What to Write

Hello,

Some days I do wonder what to write. And you thought it just flows. I am home today even though I usually work on Tuesday. Yesterday at our staff meeting I learned that I was to have next Tuesday off as I am working on the following Saturday. It was a problem because there will be a night story time and I would usually watch the desk while my co-worker tells the story. Because snow was predicted for today I volunteered to switch my Tuesday off and sit at the check out desk. Wasn’t I generous?

Now that the snow is almost over I think it would have been fine to drive to work, but one never knows. This morning when Leroy left, he shoveled off about four inches of snow by the garage.

I shoveled a path so I could use the sidewalk allowing me to make my way to the polling place where I was the lonely voter on the casino issue. Perhaps at other times there were more people. I do not like to track the sidewalk because it is easier to shovel before the steps are on it. It was fairly deep, but the temperature was good and the wind was down making it a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the mile walk to the polls. The only problem, but not really a problem for my waterproof boots, was the deep pools at some of the intersections. Luckily no cars drove by at the moment. The splash could have been uncomfortable.

It was supposed to start snowing last night at 6:00. I was so happy to get home at 8:30 and not yet see a flake of snow in the air. Soon there will be no snow and I might morn its passing, but not on my drives to and from work.

Last night someone brought in eight or more large paper bags full of books. I continue to be astonished at the amount of books people have in their homes. I have long been a believer in using the library. Partly it is because I am too cheap to buy many books and partly because I seldom re-read a book. There are too many books waiting for my attention. I am now reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Proof of heaven by Eben Alexander, MD. Two books are sitting in my book basket waiting for me to get to them. I never like to be without a possibility of a good read so I tend to keep extras around. Perhaps that is silly since I go to the library three days a week and would not be bereft for long.
