How I did it
How to spend Christmas in Syracuse
It took me
7 days
It made me
super happy

How I did it: We hung out with our super cool, dear friends, loafed, watched movies and SF tv, cooked, ate, and slept lots. S taught me how to knit again and I started knitting a lumpy scarf. Syracuse was kind of warm and wet, but who cares? I got to spend lots of time with my peeps and my sweetie. Read how I did it…

How to become a kick ass librarian
It took me
4 years
It made me
gleeful

How I did it: Before I even applied for library, I got a part time, low level job in an academic library, which confirmed for me that a) libraries are fun places to work and b) librarians are super cool people to work with. Then, I went to library school for my MLIS, one class at a time, 3 classes per year, while working full time in libraries. Read how I did it…

Periodically reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (read all 99 entries…)
somewhat better mood today 1 week ago

Today I am grateful for:

  • A happy, sunny walk with the dog. He did such a good job heeling, even though we really haven’t formally worked on that yet and was really responsive and happy. Had a nice chat with a neighbor.
  • Since we adopted this dog, and since I returned from my trip at the end of May, I have walked him at least once a day, every day, for 1-2 miles minimum. It doesn’t sound like much, but I can feel the difference. I no longer get winded at all and I feel myself walking faster.
  • Librarian, who is a true blue friend. Thanks for your note today. I’ll try out some of those strategies.
  • A somewhat clearer head today, with no panic attacks thus far.
  • Blue skies.
  • Pride month. Embracing diversity means challenging the very notion of monolithic, homogeneous normality. Happy Pride!

learn to manage my writing anxiety (read all 6 entries…)
hmpf 1 week ago

Still really struggling with this. My time off is rapidly passing and I really must now prepare for the beginning of the term. All I want to do is play online word games. I think I’m depressed – by which I mean, moreso than usual. I think I need to get out of the house and try working someplace else.

Duncan isn’t helping. All he wants to do is sleep in my lap on the couch :)

Wednesday 3 weeks ago

Today I am grateful for:

  • My snuggly, cuddly new dog. I love him.
  • Upcoming social engagements with friends. Being at home all the time isn’t good for me.
  • Fizzy water
  • A good trip to Maine, including a superior visit with my parents.
  • Cheese
