New Math
Zyrtec + no caffeine = sleep dips
I feel like someone replaced my brain with a wool blanket. Ugh. I don’t know what it is, but my allergies have been bad the last couple of days. It seems to have coincided with the start of the Indiana Rainy Season, so I’m guessing leaf mold is the culprit.
And a completely unrelated photo.

And a funny story break.
LIT (the library’s IT department) sent out a mass email telling us to be careful opening attachments, even if we know the person who apparently sent them. Anyone want to guess how this better-late-than-never advice was distributed? Yep, as an attachment. Epic fail, LIT!
Staff Meeting Doodle

This must have been the week for meetings. First, it was yearly evaluations (oh noes!), then the monthly tech services meeting, then today, our little unit meeting. The main topic of discussion in the last two meetings (well, the most interesting to me personally) was the new handling for series statements. Exciting, huh?
Angry Flower
This is what greeted me when I got home yesterday. “You are dead to me!” she said. Obviously, I slept with one eye open last night.
She had to go back to the vet, yet again, because over the weekend she chewed a hole in her foot. She’d been doing so well, too. Thankfully, it’s a fungal infection, not allergies, so we were sent home with antifungal/antiseptic wipes, hydrocortisone spray, and another round of antibiotics (as her previous staph infection was much better, but not 100% healed).
She spent yesterday in the Cone of Shame and is in it again today. Harriet thinks it is a mean, mean trick to play on a poor wee doggie.
Bananas
I think I’m going to have to make banana bread today.
Misty Morning
I had to run a couple of errands this morning. When I left, the sun was just coming up, along with the rising mist.

Blue
This is the first time in my lifetime that Indiana has gone blue. I’m very proud of my state and my country right now.
Waiting
I’m about to go park myself in front of the TeeVee with some leftover Halloween candy, to watch election returns. I have a feeling I’m going to wish I’d asked for tomorrow off, because I’m going to be up way past my bedtime. I’m too excited to sleep, though, so what the hell?
In other news, I haven’t had caffeine in over a week. It’s kind of mind boggling.
That is all. As you were, comrades!
Twinkle Twinkle
I noticed last week that people were starting to put up holiday lights. I remember when I used to think it was ridiculous to launch into Christmas decorating right after Thanksgiving. And then, it began to happen before Thanksgiving. Now, it’s starting before Halloween.
Stop! The! Insanity!
Also, I wish someone would tell the Bumpasses to put away their horribly tacky–and not in a fun, kitsch kinda way–scarecrow. It’s in the common hallway, on the way to the laundry room, and it bugs the hell out of me. We’re not supposed to leave crap in the hallway, and that scarecrow definitely qualifies as crap.
If it’s still there the next time I do laundry, I’ll try to get a photo of it. It’s, um, special. The best part is that it’s planted in a large flower pot.
