So much for this thing on a stick again

It's been a heck of a couple of months. I registered for More Things as I really wanted to get more technically and interntly (is that a word?) adept. Didn't happen. Due to budget cuts, my library system is cutting hours, and as a result, I spent a whole lot of the last couple of months working on schedules, and dealing with endless details on what needs to happen before and what will happen after the hours change. And of course it's been a little stressful. I can't even read lately--if it's a book that requires any type of thinking on my part, forget it. No concentration whatsoever. You know those cheesy little romances? Well, they have even been a struggle lately. It's the pits. And of course, in a little over a month, summer will be here, along with all the little darlings and their parents coming in to the library and keeping us busier than busy. And who knows? The new schedule has cut hours, which may make our "busy" into something out of a nightmare. I'm having trouble staying positive on this one.

But in the words of someone that should be famous if they aren't, "This too shall become a memory."


A few weeks ago (or probably longer, who knows?), I read THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Shaffer. It's an epistolary novel (I love that phrase and I love that style of book) and so well done. I felt I knew the characters by the time it ended. I've heard the book on cd is well done, also. I highly recommend it!
