Rocky Start to the Semester

[amycooper]

So we lost two clerks over the summer.  So we interviewed and filled both positions.  One started yesterday, the other will Saturday.  They're the late night/weekend hours.  Then one of our librarians resigned for a higher paying job in Maryland a week before the semester started.  She also worked night/Sunday shifts.  So now I'm working nights and training the new night time clerk.  Another librarian and I have split the weekends.  Furthermore, the semester started and meetings are being scheduled so I have to also come in normal hours.  Plus a large accreditation self-study landed on my desk right before the semester started.  And I had my yearly review and I...

Yeah.

I've decided I'm taking a me vacation later September.  My husband gets away every three months or so for a weekend, often at his friend's camp or to do something or another.  And he's been telling me I should for years and while I don't disagree, I really don't have a thing I want to do.  In fact, I'm too tired/overworked to want to do a thing.  

But I've made the bold new decision to do a mini-getaway for myself where I won't be doing a damn thing except read. I think I'll get a B&B a 30-45 minutes away from home and bring a couple of books and some comf pajamas and read and eat a nice dinner.  Maybe get a massage, maybe.  That's it.

Cuz I need it.

Sounds like an excellent idea.

Thanks.

if you are anything like me, you will get there, get all comfortable, start to read and...
sleep.

I mean that is great and all until you realized you drooled all over your book.

Aside from the drool on the book thing, that would be alright too.
