my life

today at work i was wiping butts and cleaning up ants and realized this is not what i want to do forever.  i love it now, but not forever.  so i was talking to my co-worker and she was helping me figure out what i want to do with my life.  i got really excited because i love thinking about a new adventure and what may happen.  i just love possibilities.  on my home from work i called my mom to tell her i want to go back to school, these are some things i want to do and she said, "lydia, go to the library.  there are so many books on majors and careers and the schools you could go to.  ask someone for help, but the library is a great place to get stuff like that."  my mom works at a library.  i got home and told krista all my exciting news and then headed off to the library.  

i get to the library and immediately go the computers to search for career books.  i wish they had the actual card catalogs, those are fun.  anyways, i find a few books and write down the call numbers and go in search.  half way through my search i start to think i don't know where my keys are.  i look in my purse and they aren't there.  oh no, where did they go?  i check my pockets, look on the floor, no luck.  then i think, maybe i set them down by the computers.  i go back to the computers and can't remember which computer i was at and then i found them at the third one, which i guess is the one i was at.  i pick up my keys and tuck them away in my purse and go back to find figure out my life books.  i can't find the ones i'm looking for anywhere.  there isn't a "fix your life" section, but i'm in the section about becoming a lawyer and i start coughing.  i swallowed wrong and then i have a cough on top of that so i was coughing maybe for 13 seconds.  mid cough, a man sitting at a table looks at me and says, "could you do that in the bathroom?"  i was a little embarrassed so i just turned around and walked away coughing, not to the bathroom, meanie.  

i then went to jewel.  i didn't have a lot of groceries, just like 23 maybe.  i went to the self checkout because i didn't want to wait behind soccer mom buying food for the next 3 weeks.  the self checkout is a huge pain and i am never going in it again. i thought it would be fast but soccer mom was out before me.  it's all because of the bananas, stupid bananas, and then the receipt machine got stuck.  man, what a day.

on a happy note, it is Oct 1 and that means it's time for the down comforter!  i can't wait, i love snuggling under it.  ohhhhh, i love the fall, but not jewel self checkout and not mean men that tell me not to cough at the library

I can't believe that man was so rude to you at the library...I mean, I'm all for quiet in the library, but you can't help coughing. You can, however, help talking on a cell phone. Which is what things are like at the Wauconda Library.
