See them in September

 ...But not for another week. Traditionally, it's after Labour Day, then there's an inservice, and then two days of Meet the Teacher. THEN it's the first day of school. Because the first day back is so traumatic the kids need a weekend to deal with it. I can't recall what the first day back was like when I was a kid. Maybe the weekend is badly-needed.

 But today is the first library tech meeting. Always a great time. Get to see my most beloved kith and kin. Hope they all had a great summer. Meanwhile, I had a great summer. I was productive and so on. Anyway, I need to cut this short because I have a cat who will start screaming at me any second. I hope ye, my few but fantastic, are doing well.

BYE.

Approach of the morrow

 Yup. It is nearly that time again. By this time tomorrow, I will have had my first day back to work. How did I spend this, my last day of vacation? Library trip and a bit of shopping. Pretty much the same way I've spent most of these summer days. I spent part of the day reading 'Heartstopper 6' and 'The scarlet letter'. These books have nowt in common, by the by.

 Reading the former because I want to make sure it's appropriate for the library. Reading the latter because the last time I read it, I was just starting into my double-digits. Guaranteed, I was far too young to understand it; let alone appreciate it. Our family has a gorgeously-illustrated edition. At least, I hope my sister decided to keep it. Unfortunately, I do not have room for it on my shelves.

 Anyway, it's been a pretty quick read (The scarlet letter). I should be ready to bring it back later this week. Making progress in other things as well. Finally had a meeting with a lawyer to get my will done. One day, certain charities will be pleased with me. Anyway, I hope my few followers are pleased with their lives thus far.

BYE.
