All too much
Life's been intense this past week with it all kind of hitting me when I was taking the shuttle bus for the T on my way to volunteer at the BPL booksale and there were so many people. I don't remember the last time I felt that crowded on the T and I really didn't like it. The booksale wasn't as crowded and I actually took a break to eat before which helped. I like the Friends organization but this time made me aware of some things they need help with like more tech help, the ipads they normally use were locked and no one could unlock them so no card sales. That definitely left money on the table and the core of the organization is older, I think I'm the youngest one. Maybe at some point I'll have the energy to help them more but not this weekend.
Good tiring thing was on Thursday, I saw my brother and his family for a wonderful dinner after my work. They first went to the wrong library but we met up and had pizza and ice cream and I think the most amazing part was how easy it all was. There was no sense of wow its been years since we've seen each other in person and the boys are so grown up. It was more a lovely visit that I wish was longer but it involved talking about Star Wars, a fun bonus. My parents had shown the two little boys A New Hope so they wanted to know the story and my brother and his wife needed reminders of what happened when in the whole timeline. They also really loved Rogue One which made me happy.
My shark week is hitting me in odd ways which isn't fun but I'm having some quiet days like Friday hanging out with a friend and today has been lazy. I'm still enjoying watching the Olympics, my favorite part is all the first time medalers or the first time for their country, it feels like a nice change. Also it seems like there's a lot more kindness among the athletes or maybe that its more visible since they missed each other too.
Next week, I'm working every day of the week, not all full days but even the half days are five hours, which should be good just long at points. I meant to do my laundry today but didn't have the energy though did accomplish some errands. Also there's a fic I'm thinking about expanding and revisiting. I feel like my writing is kind of there but needs a push.
