literacy and healing

Today Ryan convinced me to walk to the library and postpone my nap. So, I was kind of out of it and not too excited for the first couple of blocks. I was just explaining something when all of a sudden I was sliding to my knees on a grate in the sidewalk. It was all very jarring and confusing and slightly embarrassing. We were at a pretty busy intersection near the hospital entrance. I wanted to cry but I don't really care to cry in public so I "walked it off". When we got to the library Ryan was trying his best to clean my blood splattered leg when a nice man from the maintenance department asked if I "needed some assistance?" I said no thanks, but he was determined to help us. He took us to the 4th floor and called in some back up to meet us in the offices. When we got up there I was pretty impressed by the library office. Our friendly helper transferred us to someone else and he was off after wishing us a good day. While helper #2 cleaned AND put a band aid on my knee someone else came by to make sure I had everything I needed. What a place! I felt well taken care of and it made me even more appreciative of our library. They really care. Take it from me and my torn up knee.

Also, helper #1 informed us that the Governor would be at The Ryerson Library on Saturday.
So I think the library should have a new motto. "The Library for literacy and healing". Has a nice ring don't ya think?

Here's the cut...I think it's going to bruise so it's going to look even more awesome.
