Heigh-ho! It's another beautiful Thursday morning... actually it's gray and cloudy, but I love gray and cloudy weather, and also, I work the night shift so I got to wake up naturally (at 7 am on the dot! As usual!) Bliss!
I keep thinking I'll update this blog with other stuff during the week, and I always forget, but that's ok. If it turns into just a gratitude blog instead of being about books, or what have you, that's alright! A library has a varied set of contents, doesn't it.
This week has been a bit of a wild one. I went to something yesterday and was thinking, Man, has only a week passed? Not two? The change that I felt between yesterday, and last week Wednesday, was incredible! Sometimes days feel like two days, but in a good way. I'm feeling like a new forming person, and I'm not entirely sure why, but I embrace it.
Let's talk turkey...
♥ Wicked deals on craigslist. I bought some tables on craigslist, for $5 each! And they are perfect size and shape for what I was wanting. And I didn't get lured into a creepy basement and chopped into bite-sized pieces! VIVA!!
♥ Perfect knitting. I'm making a knitting project right now, and I modified the project into one giant round because I didn't feel like making panels and sewing them together, and I also added an extra panel because it made for 7, a lucky number, and it turns out that one skein of yarn makes EXACTLY two workings of the pattern. It's precision at its finest. I also picked up some...
♥ New library books! One is about knitting rugs and they look SO GOOD, I'm going to take pictures of the instructions and make myself some badass rugs! Oh man what a cool idea!
♥ Newly activated library card! Did you know that often times neighboring county systems will allow you to link your library card to the adjacent library system, using computers and witchcraft? My library card now works in THREE different counties, and I can return books in any county, and it's pure magic! So many books available to me!! It's awesome because the county where I live is really... white. And not especially diverse in any other area, either. So the books on offer are of a certain type -- not a bad thing, but not a great thing either. I understand, you know, budgets and stuff. But after years of visiting the same libraries, it's time to move on.
♥ New old books. I found an early book written by my favorite romance novelist. Soon I'll have read everything she's written... I like reading things in semi-reverse order if there is no chronology involved, because you can see how themes or conventions in later books were in the developing stages in a person's earlier works. Also, book I haven't read yet! New book!
♥ Relaxing. I was able to relax once this week. It was nice. I also ate a lot of fries from places I'd never been to before, and that made me very happy indeed. It was nice to let go a little bit and not feel anxious about it.
That's all for me, friends! Come back to yourself if you left the building, give yourself a hug, and remember the things that give you joy.
Byeeeeee!
