the_rckI woke up with a headache again today. This one is milder, so I'm waiting until I can eat and take naproxen to attempt to medicate it. I've got five minutes until I can eat, so I'll be interrupting writing this in order to do that.
Yesterday's time at the school library was busy. We got about five classes worth of books back, and I didn't even have time to go retrieve the books from the first grade teacher who always forgets to send them down. I got everything checked in and shelved, and I spent some time entering the number of minutes various kids read during the last week. Only about a third to half of the kids turned in reading logs, so the school as a whole isn't anywhere near its goal for total minutes read. The librarian is hoping that more logs will come in today and next week. We did, yesterday, have a few logs from last week come in, so it is possible.
After I did all of that, the librarian gave me a list of overdue books with titles and call numbers. She had me check the shelves to see if any of them were there and simply hadn't been properly checked in. There were probably fifty or sixty books on the list, and I found seven or eight of them. I skipped checking on the overdue magazines because those are time consuming; checking them requires going through the entire stack of back issues, checking each barcode number to see if it matches that of the overdue item. I finished up pretty much right at the time I usually leave.
We did have some trouble with the circulation system during the third grade class. The program crashed on the terminal I use at the main desk, and we couldn't get it back, so the librarian set up with a laptop and checked some things out that way. Then circulation stopped working there, too, so we had to use pen and paper to record check outs. I think circulation came back by the time the next class was ready to check out, but I was busy looking for books, so I don't know. The librarian did tell me that the library got hacked last week by Chinese hackers. She wasn't sure if it was aimed specifically at the school library or if it hit the entire district.
Yesterday's headache did, fortunately, respond to medication. By the time I went to the school, I was mostly fine.
Scott bought so many bananas last Saturday that I still have five left. I eat one a day, most days, for breakfast, and he'll shop again on Saturday. That means I really only need two more, today's and tomorrow's. I've put three of the bananas in the fridge in hopes of keeping them from becoming inedible. I kept two out so that I can make banana bread next week. We don't tend to finish loaves of banana bread (I think everybody forgets about them), but we do eat most of a loaf, so I think it's still worth making.
I'm trying to get myself to read some of the library books I've had sitting around for weeks. Three of those that are left are graphic novels and shouldn't take long once I actually open them. I'd like to be able to return them to the library on Sunday. I've finished two of the six books I currently have out; I'd like to get to four or five.
