Seems I’ll do most anything except clean….
Tried to sleep in today but when I finally climbed out of bed it was only 6:30 AM!
I have been reasonably productive though:
Got and read newspaper while having coffee and cookies.
Checked email and aggregator. (Multiple times throughout the day.)
Had breakfast.
Finished the post about removing subject headings from the catalog and professional moral minimalism.
Did a load of laundry.
Added my friend Em’s blog to my aggregator (Sorry, won’t share without her permission).
Worked at revising my résumé (want to have it checked at ALA).
Ate lunch.
Looked around Progressive Librarians Guild site and printed out membership application (again). Filled it out. Need to mail it.
Did some straightening up and cleaning (but not near enough).
Ate again.
Took a nap (tried anyway).
Talked to Mom when she called.
Returned books to the library.
Went grocery shopping.
Ate, again.
Read a Stivers article.
Worked on résumé some more.
Probably forgot a half dozen other things. And, yes, I really do eat that often. It sucks! I love food; I just hate eating all the time. I’ll probably have to eat again before bed. I must consume over 4000 calories a day and I still weigh no more than a buck and a quarter. Goddamn metabolism! And that crap about it slowing down after 40. Hah! I think mine’s freakin’ speeding up.
Looking forward to a get-together at Em and her husband’s place tomorrow evening. Hope the weather holds, or else the rain comes and goes beforehand. May go to a Memorial Day celebration here in town at 2 PM. I’m afraid I’ll get all weepy-eyed in public, but then, so what?
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and that you stop and consider for a moment or two what it is all about. So much pain and sacrifice by so many before us has gone into who and what we are as a nation. Tomorrow let us remember that. And starting Tuesday, or before, let us begin to reframe and remake this country into something that honors those sacrifices on a daily and continuing basis.
