Wow, I knew I hadn’t posted in a while, but didn’t realize it’s been over two months — jeesh! And truthfully, this is sort of a faux-post, which I’m able to put up only because Ryan’s baseball coach decided not to go to the post-season awards night. Apparently Ryan was…

New second job, changes at first job, sports, clubs, & doctor appts.
I’ve found myself unexpectedly alone in the house with nothing I immediately need to do, so I’m writing this to let people know that, Yes, I’m still alive, but I really HAVE been too busy to get in touch and catch up. The calendars for April and May look like…
Back to school / Time passing
The boys go back to school tomorrow. I am already thinking ahead to the next day I’ll be able to take the day off from work, now that Jeff has a job again and the boys will be at school, and I’ll be able to have a real and true…
A blah blah blog post
So I have a little bit of “home alone” time, and so many things that I could do, and a few that I probably should do, like walk on the treadmill (and that would also mean watching Lost from two nights ago, and it’s supposed to be an amazing episode,…
Feeling better, thanks to book bargains!
Today at work, I was feeling kind of blue. Parts of my day were somewhat productive, but I also had a difficult request, took quite a while to find a library that owned the right volume of the journal, one that also would hopefully not charge us an arm and…
Software change further hampers blog communications
A couple days ago, my work changed the program they use to block people from accessing certain kinds of websites on work computers. I completely understand the need for this, and for the most part, I understand why they block the kinds of sites they block — because even if…
Surrounded by piles
It seems that it doesn’t matter how many plates I’m trying to keep in the air. What matters is that I’m fat. I was on a diet and exercise program — a LONG time ago now — that enabled me to lose 30 pounds. I’ve since gained it all back,…
Getting through June
Not a good weekend. Last night before bed, I cried for what seemed like an hour. Why? Oh, a little of everything. I’m dragging this morning, and Jeff probably is, too, since my crying and babbling kept him awake. I’m flying out on Saturday to go to the Special Libraries…
A good day at work
At work this afternoon, I had such a wonderful feeling: maybe for the first time, I could really feel how close we’re getting to the end of our backlog. I’ve been plodding through the collection for over five years now – and Becky’s been working on it even longer –…
Obama uses “the L-word”: Libraries
I happened to click on a headline that said President-Elect Obama had made his most specific statements to date about how he hopes to stimulate the economy. The article, “Obama sketches out recovery plan,” was in CNN’s Money section. One of the five main goals: “modernize classrooms, labs and libraries.”…
