The first major issue would be that when the sun first peeked over the horizon this morning, I was awake! I could NOT sleep last night! I had to clean, and I wanted to complete some homework ahead of time so that I could enjoy the weekend while my mom was visiting, and then of course Kathy was there so we spent a large portion of time laughing so hard we were crying (literally)! I am afraid that the moments we experienced through the night cannot be properly expressed through writing as they were all very much "had to be there" moments! However, I'm going to try my best!
I had planned to go straight home yesterday after work to get ready for this weekend. However, the universe had different plans! I started the day by trying on almost every outfit I owned trying to find the "right" ensemble for work (for reasons that lead to yet another long story)! Then, after settling for one of the last things I threw on, I plastered my face with the usual makeup and threw my ruffled hair into a clip before rushing out the door; barely remembering to lock it!
Work was the same as usual until a few hours in! That is when the chaos began! We had a situation where a book went missing, which, to someone who doesn't work in a library, probably doesn't seem like such a big deal. However, this particular book had been returned because it had a hold placed on it. On of the students checked it in and placed it on the shelf, ready for the next patron. HOWEVER, 10-15 minutes later when he came back for it, it was gone! That was the start of a rather long and drawn out search for a book that we would later discover another student checked out! Bye the time we figured out the entire process, my co-worker and I were in tears we were laughing so hard! Unfortunately, most of the laugher was in the moment and cannot be captured here in this blog! But basically, it was just the tip of a days worth of franticness.
After this, I decided I would take my lunch break and headed out for an hour. I made it to the little diner only after spending 20 minutes in a little bakery shop I discovered and purchasing a ladybug cake pan (I couldn't leave without it)! While eating, an "urgent news break" came over the radio. An escaped convict had been spotted in Emporia! The excitement continued; and I hurried back to work!
On the way back to work, I twisted my ankle and cut it open along the edge of my shoe (don't ask me how I managed that)! So, I hobbled 1/3 of the way there and had blood all over the back of my white shoe! But I made it!
While I was trying to get myself situated with the first aide kit, a patron who, likes to cause trouble, to say the least, decided to make this day the day he would be a problem. That alone took 10 minutes and an extreme amount of patients to handle!
Then, two of my co-workers headed home and I thought (<<
After releasing all of our patrons, we aimed for a calmer evening.... but everyone was on their toes for the remainder of the evening!
After work, Kathy decided she was coming over (which was fine with me, I love the company)! We ran by the grocery store because it was close, but then decided we needed to go to Wal-Mart. One hour later we left with the toilet paper we needed and about other things we decided we "needed!"
It took awhile to clean, but then I started making the cake! If you didn't know, I love making cakes! This is the one thing I can cook, and furthermore, love to make! I especially love decorating. However, this does not change the fact that I am a klutz! After making the frosting recipe two times, I began to decorate the cake, however, in the end, it was myself that was decorated when the frosting bag exploded! Pink frosting covered my face, and giggles filled the room! However, I eventually was able to complete the task! BUT, in the process I ate half the frosting that I made, and.... that may have been why I was so wide awake!
Overall, the night was great! It was a fun way to end such a crazy and stressful day! Or more appropriately, a "sweet" way to end the day!
So that was Wednesday! It seems rather dull in writing, but, as I pointed out, you really just had to be there!
