So, last night I think I broke my toe. I was going to turn my fan on
and instead I kicked the fan cord. Really hard for some reason. And
then I reached out to grab the door frame because I was about to fall
over in pain, but when I reached out I immediately got a muscle cramp
along the full length of the left side of my back. So then I was
hopping around on my left foot and shaking my left arm around trying
to get the cramp to go away while cursing my hurt toe. This morning
when I woke up the middle toe on my right foot was slightly purple.
After being vertical for awhile it became very purple. I haven't
looked at it since this morning but I'm slightly worried to see what
it looks like now.
Anyway, this morning I woke up way too early, got ready, fed the
dogs, and made it to my haircut by 7:57AM. Three minutes early ain't
too bad for being so early in the morning. Before I left I was able
to utilize my height and help the lady who cuts my hair by hiding
some power cables for her Christmas lights that were hanging down
from the top of her cabinets.
When I got back to my Mom's house I took a nap, watched Doctor
Who, took another shower to get rid of the stray hairs that
inevitably end up everywhere after a haircut, and then ate lunch and
watched Star Trek: Voyager and YouTube videos.
I had two walkthroughs, thirty minutes apart, when I got to work. It
was a real pain in the foot. And I ended up walking in such away
that my right knee was popping with almost every step. It was
annoying. But I didn't have another walkthrough the rest of the day
so that was nice.
I was on desk for two hours after that and did things. I continued
tweaking the room schedule printout template because it seems like a
thing I'll be doing for the rest of time. I also got a confirmation
for another adulting instructor. And I learned that I the same group
wouldn't be able to help with the plumbing class. I think I've
exhausted the non-profit options so we might need to discuss business
options. Along with that stuff I also helped a patron with microfilm
and tracked down an obscure Moody Blues DVD that is only available
through PBS, so it's $84. I think PBS would make so much more money
if they actually priced their stuff realistically.
After dinner I spent an hour reading library magazines and managed to
finish two of them. A decent accomplishment but I still have twelve
magazines in my stack. Slowly but surely. I also went down to the
basement because we got a call from youth services that there were
people down there, and no one was supposed to be down there. When I
got there I didn't see anyone but I did find a puppet. Evidence that
youth services wasn't lying just to get me to go down to the
basement.
Then I was on desk for two hours. I got a new possible date for the
library card outreach, so that's good, and then I spent most of my
time working on my catalog tutorial. I started it awhile ago but it
all became obsolete when we updated our catalog. So I spent my night
redoing all of the screenshots. I almost caught back up to where I
was before. A lot of work in an attempt to get back to square one.
Good times.
I took a little break in the middle of that to take a look at the
newly rearranged tech center classroom. It's not done but it's an
impressive start. They got rid of the back two rows and moved the
other rows forward to make room for a big table in the back. This
will make the room a lot more versatile than just a computer room.
After work I went straight to my house so I could record my audio
journal. There were four cars in the neighbor's driveway (two of
which were over the center line) and one in the street. One of the
reasons for picking this house was to avoid all the college kids on
the other side of town. But they've found me.
When I got back to my Mom's house I started writing this and watching
Psych: The Movie. It has taken me just short of forever to
write this because I've been distracted by the movie. It is so good.
My expectations were really high and it has exceeded all of them.
