Hell Froze Over

So yeah, I guess I should update. ::chuckles::

Down here in Texas, we are getting friggin’ steamrolled by this Polar Vortex. We should be coming out of it soon, but damn. It’s been a brutal week thus far.

Our heater stopped working right at the beginning, so that was a shitty 72 hours before we were able to get a tech out to “fix” it. And I say “fix” it, because it still isn’t working correctly. But it’s kind of working. We have electricity. We have water. And we aren’t currently under a boil notice. So that’s all great compared to the BULK of the rest of the state. So yes, I am DEEPLY grateful for these things.

The Library has been closed since Monday. But the City has decreed that the Library will be open tomorrow. Yeah, I’m taking a vacation day and not risking life, limb, and car for the crap pay. I have Friday off because I’m scheduled to work Saturday. Saturday is slated to be worlds better, so I’m hoping it won’t be awful. Plus, I need to go in because I have lots of photos and whatnot that I want to print out to put in my journal! ::laughs:: And I need to at least bring home the addresses for Rexie, the unofficial dino mascot for our Library, to write to her various library pen pals. If nothing else, I need to pick out what postcards I will be sending.

I’ve applied to two local libraries. But that was like a day or two before the State froze over, so I haven’t heard anything back. I’m hoping that is the reason why I haven’t heard anything and not because they don’t want me. I really, really, REALLY want to leave my current Library. I mean, I’ll miss my geesies a LOT, but the number of reasons to leave that Library keep on stacking up.

::goes back and reads her last entry to see what needs updating::

Van Van Oil It’s done and holy hell, I ADORE how it smells. It’s got so much pep and zing to it. Seriously awesome oil.

Allergy Thing I’m still shedding skin. I’ve decided it’s just my Snake Time. Because I’m sluffing off a LOT of dead skin. And this is with me using a sugar scrub in the showers AND slathering on lotion once I get out. ::shrugs:: It’s not as bad as it was a few weeks ago, but it’s still noticeable.

Backlogged Daily Photos My plan for this is to just make back-dated daily entries for each photo. Not sure when I’ll get to that, but I’ll work on it as I can.
