Allergies

Yesterday, I learned that I'm allergic to latex after spending hours over the weekend doing library work in latex gloves.  My hands are covered in raised, red bumps, and the skin feels dry and scaly.  I spoke with the drug-store pharmacist today, and he confirmed what I had already suspected.  Huh.  I've never had a problem before.  I wonder why now?

Reading with My Grandpa 2

Due to our schedules, my grandpa and I had to take two days off from our reading.  And when we were back on the phone together, it was very clear that he missed me. We talked for way longer than we have on our previous nights, which meant that I missed out on getting ice cream with the rest of my family (to be fair, they decided not to go without me, but I still felt kinda bad).  But, even so, we had a wonderful time.

The book is nearing its end.  We have about four more days of reading to go.  I'm going to suggest we continue on with a different book when we finish this one.

The First Day's Return

Day one back at the library.

Everything was perfect!  I got to see (most of) my work friends, and had a really great time.  It was a bit slow (no patrons in the building), but it was great to be back.  I guess this means I love my job, haha!

Back to the Old Grind

I go back to work at the library on Monday.  Not going to lie...I'm pretty nervous.  Ironically, I don't think I would have been half so nervous if I had been going to work all throughout this whole pandemic.  But, the fact that I've been off for seven weeks, and am NOW going back...that's got me really anxious.

I'll share updates when the big day arrives.
