tarotgalI volunteered at the library and actually went at a normal person pace tonight. YAY! Even with the bending down parts. Bad part is my left leg started acting up. Boo. I kept passing a Cornelia Funke book I've read on one of the endcaps and as I was signing out, I noticed it on a list by the binders. Turns out some of the picklist had been ignored. So I got to do picklist with the new style labels for the first time. That was SUPER FUN! (Okay, I know most people wouldn't call it fun, but I'm being serious here; I was kind of thrilled). Plus there was a terrible, horrible thunderstorm that suddenly started outside and this meant I didn't have to go out in it yet. By the time I was done, it had died down. So great timing.
I walked outside and the sky was yellow! It was still raining out and I thought to myself. "I bet there's a rainbow somewhere..." And looked to the side and THERE IT WAS! SQUEE! I pulled out my camera and took a handful of photos. Then it started raining harder. I ran to my car, got my umbrella, and took another dozen photos. I'm thinking I might be titling my newest book "Hunting Rainbows" and I might be able to use one of the photos as cover art *G* I've been hoping to get a good photo of a rainbow for months now. SO EXCITED!
I stopped by Mom & Dad's to pick up a poster... which I think I left in my car... oops! I might be going out for it in a minute...
Then I went to the grocery store and sang and danced in the frozen foods section to MJ's "Man in the Mirror"
I got home, finally, and heated up Amy's fake meatloaf. I put on the very first episode of Gilmore Girls. I had no idea Jared was in it so early on! IS HE LIKE 10? OMG HE IS SO ADORABLE!!!
In other news, I just started a gratitude journal yesterday at the prompting of friends. It has been 2 days and 3 pages of things I'm happy about so far (several of which are highlighted above) and it's been a good experience. I consider myself a realist, but it's nice to focus more and acknowledge the things that make me happy in a more permanent, lasting way than I have before. I think that's good for me.
Also... rainbows and baby-J both in one day... OH! And not to mention John Barrowman's going deaf for a day video & interview were posted today, which was awesome to watch. And we got a new employee who started today and happens to be hard of hearing. So that was suspiciously coincidental timing.
The only bad thing is that it's 10:30 and I'm only just starting to sit down to do my work for the night... Ugh. That's the problem with putting in an extra hour at the library and then having to run errands around town after that. Bah. But totally worth it. It was a good night.
