Hello LJ.

I have struggled with both.

My email told me the Vice-President of the United States turned 60 yesterday, which is pleasant to note. Janelle's birthday is at the beginning of this month, too. ^_^

I woke up with trouble hearing out of my left ear which I found rather distressing.

My library books are due at the end of this week. I might be ( Read more... )

My older cat is watching me from her spot under the chair in an accusing way. I might as well decide I am not going to finish The Dust That Falls From Dreams.

Eyedrops exist. They are difficult to self-administer.

I need to go take a nap.

Also, Cora and I have not finished the femicide book I mentioned last post. Of the several things I have been reading it is the book I should be least concerned about though since I know I ordered a copy - Amazon alerted me it should arrive by next Friday.

Therefore, I have more than ample time with the ILL. I can keep that indefinitely as long as ( Read more... )

It's not just in the ancient Chinese culture, like I had assumed from what I had heard about it before.

And Cora couldn't stomach such a topic. She is playing outside in the sunshine.

There is a map and it has the province I was in only darkened a little.

I don't know what to make of it, but I am also not feeling well.

It is from a potential cold, but I am not going to self-diagnose since that is fishy and has the likelihood of causing more problems than solving anything. I have a sore throat, an earache and a headache but they all vanish when I think about them enough.

It is helpful to plot what I intend to do coming up soon in the next month. I think it will be ( Read more... )

So I just came back from the library with a large number of materials.

That large number = 15.

The books that were not taken were two inter-library loans - one is in English regarding the paucity of women in China & India so what that means and the other is in French & is about Cromwell.

I named my last cockatiel after him.

Now, true, I don't ( Read more... )

LJ says my friend entrospect has some sort of "dialogue award" as of today.  Also, I don't know if I messed up again with LJ's readily-changing ways to refer to other users. I decided to avoid mentioning them in the subjects of my entries and that seemed to get rid of the issue.

Also my friend ege_legko.

Is it normal for people to sit around and do nothing ( Read more... )

My mother had told me so much about how hard that project was for her.

Maybe I'll wait for another time. I am somewhat happy with my Hadrian's Wall in the days of the Romans book. The drawings are admirable, although sometimes I do enter a strange hypnotic state while looking at them. I have only vaguely heard about, like, the Picts and stuff, but ( Read more... )

As if staring at that library holdlist would make it go any faster!

I don't think that requesting fewer items would speed the processing pace at all because of the number of librarians processing these requests on the other end doesn't change. I am waiting on 4 items. Right now it says the book that the library's little book club is reading is "in ( Read more... )

Hello LJ!

Today I've been reading my library FAQ's. Like, they might hold your spot while you use the bathroom or something? I don't understand. In my library's FAQ, it says, "Freeze and unfreeze a hold

You can freeze and unfreeze holds from the Holds tab on My Bookshelf.

If you place a hold on an item, but you want to wait to pick it up, you can ( Read more... )
