    There are still people coming into public libraries arguing about why they need to wear a mask. Some old guy with a beard tried to tell me he didn’t need to wear one because there was no one near him. He is the reason why I was not able to work full time last week…

    But it’s only while my son’s classroom is in quarantine. Apparently there was a close contact last week. So his whole class is remote this week. So far, it’s been much better than last year. Maybe it’s because he knows it’s just temporary… I get to work on Storyline. I’m super excited by this project.…

    Today I am writing about burnout. I read a great book about this last year and it offered some strategies for me for the past year. I’ve been reading much about labor shortages and people switching careers lately. Prior to the pandemic, I thought I would be content to be a children’s librarian for many…

    It’s that time of the year when the veils are thin between the Otherworlds and ours. Expect strange synchronicities, sudden coincidences, or unusual happenings. Maybe breakthrough communications? I’m not a religious person. I am a spiritual person. If I had to name my spirituality, it would be Celtic Pagan Star Wars.

    So there’s this moment of time At the end of the night Where the cat sits on my chest And purrs Her deep, rumbly purrs And flicks her sleek, smooth tail Against my arm. My eyes close And I feel so calm And so at peace. That’s what I’m missing from my day. That peace.…

    It’s been a long week that, thankfully, kept improving after Monday. It’s been a week of lots of deep breathing. It’s been a week of change. Both externally and internally. After my supervisor had a one on one meeting with my library’s director, I was assured that I wouldn’t have to worry about working on…

    This morning I had cooperation from my child! It makes all the difference in the world. We only left the house 5 minutes behind schedule. And we found three lost items in the lost and found at my son’s remote learning site – jacket, hat, and (most importantly) charger for the laptop! On the way…
