I felt I should make that clear from the get-go. I fell at work on Friday. My heal caught the top of the second to last step as I was stepping down and I fell, books in hands (I’m a librarian, of course I had books in my hands) and landed on my right knee.Continue reading “I’m Not Patrick Mahomes”

Out of the Box
We called the cops twice last week to the library. Ok, we called once, and a patron called the other time. End result was the same: Cops at the library. And that makes me feel defeated on so many levels. First off, I am not wading into a fight between teens with a circle ofContinue reading “Out of the Box”
So much for multitasking
I have always found it hard to multitask when writing. The have to write takes over my want to write brain. The book challenge update (we talked about this right?): she submitted the written challenge for one of my books, my director responded no we are not pulling it and she wants to appeal toContinue reading “So much for multitasking”
Book Challenge
Patron submitted an official book challenge on one of my books the other day. By one of my books, I mean in my collection BUT it also turns out one I myself had ordered in late 2018. And at the time I did think about potential ramifications but I believe (and still do) that itContinue reading “Book Challenge”
Susan
My mother’s name was Susan. She was one heck of a gal. She would give you the shirt off her back… even if she was not wearing one (necessitating her daughter providing said two shirts) but also teaching me the joy and the value of giving without any thought of reward. She had my back.Continue reading “Susan”
Life Beyond Thunderdome
My offspring is in his second year of college with a major in architecture. I am fascinated beyond belief of the stuff he makes. We have a room filled with “things”. Models? Drafts? Even the terms can confuse me. Some are small and some are quite large to the point I have suggested the atticContinue reading “Life Beyond Thunderdome”
It had been a bit
Since I had worked in a field that encouraged going to conferences. Back in the early 90s, it was all the rage. Lots of corporate money flying around. Lots of conferences in Vegas or Orlando. Seemingly little sessions but lots of golf, I am told. When I was about 8, my father was a volunteerContinue reading “It had been a bit”
Boards
I will let the cat out of the bag… I am older than the internet. And to be honest, I was not one of the first to jump on the crazy train. Shocking, I know. I didn’t AIM or even AOL. I didn’t have a Myspace nor did I fear for my freedom because ofContinue reading “Boards”
It is ok; it is in the Vault.
You can put that book on hold or ask from it another library. I won’t say anything. How to raise weasels or how to cook weasels. How do divorce your spouse or how to find a lost spouse. How to tell rare coins from fakes. How to make fake coins. Fifty shades of grey. TheContinue reading “It is ok; it is in the Vault.”
Pollen and Laughter
The pollen counts are insane right now. Trees, Grasses and Molds are all high and on the verge of very high. Only weeds remain low. As someone who is allergic to all four… it has been a heck of a spring. It has rained and stormed. We had hail last night and there are ducksContinue reading “Pollen and Laughter”
