Things I've Been Thinking About Today

1. The death of the adult daughter of a church acquaintance over the weekend. The visitation was tonight at church. I did remember, finally, to get a card tonight to mail tomorrow.


2. The breath-stopping realization of something at Bible Study this morning.


3. My niece. This ranges from something she shared with me this past weekend that is not bloggable to getting a handle on why she doesn't like to read. I don't think she's much into symbols or metaphors, which sorta makes fiction difficult.


4. Cookies. So, yeah, because I was thinking about them, I bought some. ...sigh


5. I cataloged very little today, less than yesterday in fact. Instead, I spent a lot of quality time on checking authors and deleting dead authority records in the catalog. If you don't know what I just said, it's ok--most people don't, including an annoyingly high percentage of degreed librarians.


6. Finally prepared the mailing for youth group that was meant to go out last week. Better late than never, right?


7. IT IS BEYOND FUCKING COLD AT WORK. Really, I don't think the heat has come on yet; it's almost the same temperature inside as it is outside. Since there was snow falling today, that's not good.


8. Yeah: snow falling today. It was pretty. I hate winter.


9. I wonder if Sparky's friend Jett is going to keep coming over all the time next school year, after Sparky heads to college. Jett is a sophomore this year. His home life is a little fubar (nothing major, just kinda unpleasant and tense). He gets a huge kick out of calling me by my first name--since all the youth group kids do, and he comes to youth group, so.... He works it into conversation EVERY time I see him. It makes me laugh. Mostly I keep it inside. Teenagers=puppies.


10. Beast annoys the shit outta me sometimes when he travels. Really. Terrible thing to say, eh?


11. I may never have to buy cheese again. Or at least this year. I think we have enough varieties to stock a small deli.


12. The book I'm listening to in the car is depressing. The reader isn't very good. Unfortunately, the characters and plot have sucked me in and I will finish it, but I'm not enjoying it.


13. At some point, I really ought to update my book blog. I've been thinking about that for about a week now. Maybe more. It's a month out of date. I really have finished several books this month, but I'm sure not reading the volume of material I used to. Curse you, Facebook!!
