Thankful Sunday, July 12, 2020

I am thankful for the Delete button.

Well, it has finally happened. After all of these years, my little, obscure blog has finally gotten some disgusting robo comments. I am very thankful for the delete button so I don't have to see them one more time. If they show up again, I guess I will have to go to reviewing the comments before publishing them.

In other news, here's a quick note before I go to work.

Speaking of going to work, I am back in the building but only interacting with other coworkers. We are doing contactless pickups at the library at this point in time and phone service. Masks, cleaning, and social distancing are going well there, but I do get tired of the mask after an hour or two. I'm still a little stressed answering the phone because I was just starting to catch on, in my new position, to all that is involved with answering questions when I had a 4 month hiatus because of COVID-19. I was busy teleworking during that time with training and programming, but I didn't have to figure out the details of peoples accounts. At least I am very polite as I sometimes fumble through providing people with what they need.

And speaking of programming, I will be doing a virtual program for the library in a couple of weeks and that is occupying a lot of my time. I will be reading, doing experiments, and a craft. It's difficult to technically manage all of that with one fixed camera (my phone or Ipad mini)  and I seem to be trying something different every day. I'm getting closer, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. All of our programs are live for legal reasons. It would be easier if I could record it, but that is not the policy presently.

In the meantime back at home, they are almost done with all of the construction. And what's the most important part of that? The port-a-potty is gone. It was cleaned regularly, but with the heat, it didn't always smell the best.

And speaking of heat, we have gone over two weeks with temperatures over 90 and no rain. I am getting tired of it and so are the plants. I can tell you that I'm not ready to move to a hot, desert climate.

And speaking of plants, despite the heat and lack of water, we are getting some vegetables from our small garden. We have been enjoying lettuce, peas, several kinds of cruciferous vegetables.and two kinds of squash.

And speaking of food, I should go now and fix my lunch for today.

Until next time...
