Good Morning

Yes, I was exhausted. I fell asleep with the lights on after feeding the hordes. (Zara likes it if I hang around when she's eating.) I think that I got 10 hours of sleep?

This morning, I've been sending e-mails about interviews for the Library Director position. I e-mailed my boss, telling her that I'll need to tell the part-timers that she's leaving because we're going to set up a "meet and greet" with the staff members. She sent an e-mail to two staff members, and asked me to call the one for whom we don't have an e-mail address.

Mimi thinks that a lap is incomplete without a cat :) Harlee is meowing.

Testing, Testing....

Short nap, and about to throw myself together an run errands. I've finally remembered to test offsite access to our library's eBooks, only to get a time-out error. Bother. It's always something, although I suppose that's job security.

Falling Apart

I had a mild relapse of my mental illness yesterday. Maybe it was because of the lack of sleep. I've been on pins and needles wondering if it would get worse, but I seem to be okay today. Just what I didn't need with my presentation on Sunday.

While I was out, I tripped and fell. I wish that I knew why I keep tripping and falling.

The laundry room in the building is locked "for repairs". There's a note that said that it will open tomorrow morning. I hope so because I really need to do laundry. I suppose that I could go to the laundromat, but it's more expensive.

I have a headache, so I took some Tylenol and made myself my almost free meal: scrambled eggs with cheddar and toast with butter and raspberry jam. I managed to knock the bowl over in which I mixed the eggs, and one egg escaped down the drain. With a dozen eggs at $0.35, I can afford it. I also got raspberry jam on my beige jeans, but I think that it will come out.

I'm feeling slightly cranky, but need to snap myself out of it.

Added: Forgot to mention that a muscle in my back was threatening to pull out.

Mom Report

The MRI showed that Mom's sciatic nerve is inflamed. They're going to give her a shot of steroids. I hope that it helps. However, she's been managing to do lots of gardening and enjoying her garden.

I'm having a case of the blahs. I think that I'm going to feed the girls, get ready for bed, and read for a while. It would be better if I get to bed early and get up earlier tomorrow because on Sunday, I'll need to get up before dawn to catch the 7 AM train. I can't believe that I agreed to do that, but I plan on sleeping the way up to Chicago.

Added: Forgot to mention that Mom wants to go to Cahokia Mounds. Don't know why the site's Web site is down though.
