Today was a very boring day. To say nothing of my days in general. At work today I read. I read a little on my Kindle but spent most of my day finishing Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris. I really liked the book. It was just like the stuff I have heard him read on This American Life. And, in my head, I read the whole book in Sedaris' voice, which made it that much better. Near the end of the book there is a story about how he has been writing an almost daily diary for the last thirty-plus years of his life. I found this to be a very relatable story, due to writing my own journal for years now. He mentioned that for however long now he has created an index for his diary. So if he writes something that he thinks is interesting and can be turned into something later, he'll note it in his index so he can look over it and easily find the story later. I like that idea. The vast majority of my daily writings are all filler but every now and then I have something that at least seems somewhat interesting. I might need to start looking into the index idea.

The only eventful thing at work was when of the movies went to a black screen after the trailers, so the movie sound was still playing but there wasn't a picture. I had hoped that turning off the projector and then turning it back on would do the trick but it didn't. So I did that again but also restarted the Doremi, which is the local computer at each projector, where the movies are stored. The first time I tried that it froze and the power button wasn't working to force-shutdown the computer, so we had to pull the plug. It all took a little longer than I would have liked but I eventually got the movie going again. Which is way better than not getting the movie going again.

At some point before I got off work it had started to snow. It was more of a frozen snow than a flaky snow. But it hadn't been going on for very long by the time I left so I didn't really have to worry about driving in it. Thankfully. Later on in the night it started to sleet and tomorrow we are predicted to get at least a couple inches of snow. I am glad that I didn't have to close tonight and that I don't work tomorrow, so if the weather does end up sucking I won't have to worry about going out in it. Although the library book sale is going on this weekend so it would be nice to go to that. Even though I have no room for more books.

Tonight I did nothing. It was one of those nights. I briefly thought about playing video games but that didn't end up happening. Instead I watched YouTube videos and clicked around the internet. What I'm really looking forward to is going to sleep and being able to sleep for many consecutive hours. And now I've jinxed myself.
