The Now: June 9, 2021

Am I the only person who is way spending way to much brain power on the cicadas?

The noise I can handle - in fact, it's soothing to me. Dodging all the little critters on the sidewalk is a lot harder to ignore. When I go for a walk, I'm looking down so as to not step on them. I even try to dodge them when I've got the kiddo in her stroller. I know that there are literally millions (even billions) of the bugs out there, but I still feel bad if I squash one. 

Here's what else has my attention at the moment.

WORK
  • After years of not doing it, I updated the "Presentations & Publications" page of this website. It feels really good to see everything I've accomplished. Now I just need to do the same thing with my ORCID account...
  • I am finally (finally!) making headway in my University customer service proposal. I just decided to sit down and write one section of the document each day. This draft is not pretty, but that is why it is a draft. Editing can work it's magic later once I've written the entire thing.
  • After the success of our first webinar series, we are opting to move forward with another series in the Fall semester. This one is going to target students. I just finished and shared the initial proposal with the reference team. I'm excited about this one! Most of our classes are still going to be online, so I'm hoping to capture more students either in the live sessions or through the recordings.
  • We are trying a new way to market the library to faculty. A colleague and I are developing "departmental resources and services" sheets. I started working on the first step of this project today: creating a template.

PERSONAL
  • Due to scheduling and weather, I missed several workouts in my 5K training app. I'm trying to get back on board by just getting some running in. The humidity is getting to me which makes the distance shorter than I'd like but I hope to get back on the training plan soon.
  • I cleaned the grout in our shower. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better. Now I just need to figure out how to clean up those spots in the caulk line that my grout cleaning method couldn't tackle. Might need to use an exacto knife and just cut it out.
  • My 24-hour parenting break hotel night is on Saturday. (Can't wait!) I'm working on my plans and packing list. Introverted pampering here I come!
