 Today was fairly uneventful. I woke up early but ended up just listening to the radio and dozing on and off. It would have been nice to read but it is hard to pass up dozing and music.

At work most of my time before my dinner break was spent working on my presentation. I knew I had my practice class scheduled for next week but I checked tonight and it turns out I give it on Monday, so it's a good thing I focused on that instead of my homebound book lists. I still have some work to do on the presentation, including running through it once or twice, and that will have to be done this weekend. Off the clock. Don't tell my boss.

It would have been nice if I could have worked on my homebound lists because I still need to come up with and then pull about fifty books by Wednesday. That is going to be stressful. Especially considering I don't appear to have much time to work on it before then. It'll be fun.

I also did some other things at work, like watched usability videos, helped carry a bookshelf upstairs, and answered a few questions. It was just a quiet day at the library. That made it productive but I wish I could have been more productive.

Tonight there wasn't a custodian which meant we had a few more closing duties. My most nerve-racking one was walking the stairwell that has alarmed doors. You have to disarm it to get it and re-arm it once you're in. I was worried I would end up setting off the alarm because it seemed like it would be easy to do. But it turned out to be pretty simple. At least I think it was. Maybe I did something wrong. I also got to lock the doors in the atrium, which took me back to my theater days. And I got to turn off the last lights, something that I kind of want to do every time now because it gives a good finale to the evening.

When I got home I watched YouTube videos and clicked around the internet for awhile, mostly looking at fountain pen stuff and home theater stuff. I eventually got around to watching London Has Fallen on Netflix. I only very vaguely remember the first movie, Olympus Has Fallen, and kind of get it confused with White House Down because they came out at the same time and it felt like two teams had the same idea for a movie and raced each other to get them out. I liked both of those movie, though. At least White House Down, which I have seen more recently so I still remember it. As for London Has Fallen, I don't know. It had some good moments but it is definitely the most cliché-filled movie I have seen, maybe ever. I'm a fan of witty quips but they were trying too hard with most of the one-liners in this movie. It was very cringy. I probably won't watch it again unless I want to watch the first and second back-to-back for an over-the-top overload.

Maybe this weekend I'll go look at houses. Or maybe I won't. My realtor told me yesterday morning he would contact me later in the day. He did not. And I didn't hear from him today, either. I know he's a busy guy and I was kind of just dropped in his lap on Wednesday, so I can't expect him to drop everything, but I also want to get this ball rolling so I don't miss out on something. Like the condo I've been thinking about since June. I have started checking every day, expecting it to go off the market. Considering it has been on the market for over 120 days and dropped in price by $10,000 since June, it doesn't seem like a lot of people are interested. Or maybe there are a lot of people but something is wrong with the place. I don't know. And I won't until I get to look at it in person and find out for myself. But my realtor needs to get back to me first. He said he was going to start compiling a list of houses but he hasn't really talked with me about what I'm looking for or anything like that, so I don't know. I just need to pumped the brakes and let him do his thing. Or maybe go with the realtor I met in June because she's newer and probably has a shorter client list. Or maybe I could pump the brakes.
