 This morning when I went to pull out of my garage there was a car parked behind me. Luckily it was far enough back that I was able to snake out but I did nudge the trash can in my garage. There has been a lot more activity over there recently and when I drove past tonight the curtains were open and there were a bunch of Christmas decorations. Based on four or five cars and the noise, I'm assuming they were also having a party. I just hope they learn to park on their side of the driveway so I don't have to have any interactions with them.

When I got to work I was on desk for two hours. Most of that time was spent working on and submitting my monthly report, and reading news articles. And helping the occasional patron, answering the phone, and responding to a chat.

I had two hours off the desk after that and went upstairs so I could watch another leadership video on Lynda.com. It was shorter than the last one so I was able to watch it, take notes, edit my notes, and get them posted to the department blog. A productive two hours.

After lunch I went back upstairs for an hour and composed some emails. I sent to first one to a librarian at the university to set up a time in February for us to go back and sign up university students for library cards. Then I sent one to hopefully get instructors for two of our adulting classes next semester. After a few emails back and forth over the next hour or so I was able to nail down someone for the gardening class. Now I just need to figure out plumbing and taxes.

I was on desk for an hour and along with getting an instructor for the gardening class, I worked on the schedule printout a little bit. I added another comment to cover how to sort the schedule. I also reorganized all of the comment boxes so they flow better and are less scattered. And, I read a couple picture books that one of the other librarians wanted me to read. One was about a lost hat and the other was about a found hat. They were pretty good.

With my last two hours at work I had two walkthroughs and did other stuff. I updated our view count statistics for the pages of our website that I keep track of. Apparently I forgot to do that in October, which I find very believable. I read more news articles. I printed out tomorrow's room schedules because we're switching over to the new system and won't be able to print schedules in the morning. I also figured out how to use one line of code in my macros for my homebound spreadsheet idea instead of one line of code for each row I want to show or hide. I'm pretty happy about it.

After work I went to my Mom's house to feed the dogs and then I went to my house so I could get dinner and relax a little bit. I recorded my audio journal and then I watched videos and livestreams, and played a couple rounds of CoD: WW2 and finished a couple daily orders.

 Now I'm back at my Mom's house, writing this and watching Star Trek: Voyager. As soon as this episode is over I think I'll go to bed.
