 My alarm clock went off at 6:30AM this morning but I stayed in bed until after 7:00AM because my bed was warm and my room was cold. Also, I miss my old bed. It is really hard, and there is a spring that kind pokes me occasionally, but when I sit up in the morning my back doesn't hurt. My new bed is firm but also cushiony, and when I sit up in the morning it feels like my spine has to settle back into place.

When I finally got out of bed, I got ready, and then headed upstairs to feed the dogs. I then ate breakfast as I made my lunch, because that's what I do, and then watched Star Trek: Voyager and Doctor Who until it was time to go to work.

I was off desk for two hours when I first got to work and spent that time reading news articles and I started converting my homebound spreadsheets to the new layout. I had to tweak the new layout a little bit as I went but I'm happy with it.

After a walkthrough I worked on the room schedule printout. I had to edit the report so that it will include events, and then I made a few changes to my template, trying to make it make more sense. Slowly but surely.

I had an hour off desk after work and went upstairs to continuing working on my homebound spreadsheets. And then I was on desk for two hours. The first part of that was spent walking one of the other librarians through the updated room schedule template. Kudos to my coworkers for trying to figure out the very convoluted template designed to make things simpler.

The rest of my time on desk was spent finishing the conversion to my new homebound spreadsheet layout, and tweaking my room schedule printout template, yet again. I think I'm done with it at this point but we'll see how it goes when people actually have to start using it.

I was off desk for my last hour at work and I decided to walk around a little bit because I had been sitting at the desk and playing with spreadsheets for two hours. I rearranged my parent cart display and then ran into my co-presenter from the conference. We chatted a little bit and then I headed back to the desk and sat at our table and read a little bit of a library magazine. I'm so far behind on reading library magazines.

As I was about to leave I noticed a wasp, just hanging out on the exit door leading to the backstairs. So I went back to the desk, grabbed our spider cup, and caught a wasp. I then released it outside and I was really glad that it didn't attack me because it was buzzing around in the cup and I have no idea if I'm allergic to wasps.

After work I got gas and then went to my Mom's house to let the dogs out and feed them dinner. And then I came home to eat dinner and watch YouTube videos. I just finished recording my audio journal and soon I'll be heading back to my Mom's house.

Tomorrow I don't go in until 10:30AM so I'll get to sleep in a little bit. I'm looking forward to that.
