 Last night I played The Vanishing of Ethan Carter for the first time, finally. I don't know about the storyline or plot yet but I do know it is a beautiful game. I only got to play for about thirty minutes and I spent most of that time just looking around the world. So regardless of how the game itself turns out, I'm going to enjoy my time in the world. Also, I've jumped a handful of times. I don't know if that will be a continued theme throughout the game but I like it.

Today work by really quickly. Especially the morning. It was over in the blink of an eye. It was kind of crazy. And I didn't take notes but I probably should have. I know I had a couple walkthroughs and I was on desk for an hour this morning. I responded to a few emails, formatted my new weeding list, and formatted another spreadsheet for statistics stuff. And I think that was my morning. Oh, and I helped get a couple set up on the mircrofilm machine. They were there for several hours throughout the day.

This afternoon I had another walkthrough, I was on desk for a couple hours, and I had some free time. I finished formatting my weeding list and it is going to be pretty boring. Out of the 600+ books, only sixteen or so meet the initial criteria to be weeded. Good grief. There will probably be some that are MUSTIE, basically not presentable anymore, but overall there won't be much pulling going on. Over 200 of them are too new to be pulled. But I'm okay with this because our large print is already pretty small and it is hard enough finding books for my homebound patrons.

I had a free hour at the end of the day so I went up to the cubicle and read some of the backlog of magazines I have. I made it through two and got a start on a third, so that's not bad.

On my way home I stopped by my Mom's house to pick up my shoes that arrived. New green Chucks. And I should have a second pair arriving tomorrow. Good times.

When I got home I made cornbread. There is a lot of butter in cornbread. There is also a lot of sugar but I didn't have to worry about that because I forgot to put it in. I got the sugar out (setting it right next to the flour), and I even got the measuring cup out. But I forgot to put it in the bowl. Whoops. Despite that, it turned out alright. It was kind of a like a drier, buttery biscuit. I was really surprised it worked out. I'm glad it did though because I had about thirty minutes of waiting, knowing that I had forgotten to add an important ingredient. I also pulled it out of the oven at pretty much the perfect time because it looked spot-on.

I spent the rest of my night watching YouTube videos and reading things on the internet. And now I'm back to the nostalgic YouTube music playlist while I write this. So good.

After I record my audio journal I'm going to jump back into The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. It's going to be another short session because I have to wake up early, but short is better than none.
