I had planned to be productive this evening after work since I was going to get out early and I didn’t do too badly. I did get another step in the couch to 5k accomplished which I’m happy about and I was able to run a couple of errands. I wanted to write more too but mom was up until like 10:30 and I’ve been dying to watch Lucifer all week because of the shenanigans. This week’s episode was well worth the wait. I mean it was just hilarious and so gaaaayyyyy. I mean in an absurd way. And I’ll admit that my enjoyment of Pierce/Kane and Lucifer is inarticulable.

After the work day I had, I’m needed that. We were in a “retreat” for work, that was a like a one day training thing. There was the normal “state of the company” and “goals for the future” business that you normally get at any work meeting--especially one that only happens once a year--but then they brought in a CMPD officer to talk about the “opioid crisis” and how many people are dying from these types of drugs and what addict and sellers lives/attitudes are like. Depressing. Then we get an information session from the Domestic Violence county support group. Even more depressing. THEN we get a presentation from a “housing first” county group that assists with finding housing for homeless people.

Look, these are important. I absolutely get WHY they brought these groups in, especially since we work with all kinds of public (especially the peeps that work in the “main” library downtown) and these are the types of groups that many of our patrons need.

But to have all those groups come in and do 45(ish) minute (each) presentations in ONE afternoon??

Yeah, where’s the heroin because I don’t wanna be here right now.

Needless to say, I needed some relaxation, something to laugh at, and a stiff drink. The walk/jog helped too, I have to say.

But yeah, now I want to head to bed because I have a thing in the morning and it would be sad if I missed it. Plus I’m pretty damn tired anyway because I don’t know how to consistently go to bed at a decent hour yet (I am working on it).
