Wednesday, Library day in the life

Day three in the “Library day in the life” event

Today was a “slow motion” day, due to the extreme heat here in the Yukon (33C today!) and that I was feeling a bit mentally drained after yesterday’s retreat.  That said, work was still accomplished today:

• worked on notes to organize and finalize ideas and decisions from yesterday’s retreat … only one section left to write!
• was contacted by potential library partner (another government library), which lead to some discussion in my library about how to proceed
• proceeded by attempting to schedule a meeting within the next week with partner
• miscellaneous “paperwork” … it feels like paperwork is never done
• followed up on some journal subscription issues
• and, yes, walked to work, back home for lunch, back to work, then back home at the end of the day
• at home I watered my very dry garden (California poppies and wild strawberries are doing very well in this heat!), watched birds in my backyard (mostly of finches but some robins and chickadees too  … who were drinking from and bathing in the fountain), and generally relaxed.
