 This morning my Bluetooth speaker worked much better and I was actually able to listen to music while I ran on the elliptical. Last night before bed I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I think maybe that is a thing that has to be done every now and then.

Today at work, not a lot got done. My boss was in a meeting all day and it was a very Friday Wednesday. I was on desk for the first two hours. I helped a couple patrons, read news articles, looked at short stories for my article, and talked to my coworkers.

I was then off desk for an hour before doing a walkthrough. I kind of kept working on the short story thing but I was mostly just distracted by my coworkers. And then I went to lunch. My sister stopped by to drop off the pretzels she made for our birthday thing today and I ate several of them before going back to work.

I was off desk for two more hours when I got back to work and I read a little bit of a short story but I was mostly just distracted by my coworkers. At one point I blew up a balloon, I think for the first time in maybe two decades. One of the librarians was working on creating Dementors using cheese cloth and balloons. I blew up one of the balloons so she could get a better idea of how much cheese cloth she would need. I then rubbed the balloon against my jacket sleeve for a little bit so I could stick it to the filing cabinet, because science.

We had our birthday thing in the boardroom, which lasted an hour, and that rolled into an hour-long meeting to go over the upcoming renovation. This is going to quickly turn into a hectic semester, and probably a bit of a hectic summer. Can't wait.

I spent the last hour at work reading and talking to my coworkers. Then I picked up Chipotle (because there were parking spots) before heading to my Mom's for dinner. We ate, talked, and watched YouTube videos. My Mom actually provided a couple videos tonight and they were pretty good.

I got home around 8:30PM, clicked around the internet a little bit, and now I'm writing this. In the very near future I will be recording my audio journal so that I can go to bed. I have been tired all day today and I have to open tomorrow, so it would be nice if I could get more than six hours of sleep tonight.
