Today was a bit of a rocky road. I had a good start, but indulged in a few smallish chocolate treats. Oh well, at least it wasn't a bag of Reese's PB Cups. And tomorrow is another day.
Dan flew to Charlottesville, leaving the house at 6 a.m.--he was hired to write 60-Second Novels at a big event there and will be back tomorrow afternoon.
I helped out at the elementary school library again, this time from 9:30 to 1. Caught glimpses of Punch and some of her pals, looking fresh-faced, a couple wearing red [one for Valentine's Day, one for Chinese New Year]. I checked in a lot of the books that the children returned and entered a lot of new donated books into the catalog system. Books about gems & crystals, Legos, dinosaurs, reptiles and other subjects passed through my hands--plus novels, including Marley: A Dog Like No Other.
Spent a far amount of money. Long, busy day. Must rest. Good night.
