2012 . . . So Far

So Far, 2012 has been a pretty good year, for me at least . . . got a different car so my mom and dad would have a better car to drive--they have my other car and I am driving the newer car.  Went back to full-time status at work, but it is going to take awhile to catch back up after being part-time for better than two years--at least I had a job, I just made cuts in my expenses where I could, there are certain expenses that could not be cut--car payments, insurance, and gas--those that have jobs, thank goodness, let's hope more people get back to work.  The economy is slowly and I mean slowly picking back up, but we have a long way to go. Things are slowly getting back on track for me and my family--let's hope it continues. 

We just took our one black cat to the vet--he has a clean bill of health after about a year and a half of touch and go with him--we almost lost him twice, but thank goodness to our vet and a good group of vets at the University of Michigan's Veterinarian hospital in Lansing thank you to all of them and our vet in Adrian, MI for helping us get him back on track on he is back to his old self.  The other four we have along with him are doing well and are healthy--we are so blessed to have them in our lives never a dull moment with five cats that is for sure. 

Looking forward to my trip to NYC in June to the Book Expo of America.  First time in NYC for both my cousin, Heather and I.  Hopefully before the trip to NYC, I have my Amazon Kindle Fire bought--I have seen two of them up close and I really like the Kindle Fire and will be getting one for myself.  Keep my fingers crossed I get it before I go to NYC in June--have to wait and see.

 The last two weeks have been very rough, the Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director that worked with me at Wauseon Public Library passed away after a battle with bone cancer, besides being my boss when the Library Director was gone, she was also a friend and I will miss her dearly she was so much fun to work with, she could always make you laugh, she was a wonderful person I feel so blessed that I got to work with her the last six years--now the library is looking for a part-time Fiscal Officer. With the passing of our Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director, another change was made, the board eliminated the Assistant Director Position and those duties were transferred to me under my new Job Title that I was given in October of 2022 as Head Librarian, with the added duties my pay was increased--yes I am pleased with the pay increase (my pay was increased once I accepted the Head Librarian Position), but the circumstances for the added duties and pay increase came at the loss of losing our Fi...

The Holidays Are Upon Us

Thanksgiving 2012 has been here and gone already as the Christmas Season Approaches . . . a time to reflect. Our Thanksgiving Celebration was pretty good . . . the turkey was delicious, nice to spend time with family.  My brother took our parents, grandmother, and I to "A Christmas Carol" on Saturday, December 1 at the Valentine Theater in Toledo, Ohio--it was awesome! The Valentine Theater is beautiful on the inside--we had box seats and were very close to the stage.  I could see that again.  He also treated us to a wonderful dinner at Carrabba's in Maumee--the food was delicious and the service was excellent--I would go back there again to eat. I got my Christmas Shopping done early this year.  My mom surprised me by purchasing a new digital camera for me--she gave it to me early so I would have it to use now.  I am getting it learned, took a few pictures of our Christmas Decorations at home and put them on my Facebook page, the pictures turned out really ...

I am just another year older, and yes another year wiser--Next Year is the big 40 for me and my Cousin Heather--Not planning any big shindig or anything like that--it will just be another day for me and I will enter another decade--Gosh has time flew the coop. I am still a librarian--Gatekeeper of knowledge and next year will start my 9th year at the Public Library I am employed--no big celebration there either--it is hard to believe that I have been working at the public library for almost a decade--again time has flew by and I enjoy working there and working with the people I work with--I could not ask for a better group of Colleagues to work with--makes the days go by fast as well as our interactions with the patrons that come into the library and utilize our services. Alas another birthday has gone by and it was a good birthday!
