Today

1. Hard to get up this morning, but then Beast's phone did the Fox NFL song for his wake up. He snoozed it about 10 times before turning the damn thing off--his snooze is set for about a minute.
2. I forgot to put on deodorant. Discovered it sitting on the counter when I got home tonight.
3. When I was ready to leave, I boosted Beast to tell him. He told me he didn't feel good, "hurts all over." [Great]
4. Did my usual bacon-bagel-and-diet-Coke at McDonald's run on the way to work, and even though I left late, I arrived about 1 minute before the library opened. On time.
5. Spent 3 hours dealing with continuations, everything from travel books to Master the GMAT to the latest criss-cross directory. I even went and found all the old editions so the person who deals with all this can just do everything at once.
6. Got a call on my cell from one of Beast's coworkers, with whom he was supposed to have lunch. Having not heard from him, and after 4 calls to the house phone (his phone was off, remember?), he finally answered. I called his coworker back and excused him.
7. Lunch. Taco Bell. Sat in the park to eat part of it.
8. Lists of things in processing for awhile, both with and without holds. Found 80% of them, left the rest for others to look for.
9. Cataloged the giant stack of things on my desk that have holds. Then did a few more that I came across. Then did a few large type books. I swear to God, we get more of those than we do both the sections of nonfiction I buy for. That is very depressing.
10. Discovered that the Library of Congress has released its new updated subject headings list so I messed with it for awhile and got it ready to check in our catalog.
11. Checked the old lists of subject headings.
12. Sat in the children's room for an hour trying to stay awake.
13. Came home, collected the garbage and dragged it out to the street, changed clothes and woke Beast up to see if I could get some food or water into him (nope). Did get some Tylenol in, after I took his temp and he checked his blood sugar.

I left out the gossip and commentary about marathons and 10K races and annoying and creepy patrons.
