A Bibliophile Sanctuary

Books, coffee, and cats; what more do you need? A library is a bibliophile's sanctuary. One of the perks of being a library assistant is that I am surrounded by books everyday.  I tried to capture this peacefulness with A Bibliophile Sanctuary treasury on Etsy.

Thank you to all of the shops for the inspiration.

Slowing Down

I have officially transfered, and I am working parttime. Although I am not on the road as much as before, I feel just as busy. I am finishing things I have put off (like my thank you cards) and I am slowly organizing the house. I cannot afford to drive my car much for the next six months, so by default my life will have to slow down.

Here are a few things keeping me busy:

1. Saturday marked our six month anniversary. Matt and I watched Arsenal beat Aston Villa while we ate breakfast at Los Tres Amigos. They have the best coffee!

After breakfast I fell asleep on the couch. Then Matt took a nap. Afterwards we ate a late dinner at Giglio's.

Yes, we're an old, married couple.

2. As I have mentioned it has be unseasonably warm in Michigan. On Sunday Matt and I met family at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids.

For some reason the only picture I took was of the flamingos.

Now we want to go to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, but we're going to have to wait for favorable weather.

3. I am almost done knitting a mystery project.

Stay tuned for details.

I am still adjusting to parttime. My supervisor called to ask if I could work tonight. I was confused until I remembered I can pick up shifts now.

I could get used to this.

Sock Rebellion

I have had a long summer. Because I work retail, I do not have a set schedule. We have been short-handed, and I have worked odd hours and eight day stretches. I need a vacation.

Luckily, my vacation starts Thursday at 6:30 pm. In order to prepare myself (and keep my sanity), I have staged a peaceful protest.

For the past week, I have not worn socks to work. It brings me a strange sense of calm.

I'm such a rebel.
