January 4, 2018

 Last night I got ten and a half hours of sleep. It was awesome and exactly what I needed after yesterday. I woke up feeling much better, though it still hurts my head if I cough or sneeze, so I've been trying to avoid both of those things. I was even able to run on the elliptical for eleven minutes without an issue. Not a bad way to start the day.

I didn't go in until 1:30PM, because I work the weekend, and I spent the first half hour kind of on desk and then the next hour on really on desk. I updated a couple stat spreadsheets, adding sheets for 2018, because that's the year we're in now. I also helped a patron print something and helped another patron find city ordinances. And I read articles, because that has become a thing I do.

Then I went upstairs for an hour and caught up on the news until it was time for my dinner break.

When I got back I was on desk for two hours and we got four new personalized reading list requests in less than an hour. It was kind of crazy. We also got a response from one of the last patrons I made a list for saying how much she liked it. Then my boss discovered the reason behind the influx of requests. It turns out the patron who sent us that nice email is a friend of our boss, and along with the email, she had also posted on Facebook about how great the service is, which obviously inspired her friends to try it out.

The rest of my night was spent reading a few articles, talking to one of my coworkers because he dropped by the desk several times, and working on one of the new personalized reading lists. I probably could have finished it if it wasn't for my coworker, but that will give me something to do this weekend. Along with another list or two if no one claims them tomorrow.

When I got home I played a little CoD: WW2. I had fun, and got in the top three a couple times, but I didn't feel like I did very well. It was one of those sessions where my aim was off, it felt like it took way too many bullets to kill guys, and they were able to kill me way too fast. Oh well.

Now I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I would like to not leave the house tomorrow but I have a couple checks I need to deposit, and I think I might use that as an excuse to buy another Powerball ticket. Then I can spend the day thinking about what I would do with $500 million.
