I got a job! Temporary, and I sort of neglected to inquire how much I would be paid. But it's in a library.

Of course, they want me to start Monday at 8am, so I need to arrange before and after school care stat, and my mother is arriving tonight at 7pm and not leaving until Sunday at 4pm and then we're invited to dinner Sunday night. Also, the boss of the job admonished me for talking too loud today. That's right, a shusher.

Still, a job!

Nice, flea!

It is a slammed time of year, and we have been being visited by all the family members who no longer live 10-18 hours away every other weekend. We'll see you some time!
