Why is every conference center so darn cold? I've taken to bringing a pashmina to act as a blanket because keeping my coat on is not a enough. I get that things can get warm when a lot of people are around but, if most of the audience is bundled for winter weather, you've gone too far. Here's what I'm shivering through:

I always think spring break will be an "easy" week and it never is. The students might not be here but I try to cram in too many projects. At least I got to have some fun with drink umbrellas. Here's what I'm working on:
On our internal chat, my colleagues and I chatted about all the various things on our plates right now... and how all we want to do is nap. One of them shared this image and I've decided this is going to be the mascot for the next few weeks. Here's what I'm focusing on:
One thing I have not gotten to is all the professional email in my personal inbox. I've been so busy with other things that I've just been watching my inbox fill up with list-serv, industry, and vendor emails. I might have time to get to all of them... next week. Here's what I am working on:
In a staff meeting this week, we talked about how we couldn't wait for summer because things would be "easier." Then we all remembered that our entire library needs to move (again), this summer. Joke's on us. Here's what I've been focusing on:
My brain is mush right now. Between candidate interviews, teaching, lots of student appointments, and my kiddo deciding I'm not allowed to sleep, my brain is barely functioning. Here's what I'm focusing my limited energy on:

It's that time of the year again where I go through more hand lotion than my wallet cares to think about. Our office is incredibly dry. Using my space heater (absolutely necessary), makes it drier. Throw in projects where I'm working with paper (common), and even more moisture leaves my skin. My knuckles look like they've been in a bar fight. I can feel my hands sigh with relief every time I apply more lotion. Here's what I've been working on:
It's frigid today but I was thrilled to walk in the cold because I was taking our kiddo to school after 4.5 days without childcare. That said, I'm thrilled the snow hit DC on a holiday weekend. We got to take her sledding. I lost track of how many times she screamed, "Again!" Here's what I'm working on:
I had a dentist appointment this morning. I followed that up by immediately drinking coffee. I always feel so bad for my teeth. I get them all nice and clean and then drown them in a hot, acidic beverage. But coffee is forever necessary. Here's what I've got going on:
