I still have a lot to learn at the library, but as I'm getting more comfortable in my role, learning more about my regular responsibilities and the general work flows I'm finding myself falling in love with my new job. I like the people I work with and am grateful for the lower stress levels. The library has it's own set of stressors, but nothing comparable to trying to get someone's $100,000 hospital claim paid, or getting someone approved for the medication they have been out for 3 days. I feel like a new person working at the library. Today, I met the local chess club guys. They are a few older gentleman that meet at the library to play chess every Wednesday. They were great and they even invited me to join them.
Part of working at the library , is the responsibility to stay up on current reading lists, which means I need to read! Since having Sylvia there has been next to no time at all to read. I have been wanting to watch less time and spend less time on the computer anyways, and now I have motivation to do so. It's pretty much impossible to read while Sylvia is awake, so during her afternoon nap, instead of TV or playing on the computer as I normally do, I have started to read. (Housework has to wait until night-time when I know she's down for the night...if I try to start a cleaning project during the day while she is napping, you can guarantee she will wake up in 15 minutes. It's just my luck, and I have learned to accept it.) So, I may only get 15 minutes of reading in, or on a good day maybe 45 minutes. Either way, I'll take it!
Sylvia was in a great mood tonight. We spent some time outside sitting in the shade this afternoon. It was so gorgeous out, it would have been wrong not to spend some time outside.
