Oh, the joys...
Aug. 16th, 2005 10:51 pmI definitely, emphatically have a cold. (In fact, if it hasn't moved out of my sinuses by tomorrow with all the pain that involves, I will upgrade that to sinus infection, and get myself down to the doctor's. It's not nearly as bad as yesterday, but that could just be that I smartened up and started taking the decongestants.) However.
troutkitty is feeling much better, which is Very Good and I've mostly stopped worrying and fussing over her.
I got to buy books today. Whee! As in go through a warehouse and fill up several shopping carts. They're all for a brand-squeaky-new school library. So far, I have most of the paperback fiction and some of the picture books. Still to go: hardcover fiction (to start with, it will be mostly paperback, but that's okay because they're all getting catalogued and interfiled, hc and pb alike and I will get more as I go), some more picture books, and almost all the non-fiction. Plus the reference section.
I have a copy of the province's recommended core collection (which may or may not be anything resembling recent), and a suggested list coming from one of the vendors, both of which I can tweak at will. What I may or may not have is shelving (basic shelving's been ordered but I don't know if it's shown up), or anything else in the library. A desk. A computer. (Both should show up at some point.) Bulletin boards. Posters. Pencils. Thurday, I will be able to go over to the school and get my key and take a look.
I have a slew of open tabs, including, yes, more SGA fic. But the cold medicine is starting to work and I am sleepy, and
queenzulu has escaped the temptation to stay up and read all night, at least not in any way she can blame on me. Heh.
