busy for a little while, but the afternoon was dead slow. I read some more of Jane Steele, which continues to be fun, but that was ( Read more... )

Up mid-morning for subbing today: my assignment was for the second half of the day, so I was able to sleep in a little. In any case, I was in for one of the seventh-grade English teachers in the middle school to our south. The kids were supposed to be spending their class time on computers doing test practice, but they ended up talking more than ( Read more... )
