Not just the article itself but the comments. Our smaller world of libraries just being a slice of the larger one, after all.

Last Spring a young man was outside the building, still on our property, when 2 other men started beating him up. They got in a few hits before my security officer came close and broke it up. Asking the first young man why he didn’t fight back, he replied “because I can’t go a whole year without the library.” The word is out there - the kids all know the rules here. If you want to use these great computers and hang out in this nice building, you need to act a certain way. Period.

Good idea for cats!

Clever Uses: Create a Cat Haven from Ikea Shelves.

By using the wall itself as the primary support for the cat's climbing space, you avoid the big footprint of a commercial climbing tree.

Agapi Stassinopoulos: Confidence and How to Get Some with a Little Help from the Gods

I think I found a new favorite person to read. At least the couple posts I have red this am are useful. This one is for MILE

Agapi Stassinopoulos: Confidence and How to Get Some with a Little Help from the Gods. If you are waiting to do things perfectly, forget it. Confidence has nothing to do with perfection. It has to do with a quality of deep self-acceptance that leads us to do things in a masterful way, as it allows us to speak our mind and our hearts.

sunday

Laundry, cleaning, armoring and a long walk. Those are the things of my day today. Making a bean and ham soup right now for later. I also have just finished a page-turner mystery and am heading into a creativity book "The 12 secrets of highly creative women" mostly for the presentation in late April but it has caught my attention.

Heard this woman sing this song at gulf wars, this and several other. Delphina sent me the link and I'm not the only one who got choked up over it. It is from her 2001 album. Very pretty.P>

wellness chart

I just set up a google doc to chart my workouts, my vitamin taking, eating properly and not sure if I need anything else. I can add as I need. Not making it public right yet but it's all about motivating myself. Edwin mentioned this week that it is hard to self-motivate which is why people hire trainers. I need one that yells at me. I read that some of us have different workout styles and I suspect I am one that would do best in a group situation with the social aspect of motivation going on there. But I hate competitive people who boast so it would have to be the right group. I'm all for 'yeah, we are doing this' but hate people having to detail their own successes. Get over yourself, dude. You do what you can, I'll do what I can, we meet to share this common 'thing' together, not to be an admiring fan club for you or me or even our glorious leader. Sheesh.

Saturday starts

I slept in until 7:30, even though the kitty-alarm clock went off at 5 and then every so often that. I turned tables on them and woke them all up and chased them around at 7:30, lol, serves me well to be so amused. Got my workout in. Determined to do the walk again tomorrow; I've a theory that this week of babying the hip hasn't really helped it. I'm taking the chondroitin and vitamins and just rested it, avoiding exercise outside of mild stretching. Still pretty stiff. So today, full stretching and then mild walking for 20 minutes at a higher incline. Lots of good information to support this.

Lunch with friends at noon and maybe meeting up with other friends after that. Oh heck - I'm happy. This is a good thing, lol. Russel is snoring and everytime he does so, his whiskers jerk - not bothering Boo, who is sharing that corner of the couch. Whole couch there and they choose to snuggle.

Couple of Anplica's pics

she uploaded over her lunch. I'm running a report and making hay while I can.

 

I'm the short one.

Got in about 10:30. Took a last vacation day to relax and download pics and tell stories. Talking to Van now about it, lol, he comes first.
