 This morning it kind of sucked waking up. I have really sucked at getting seven hours of sleep recently. I miss seven hours of sleep.

People somewhere in my vicinity are shooting off fireworks. That has been illegal for almost twenty-two hours now.

At work today I did things. The day passed by very quickly. I came up with some short descriptions for the tech classes, workshops, and drop-ins so the new librarian could use them in a promotional thing. I'm not a fan of coming up with short, bite-size descriptions. I'm a wordy rambler.

I had a monthly check-in with my boss. Those usually last about five minutes but today we managed to talk for about a half an hour. I think that is a sign of all the crap I have going on at the moment. So much crap.

I made a sign for a potential display for a library program in a couple weeks. We'll see if I have time to pull books between now and then. The sign looks cool though, so hopefully I get to use it.

I worked on the conference proposal a little bit today. Progress was made but not a lot. Tomorrow will have to be the day that real progress is made because the proposal is due on Friday. We'll see what happens.

I got the reading cap raised for the adult summer reading program because it was at a one hundred hours and a patron came in today who was already at one hundred and one hours and still going strong. I looked through some of the other adults signed up and there were at least a few more who had passed one hundred hours. So we raised it to one thousand hours. Right before I left I had a kid and his mom come in and he initially told be he had read 720 hours. I did some quick math and that ended up being the equivalent of reading twenty-four hours a day for thirty days. The program has only been going on for thirty-five days. I mentioned this fact and they re-estimated down to 250 hours, because apparently all this kid does is read all day every day. I don't know his life and we work on the honor system at the library, so I entered in his time and gave him fifty grand prize drawing tickets. I also discovered the reading cap for teens was also 100 hours, so I need to get that bumped up too.

And I think that was pretty much my day at work.

After work I picked up Qdoba and headed to my Mom's house for dinner. While we watched videos my Mom provided dessert in the form of an ice cream pie with small Reese's cups that she made. It was delicious. Later on my Mom gave my sister and I fidget spinners. They are no longer cool, which I think is the perfect time to get into them. Also, mine is green, and that's all that matters.

When I got home, I watered the flowers on my front porch and then clicked around the internet for awhile before starting to write this. It has taken me awhile to write this and it is now nearly eleven o'clock. Thankfully I get to sleep in a little bit tomorrow. I have to wake up a little earlier than I normally would because I am going to meet my friend for lunch before work. That should be good times.

And now I'm going to record my audio journal. I really want to play some Elite Dangerous but I don't know if that is a smart idea. We'll see.
