 I was a little better this morning about getting out of bed. Still not great but getting better.

I opened this morning with another librarian so we split the normal duties. When I was sharpening pencils I finally had enough of the electric pencil sharpener and went and got an old manual one from the admin copy room. The suction cup base only held for a little bit, so I had to reset it a few times while sharpening a pencil, but it was still less annoying than fighting the electric sharpener.

Before we opened I was able to set up the LEGOS in place of the coloring page. A decent amount of the page was finished and we put it up in the break room so staff can work on it. I borrowed the LEGOS from the children's department and they gave me a giant bag that covers half of the table. It's pretty great.

I did other stuff this morning but other than calling my homebound patrons nothing is coming to mind. One of my patrons tried to talk us out of coming because of how hot it was going to be. I appreciate the concern.

When we got back from lunch it was game on. We were both already sweating just walking from the building to the car. A great start. Our first stop was the historical society to buy a book for a door prize at the presentation tomorrow night. The historical society is giving the presentation and they ended up giving us the book for free, so that's pretty cool. We then moved on and made our deliveries, which went well, minus the heat. It was probably only around 100 degrees when we were out, which is “cooler” than it was supposed to be, so there's that. After our last delivery we went to the grocery store to buy a snack for the event tomorrow night. And then we headed back to the library, where we got all our books unloaded and processed.

I had a walkthrough and then I started working on updating my spreadsheets. The teen librarian came up to work at our desk around 4:15PM and she was asking about whether the wellness screening counted as personal time or if we had to get time back for it. My boss said she thought it was personal time, which I was cool with, but then the teen librarian checked with her boss, the head of the children's department, and she said it counted as work time. Which was annoying because then my boss told me I needed to get back thirty minutes. I really wanted to finish my homebound stuff but I also wanted to get the thirty minutes over with so I ended up leaving at 4:30PM instead of five o'clock.

I went to Qdoba and then headed to my house real quick. I wanted to get the recording of the epic moment in the livestream last night. And then I eventually headed over to my Mom's house for dinner. After we ate I showed videos, starting with the livestream clip. I ended up having to just show it on the computer instead of the TV because I forgot that I record my OBS videos in the FLV format instead of MP4, so it wouldn't work on the TV. But it all worked out alright.

I left my Mom's house around eight o'clock and spent the rest of the night watching YouTube videos, livestreams, and now I'm watching rewatching Tove Lo's Coachella performance because one of her songs came up on the livestream I was watching and I was in the mood.

Now I want to record my audio journal and maybe play a little Elite Dangerous, not in VR, so I can make a little progress and maybe figure out some system map controls that will work in VR.
