September 18, 2017

 Waking up this morning kind of sucked but I did it. When I got to work I did all the opening stuff. I didn't sharpen nearly as many pencils this morning but I completely filled the pencil box and the small basket we keep pencils in. It is so much better than when we were barely keeping even.

I was off desk for the first hour and spent that time pulling books for homebound. I managed to get all but the one patron who only reads large print non-fiction. I was then on desk for two hours and I was able to check out all of the books and update my spreadsheets. I also helped several patrons but it was a pretty quiet morning. It was only me and my boss because two librarians were off today and the other didn't come in until noon.

I went to lunch at one o'clock, instead of noon, and the other librarian said things got a little nuts in the hour I was gone. She had multiple people in person, in the chat, and on the phone all at the same time. Those periods are typically rare but they can be overwhelming when they happen.

I think the afternoon was fairly quiet. It was also kind of short because I got back from lunch at two o'clock and I was off at five o'clock. One of the IT people brought up a board with wires taped down with conductive tape that they had used for the Makey Makey before. I spent some time setting that up and messing around with it. I didn't have any fruit, so I was having to just touch the wires, but I think it will work out a lot better than having everything arranged on the table. I just need to figure out when to buy the bananas (and possibly potatoes) and I need to get the piano and some other stuff downloaded so we can use it offline.

I showed one of the other librarians, who will be there next weekend, how to make the wire bracelets. It is exhausting on the wrists and my right thumb. I can still feel it.

I was also able to make/print all my homebound bookmarks, put them in the books, and got them bagged up. Tomorrow I should be able to pull the last set of books and get everything finished. In theory, anyway. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow with a tech drop-in and the next adulting class. So hopefully I'll have some free time.

When I got home I made a couple small frozen pizzas for dinner. I have had them in my freezer maybe since I bought the house. But I decided to cook them in the oven and I think that made all the difference because they turned out pretty tasty. The plan was to go to the store tonight after dinner but that didn't happen. I ended up taking a nap instead. I was freaking tired. I can go tomorrow night after work.

I spent the rest of the night watching YouTube videos and playing a little bit of The Happy Hereafter. I think I'm done with it because I've unlocked everything and maxed out a lot of the stuff. Time to move on.


Now I'm going to record my audio journal and watch a few more YouTube videos before bed. I can sleep in tomorrow if I want but I'm tired now and I want to get back to the earlyish to bed, earlyish to rise thing.
