 This morning I woke up early because I went to bed at eleven o'clock. Once again, it is nice not sleeping through the entire morning. When I got out of bed I went out to the living room and read from a couple books for awhile. And then I played Terraria, because that's what I do now.

Eventually I got ready and ate lunch before heading to the convention. I realized shortly before going that I had forgotten all of the outreach stuff, like brochures and flyers, at the library. Whoops. Kind of defeats the major purpose of an outreach event. But I remembered the Makey Makey and the potatoes, so that's something. I think I was so focused on not forgetting that stuff that I forgot the other stuff. It even briefly crossed my mind yesterday but then I got distracted by something else. Oh well.

Despite not being the most vocal or obvious representative of the library, I would say the event went pretty well. I was right by the door (and also a trash can, so it smelled like old McDonald's the whole time). I briefly spoke with a librarian from out of town that is setting a gaming thing up at his library, so that was work related, and overall there were thirty-two people at my table, most of which played the game. If only I had remembered the outreach stuff.

I was there for three hours and afterward I picked up a sandwich at Jimmy John's and a drink at Sonic before heading home. I was there just long enough to load up my laundry and head to my Mom's house. And then I did laundry. I looked are the internet. I think I found the planner I want to buy. I want to keep better track of my work stuff and I think it would be helpful if I could write everything down in one place. I'm not a fan of trying to keep track of everything digitally because it always seems to be in a million different places. I would like to find a 2017 version so I could finish out the year and see if it works for me, but this late in the year that seems to be difficult. I'll keep looking.

In internet news, my sister is pretty great. She was annoyed with the service I got yesterday so she got on Twitter and got in contact with them. And now I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow between 3:00PM and 5:00PM. That is way better than the information I got on the phone. I just hope it ends up being a problem on their end and not my router, because it will cost me $75 for the service call and then I would have to buy a new router on top of that. That would suck. I just want it to be something quick and simple so I can get back online. It's annoying paying for a service and then not getting it.

Now I'm going to go home and probably play Terraria. Because that's what I do now.
