PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Ironic Commentary

What is the proper attire for having a "break-up" lunch? I'm pretty sure it wasn't this outfit.


Okay. It was Halloween mind you, and the t-shirt was under my cardigan and scarf. I took off the half-glasses and let my hair down out of the bun, but I knew that t-shirt was there under the surface.

For long-time readers, Yes. This means I broke up with the gym. It's been a good run at this particular little library, but it is time to announce that I'll be stepping down at the end of the semester so I can do other things. Like "hook," blog, sleep-in on Saturdays, and travel. You know? Have a life or something that resembles it. Why should the Shushing Librarian have all the fun?

I'll still technically be a librarian (that's why I paid so much in grad. school loans), just not a "practicing" one for a bit. I'll still use this blog to "shhhh" you lot when you get unruly and school you in proper shelving techniques.

Now, stop reading this and go out and use your library card!
