Life stuff
I think I need to get into the habit of writing every week as things happen and I go, I should write about that and then I don't. And I like seeing what's going on with other people's lives and also for me its helpful to go, I want to do this and writing is a way to go, should do this.
Nice big things, my parents visited last weekend and we went to the MFA and saw a fascinating Dali exhibit. I had no idea how much he was influenced by the history of art. Also we saw a beautiful small exhibit of Indigenous prints and had what felt like one floor of the museum to ourselves. The bottom of the tower where I think the Korea exhibit was and the new one is going to be Georgia O'Keoffe and someone else. Then walked through this Dress Up exhibit and one about Japan and radio, interesting to see how Art Deco and all were interpreted. Then there was some confusion as we kind of lost track of each other before getting lost in the gorgeous museum shop. I didn't buy anything but was tempted by those miniature set ups.
I'm setting up my new desk and planted an amaryllis bulb that I've had for about a year and its started growing. But I want more things, and its hard to pick which of my little things to bring to work. I might bring Yrael in his blue pot. Recently I did two little lego kits, which were so satisfying; an A-wing with Captain Rex and an X-wing. They reminded me that I have a U-wing model that I've had for years and should put that together. My desk is in a corner of the basement so I have privacy after not having it which is nice. And then when I'm on the Reference Desk, I'm right near the main entrance. Also loving setting up book displays and looking into planning programs and thinking about adding more diversity to things. Lots to learn.
I've also been thinking about decorating my apartment more now that I can actually put holes in the walls. Not the biggest fan sometimes of my super, there's a beeping from the fire alarm panel and when contacted he went, I'll talk to an electrician. And it was like okay, yes, not as bad as it could be but a consistent beeping over an entire weekend isn't good. Its quiet enough, I thought it was a truck backing up and only realized what it was when I went out and passed the panel.
Good job news, end of the day on Friday, there was a union meeting as they were working on a new contract and did great stuff. My timing for going full time actually has worked out really well as I get the benefit, which balances out some annoying things when I started.
I've also got into the Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell read through which makes me so happy. This book has been a contast for me since I left for New Zealand, which I'm now realizing was right when it came out. This is one of those books I imprinted on as faeries, historical fiction and magic just out of view. I'm on my third copy of the book, first one was left in NZ, second I think gave away after a move, not sure. Current copy I found at a used booksale and then its autographed and make me happy.
In terms of things I want to do, more decorating, sorting papers shred, figure out my dresser and sort clothing so I can buy fun things and figure out seeing shows and going to Renn Faire, just more doing things. Next weekend will be busy as I have an event but I feel hopeful.
