A day in a car

I can’t get my full certification in librarianship until I take one more college course, and since I don’t have a certificate, I can’t really get the on-going education credits that the State Library is requiring of all licensed librarians in the state. They’re called LEUs, and even Dad has some LEUs from attending workshops with Mom. I attended a workshop that was hosted at the Jasper Continue reading →

Hideous dreams

I have horrific dreams. I have dreams that seriously make me question my mental (in)stability. When I hear about other people’s dreams, I find myself wishing that I could have normal, safe, sane dreams like theirs; simple things like forgetting their milk money, being chased by wolves, being wholly unprepared for a test…I would love to have dreams that are so banal. No, I get Continue reading →

Friggin’ 2:30 in the morning

I have so many issues with sleep that I’ve decided to create a new post category just for rants about the topic. At the moment, it’s nearly 2:30 in the morning, and I’ve been conscious more or less for the better part of the last couple hours. I lay down to take a nap around 7:30, woke up around 9:30, woke up again around 11 something, and then I finally woke up around 12:30 and Continue reading →

Book 2 Notebook 2

I’ve just started in on the second notebook for Book 2. Woo! Mind you, these notebooks aren’t very large, probably about 5″x7″ or so, and I started the first notebook back in March of 2007, so this is a long time in coming. Still, it’s exciting to know that Book 2 is finally really getting underway. I had been having so many problems with the story simply dragging its feet, and now Continue reading →

Fountain pens

I am saddened. I have only one black ink cartridge refill left, so after the one that is currently in my fountain pen runs out, I’ll have only the one to replace it. It’s so sad. I bought three fountain pens while I was in France: a sky and cadet blue one with a green band on the cap (whose clip I’ve already long since broken), and a pair of black pens with blue and red trim to tell them apart. Continue reading →

Avamvwoiehgal

No, the title doesn’t say anything; it’s merely a two-handed slamming of random keys that happens to look rather like it might mean something. I suppose even subconsciously, I can’t help but smack vowels even when making an attempt at meaninglessness. I just couldn’t think of anything better to type as the title. Honestly, lately, I haven’t been able to think of much to even Continue reading →

Distracted

Wow, has it really been all that long since I last posted? Where has the time gone? Just the other day (uh, and now that I type that I realize it was the second of this month), I was bemoaning the fact that it was September already and that August had disappeared so quickly that I barely had time to register that it was even August in the first place. Now it’s September, and the month is Continue reading →
