It is the end of the month and I have read basically zero of the books I’ve checked out and that means they will still be here when all those books on hold come in and now I am in hold jail. Also, it felt like negative degrees this morning so I’m considering putting myself in apartment jail, too.
And then I remember that this time last year I was languishing in a freezing cold apartment, barely ever leaving my bedroom or even my bed and never the actual house. So I’m doing okay.
But I still have a shit-ton of books checked out and need to read much faster because I might die without having read them all.

whoa. I get overwhelmed when I have like 5 books checked out so you are blowing my mind right now. Maybe you’ll have a snow day next week and catch up a little. 🙂
I know. It’s out of control. Hazard of the job (aka setting foot in a library 5 days/week). Also, I’m in a big system so I have to wait through a lot of long hold lists and then, inevitably, everything shows up at once…. when I’m already reading something else.
But yeah, I’m def. in hold jail.
