Last week was crazy with grant deadlines and I had the hopes that this previous week would bring productivity with another grant to submit, a presentation to deliver and the biggest program next to summer reading to execute. Wrong.
Monday brought a terrible sore throat and after two doctor's appointments I was rendered contagious and out of commission for two days. Say what? Not what this frazzled librarian needs and I will admit that I tried unsuccessfully to work from my bed but sleep won.
Thanks to my supportive coworkers who led my outreach visit; my awesome parents who made me raspberry smoothies and soup; and my amazing boyfriend who brought me flowers and a get well care package, I survived.
And after three negative strep tests, it was declared a bad viral throat infection. Great, thanks for messing with my schedule.
With the final grant submitted and presentation delivered, I finally rested better yesterday. Tonight I am going to rest much better knowing that today's program is done as well.
AND BECAUSE...
I am fortunate to work with the most fabulous teens. They raised $960 at today's Annual Teen Read-A-Thon, which supports teen programming at the library.
AND BECAUSE...
The grant that my colleague and I submitted back in August was awarded $5,000 this week to start a new department. No details right now, sorry.
So, finally I will give myself the best medicine for my lingering sore throat, headache and fatigue...SLEEP WITHOUT A CARE.
