 I didn't sleep very well last night. I lost track of how many times I woke up and I think it was mostly due to my room being too hot. I like being cozy but not hot. It's apparently a fine line. It was warm outside today, not quite as warm as yesterday, but I think just to be safe I'm not going to turn my heater on tonight.

I started keeping track of my day but I stopped after writing down the first thing. So that happened. Or didn't happen. My main goal for the day was to come up with display things because the new month starts tomorrow. This morning I came up with a list of one hundred non-fiction either written by or written about African Americans. I don't foresee the display checking out more than ten books throughout the month, so my list is a bit overkill. I also made a sign for my display which looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

My other display is the DVD cart and one of my fellow librarians had the idea of Make War, Not Love, as an anti-Valentines Day theme. I liked it but my boss wasn't sold on the title. I'm still thinking about a new title and I have also decided to turn it into a his and her display, so I will have war/action movies and romantic comedies, the idea being a couple could check out two completely different movies and both be happy. We'll see how it goes. I just need some inspiration so I can make a sign. I played around with having a picture of a couple kissing in front of a sunset with a very transparent picture of an explosion on top of it. I'm not really feeling that though. I just had the idea of having action heroes saying nice things, like Valentine cards for kids. That might be a little too involved. I'll come up with something.

This afternoon I was on the desk for two hours, which was the only time I was on desk all day, and it was very uneventful. I had a couple chats and answered the phone a couple times but that was about it. I spent the most of my time working on the DVD display, with not much to show for it.

There just wasn't much going on today. Pretty much just working on displays, which doesn't leave much to write about.

I finally got around to eating my Chipotle leftovers tonight. That means I will be eating Chipotle three times this week, because tomorrow will be Chipotle night and then I'll have leftovers on Thursday. I'm okay with that.

After dinner I watched YouTube videos and played Tera. I log into Tera every day to get the small log in reward, but today I actually played. They updated the warrior character so I created one and tried it out. I'm still a fan of the brawler but I like the warrior better than whatever character I created last time. I didn't put much effort into that one. I really only tried the warrior tonight because if you get to level fifteen before a certain date you get a loot box that you can open when you hit level sixty-five, which is the max level. It takes so long to max-level a character and I don't know that I want to put that time in again. The leveling is the funnest part, however, because I really lost interest in my brawler once I maxed it out. It's the same with every game. I lost interest in one of the COD: Black Ops games after I stopped prestiging, and it's hard to stay interested in Battlefield because it takes so long to level, mostly because I suck. Leveling is obviously my motivation in games.

On Saturday I'm helping with an outreach thing at the mall so I have to take that time off before the weekend. So, tomorrow I am going in an hour and a half late, at 10:30AM, leaving an hour early, and taking an extra hour at lunch on Thursday. Easy.

Now I'm going to record my audio journal and then maybe consider going to bed. Or maybe I'll read for a bit. Who knows. I'll start with the audio journal and see what happens.
