We had a Disney/animal movie marathon this past week including Finding Dory. Mom has also found a lot of horse shows and movies this week, so we’re keeping entertained with happier things than our usual crime procedurals lately. Suggestions welcome.

In work, the Digital Archive is live with 67 items, but I’m still cleaning up the OCR transcripts before publicizing it widely. Looking forward to putting up lots more things as we have time. On the other side, we have our test instances of both Alma and Primo VE, so we’re all exploring our new library systems. Looking for all the broken bits so we can do it right for the real load next year. I’ve also gotten my certifications to administer both systems.

In other work news, I’ve been approved for permanent accommodations. That means I’m officially work from home for my job. I can choose to go to campus, but cannot be required to go. So, that’s nice. COVID is ebbing currently, but my job is nearly all hands off anyway. So happy to be done filling out requests each semester.

Got to paint and play my red panda fighter last weekend. We escaped the Zoo successfully.

Red Panda miniature in green hood, leather pants, shield and sword.

Take care of each other and remember to vote in your primaries.

My parents came down to Ohio this week. I got to celebrate their 49th Anniversary with them on Thursday, and they are spending Father’s Day with my brother and his family. We had a nice time of food, stories, and shopping. I also got to share some of the newer Disney movies with them: Encanto, Moana, and Raya. And after Raya, I showed Mom Shang Chi because it seemed appropriate. I fell asleep, but I think she liked it. 😀

So, this meant a short week last week, and Juneteenth means a short week this week. But work is moving along, full of meetings and conferences and webinars. Lots to learn and organize. But it’s the end of the fiscal year, so everyone is super busy.

My DnD game is going well. Digging deep into stories, making friends with monsters, and exploring a fun new city. I forgot to do my blogs before my parents got here, so I should get on that today. As well as session prep.

So, have a great week! Stay safe. Get vaxxed.

My big event of the week(end) was Mom coming to visit Sunday lunch through Tuesday lunch. She spoiled us with lots of good food, including bringing homemade Chex mix and puppy chow. We also watched lots of movies together – Argo, Up and Avengers. Monday, we went thrifting while NTB changed my oil and serpentine belt. We got me five new work shirts and a new short winter jacket.  Also stopped out to Meijer for a few things, including her getting a couple photos printed. It was a very nice visit.

Still requesting prayers for my Grandpa. Waiting to hear more news, been pretty quiet since Saturday.

The store started playing Christmas music this week. They swear it’s only one of the five CDs, but it must be a really long one. One of my radio stations has also gone all-Christmas. Still not sure what our holiday plans are for either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Several options floating around, just need to make decisions. Really wish we could get All of our Nook HD reservations into the store now. I know the storm messed some of it up, but come on, one box at a time isn’t a storm problem. We’re missing sales by a lot lately, and we don’t have the devices people want to buy. Self-correcting problem, I’d think… But then it’s always like that until the flow really starts going for a new device. Still frustrating. And they are very pretty. 🙂

Finished Nicholas and Alexandra by Massie, taking a break from history to read some magazines for a couple weeks. Russian history is fairly depressing. At least now I know the trouble with the Disney version of Anastasia. Rasputin being dead before the family died, and not being vindictive towards them in the least. Though he was a rather rotten man, in any case, though not an evil sorcerer.
