Slice of Life Day 1: Cupcakes
And here we go! It’s Slice of Life Day 1 and I’m talking cupcakes. The long title of my post is: They always look prettier and taste better when you don’t make them yourself or how I spent my Saturday! I love to cook! You may have seen me sharing…

Slice of Life: Grateful for “My People”
Without going into many details (and I hate vague posting), work has been challenging in the face of COVID-19. First, most librarians (me included) choose this career to make a difference in our community. Our building has been closed for two months now and honestly, I’m not sure when we’ll…

Slice of Life Day 31: So Much More Difficult
This year’s Slice of Life Challenge took me a lot more effort than last year’s challenge. I think partly because I shared a lot of great stories last year, but also because of everything that’s going on this year. What with working from home, managing staff in turbulent times, the…

Slice of Life Day 30: Kitchen Thoughts

Slice of Life Day 28: Clean House or Weekend Plans
A number of people I’ve spoken with or have seen on social media are doing spring cleaning projects during the coronavirus. Me? I feel like I’m working overtime to keep everything up and running. And that’s even though the library isn’t even open right now! Which means, now that’s it’s…

Slice of Life Day 27: Reading Rogue
Even as busy as it’s been over the past few days I finally finished a book! This is a huge accomplishment because the past few weeks have been so crazy and honestly the last thing I want to do at night is to open a book. But finally, I finished…

Slice of Life Day 26: Work from Home
Yesterday was my first official work from home day. I’ll tell you, I feel a little more relaxed knowing that we’re at least at this point for two weeks now. The stress of the unknown every day was getting to me for sure. Never knowing what the next press conference…

Slice of Life Day 25: New Roommate
Yep, that’s right, I’ve got a new roommate! And I bet you’ll never guess who/what it is! This is Tera, the library’s red-earred slider. He’s lived at the library for about ten years and absolutely loves people! We’ve been closed to the public since March 13th, but have had staff…
