Saturday I'm at the library
Dec. 17th, 2016 10:50 amThis is going to be another long day at work, unless things pick up some later on. Not much going on at the library yet this morning (only two of our regular patrons on the computers), and I really don't have any busy work to keep me busy...
Making the work day even worse, the cash register decided to quit working. And its frustrating because I know it must be something simple that I'm missing in replacing the tape and resetting it. I had Patti come over from Circ and see if she could figure it out. I called Jen to see if she knew anything, but it seems Cathy is the only one who has the knowledge and who has done this before and of course she isn't in this weekend. Oh well, thatjust means Circ gets to handle all the cash the next couple days til Monday....
After shopping several places yesterday, ended up at Target buying plain white (but nice siized large) coffee mugs for Hannah. Most everything else was kitchsy-cute with snarky sayings printed on them, but I just wasn't feeling that. Also got two little cute santa face mugs for the boys, and a gingerbread cookie mix and cookie cutters (so we can bake fresh cookies for santa)
Darn it. I should have brought my meds to be refilled at the pharmacy today; HAVE to remember to do it tomorrow before work (and give myself enough time to do so before getting to work on time), because I won't be in town then for the following vacation week of mine. (I get my meds filled in Decatur rather than Hutsville, it's usually more convenient for me.)
I've got a holiday dilemma; not quite a "gift of the magi" O'Henry muddle but still a situation..I was going to do my usual wasting time ditzing aorund on Ebay yesterday, but when I went to the website, B hadn't signed out of his Ebay account and what showed up on the page was a recent purchase of his. Which I am assuming is meant to be my holiday present! So, now I've spoiled the surprise for myself, and wondering if I should tell him I know or just pretend to be surprised when he gives it to me. It won't be hard to be happy about it---it's a signed Schairapelli brooch! Not the super expensive one I had my eye on, but a pretty one nonetheless, with watermelon stones, that I'll proudly wear. I think I have a couple signed Weiss pieces, but this is really my first haute designer piece! How cool is that? Don't I have a great husband?
So, Oliver sloth is finished. Which project to go onto now? EIther work a bit on Paisley or dive into pattern testing for my guy dolls? As I mentioned, I've got some vacation days coming up, and I really don't want to waste them.
And the day continues to go not quite right. Went to BK for lunch, ordered a veggie burger andd onion rings. Got a whopper with no meat, which I guess technically is veggie, as in lettuce, pickles and onions on a bun, but not what I was expecting. It's raining too.
Not even all that cold today, yet I'm sitting here freezing. I just can't stay warm.
