 I'm going to forget most of today.

This morning when I got to work I finished writing a Thank You note for our budgeting presenter and then I had a meeting for the maker faire. It was me, another librarian in my department, and someone from youth services. It was nice to finally throw around ideas with other people. I think we have pretty much decided to do the wire bracelet thing as a hands-on take home thing, a Makey Makey banana piano as a demonstration, and possibly a pop can box Jenga set for kids and the 2x4 Jenga set for adults (if I make one). I am feeling better about things and much less alone.

I came up with a title and brief description for my keynote presentation in November. I haven't come anywhere close to actually starting on the presentation but for the description I tried to focus on the idea of what I want to cover. Hopefully that works out for me. I think the description sounds pretty good so it would be nice to come close to it.

The teen librarian and I came up with the adulting classes we'll be doing in the Spring and picked the dates. We're thinking of moving the classes to Wednesday, which might end up screwing up the scheduling for our department so we'll see if we stick with it. Just in case I put the classes on the calendar so we won't miss out on the reserving the room.

I started making a cheat sheet for circulation with all the tech classes and workshops coming up. I probably should have finished it but got sidetracked by my coworkers. There is always tomorrow. I also taught the new assistant a little bit about connecting to the wireless. The idea is easy enough but there's a trick when it isn't working, so we covered that and I told her how to give IT her phone information so it will automatically connect to the wireless when she's in the building.

And we'll say that was my day because that's all I remember.

For dinner I made pasta. I was going to go to the store after dinner but then I didn't. It's really hard to leave the house after coming home. I will probably go tomorrow after dinner. It would be nice to go on the way home but everyone has that idea and I'm not a fan of crowded grocery stores. So hopefully the motivation is there later in the evening.

Tonight I played Tera and I was feeling good about hitting max level because I went from level fifty-six to level fifty-nine in a single dungeon. Then I waited forever to get into the next dungeon and only barely dipped into level sixty. I'm a little afraid these last five levels are going to require a ridiculous amount of XP. It's been so long since I maxed out my last character that I can't remember how long the last levels took. I've still got some time so I'm not too worried yet. Also, I haven't gotten the code for my mount for playing Kritika. Part of me thinks they'll wait until after the event is over before sending codes. The the other part of me hopes the first part of me is correct, because I don't want my playing of Kritika to have been for nothing.

And it is now almost midnight so I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I'm tired.
