As exciting as a lump on a log.
Why, oh why did I volunteer to work today? Holidays at an academic library are like working on the moon. It's quiet and dull and lonely. I would so much rather be sleeping.
We got about 10 inches of snow out of Friday's big storm. I had no trouble getting home, much to my relief. When I got off the bus, there was a small herd of little kids rounding up ammo and choosing sides for a snowball fight. It was terribly cute, even when the snowballs starting thumping the sides of the house. I was tempted to go out and join them, but it was entirely too warm and comfortable on the couch under a blanket with a mug of tea.
I trekked through the snow to Simmons to do research for a paper on Saturday, while Barry went to the mall to play. I had no money, and so would have been way too depressed looking at things I wanted to buy but couldn't. And I needed to go to the library, anyway.
Sunday I grocery shopped and scrubbed the tub and the toilet, because that's the glamorous life I lead. My big brother's coming to visit in a couple of days, so I figured I might need a couple of weeks to deal with the toxic bathroom. Housekeeping's not my strong suit. (You hush, Mom!)
So, I had a dull but somewhat productive week. I'm sitting here at work watching a guy walk out the exit door, then turn around and walk in the entrance, over and over. He's making me a bit dizzy. I have nothing at all interesting to say. Sorry.
