A big thanks to my husband for correcting my previous entry. I shouldn’t post late at night.

| This is me. At home. See, I’m COLD. And I realize my glasses are a tad too big. |
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been taking a little blogging break. One of the great things about working in an academic library (at least this one) is that I get the week off between Christmas and New Year’s. You may remember that I had some big plans for that time. I did get a lot of it done- the house was cleaner since last Christmas (notice I say “was”), my computers are running a bit faster, my files are organized, I backed up the most important stuff, I worked on a few presentations, cooked quite a bit (after cleaning the kitchen, of course) and played around with various installations (Drupal, wikis) on my web space. I also read, played video games, played around with my OLPC and slept a lot. Towards the end, I got sick- as I am prone to do when I have time off.
So now here I am, more than a week into the new year, and not a blog post to show for it. I blame a bad case of the winter blahs. It is seriously hard for me to get really excited and motivated lately, especially when my nose is running constantly and stepping outside makes me miserable. The fact that I’ve begun planning my trip to ALA Annual in Anaheim this summer (room reservations opened already) has not been helping- I want to go to California NOW.
On the bright side, ALA Annual should be exceedingly fun this year- Geoff and I will head up before the convention for vacation, and he’ll probably join me Saturday for the Scholarship Bash at Disneyland. After that, all are invited to the Rocky Horror Picture Show featuring my old cast Midnight Insanity (link probably NSFW) on the Queen Mary (this link is safe for work. mostly.).
Look at all the places to visit:
So that’s what is keeping me going right now- just knowing that I’ll be by the ocean this summer.
School starts next week, and the week after that I am giving a presentation to my co-workers on Zotero. I’m sort of looking forward to the return to school, maybe it’ll help me kick the blahs- or at least, maybe it will keep me so busy I don’t notice them any more.
