It's sort of like when you're a kid and you see your teacher outside of school, only you're grown now and it shouldn't be weird.

Patrons in the Wild
Please note that the title of this post is IN the wild, not GONE wild. That’s a totally different topic. If you’re just tuning in and are unfamiliar with my lore, I live in a small town…

Ditching work an hour early tonight.
It's a rare treat for my coworkers to be rid of me, even for a little while.

The neighbors across the street came over and raked the leaves in the front yard for us. My dad used to clear their driveway and sidewalks in the winter and they saw this as the perfect repayment for that since he can't yard work like he used to.

I didn't sleep last night (thanks beefing raccoons, scared cats, and perimenopause). Worked my shift, which included covering a program for someone at the last minute, and then came home to do three more hours of library work.
I'm tired and I want a drink.

Hey, it's your Great Aunt Kiki, out in the yard at nearly midnight scolding two raccoons for screaming at each other.
I really need to invest in the appropriate great auntie nightdress for such occasions for the full authentic eccentric aesthetic.

I finally got my Covid and flu vax today. I prefer to get it earlier in the season, but it seemed like if I wasn't busy, I was procrastinating because I was tired from being busy. Finally got the schedule to align.

I want to assure you all that I, too, saw the aurora borealis. I will not be sharing the photographic evidence, though, because I still haven't fixed the cracked lens protector on my phone's camera.
It causes a weird glare. I don't want anyone thinking the aurora borealis is haunted.

Due to the fact that it's currently 34 degrees and the HVAC project at the library has left us without heat (we've been getting by on space heaters), the library is closed today.
I am not complaining.

The power has been out since quarter til six this morning, a rude awakening for a fan sleeper.
When will it come back on? Who knows. More dots keep appearing on the outage map.

I've got my adult local history true crime program on Saturday and the logistics are so jacked because of the HVAC project that I get to shove 30 people into the room we usually have story time and kids programs in.
At least there will be donuts.

I had the absolute pleasure to work on this release for Celluloid Dreams, contributing a video essay about the pure mystery of this near-lost giallo gem. Make sure not to miss out, it's incredibly worth seeking out (and has THE most memorable musical ditty!)

My sister needs help.
She and her family have 30 days to move because the landlord wants the house back.
It's not likely they can find a place that will allow 4 small dogs and 4 cats.
She needs help rehoming them so they won't go to the shelter.
Anyone in the Denton, TX area that can help?

We're in the process of getting our HVAC upgraded at the library.
This past week the process has included a whole lot of space heaters and multiple layers of clothing.
Going to the bathroom is like visiting Hoth.
