 This morning I got up and ready with plenty of time before work, which is weird because it was really early. I was even on track to be at work five minutes early, but it was not meant to be. There was a race or something on the main street that I needed to cross to get to the library. It is a thing that has happened before but with my old route to work I was on the correct side of the road. My new route screws me. I ended up driving parallel to the road on a side street and the whole freaking thing was blocked. I then drove around the mall and the exit I wanted to take was also blocked off, so I had to turn back around and take yet another route. In the end I was two minutes late. It was very frustrating.

Despite that beginning, I had a productive day. I made a tiny sign, I finished homebound lists, pulled all of the books, checked out all the books, updated most of my spreadsheets, put up the weekly newsletter thing around the building (which was very inefficient because one of the elevators was turned off and I had to backtrack multiple times), and I helped patrons. I helped one find prescription drug information and I helped another one find something on microfilm in the last ten minutes before we closed. She really appreciated it and couldn't believe she only owed a dollar and gave me five dollars instead. So now I have to break the five and figure out where to put the other four dollars. One option would be to turn it into quarters for the desk when people are short for printing. We'll see.

All-in-all, the day seemed to drag a little bit but by the end of the day it seemed like it had flown by. I'm okay with that.

When I got home I did all the usual stuff. I finished the last of my leftovers and I'm not sure what I'm going to have for dinner tomorrow. I want to try a new recipe but I also don't know what I want that recipe to be. I'm also very tempted to pick up a pizza because pizza is delicious and easy.

I started/continued watching New Girl tonight. I started watching it awhile ago but only made it a few episodes in before getting sidetracked. I started again a couple days ago and continued tonight. My goal is the same as it is with every marathon I start, to finish the series. I had the same goal with Friends but that has since fizzled out. We'll see. My more realistic goal should be to finish the first season. While I watched New Girl I played Tera and leveled up a few times. Progress.

It has now taken me far too long to write this because I'm watching New Girl. Luckily there isn't a lot to talk about so the audio journal will go quickly. And then I can sleep.
