Unemployed Librarians Guild

(a muff at a historic site, that will not be named. i am madly in love with this muff. it's pink!)

I have been out of work for a month, finished student teaching two weeks ago, and thoroughly enjoying my time off. Never fear, I am looking for a job, and sending out resumes and cover letters frequently.

So what does an unemployed librarian do?

- Read like a mofo.
I've been reading like a maniac this month. It's so nice reading for fun ... and for professional development (funny how those intertwine!). I broke my "try not to buy books" rule (for book money and yarn money is one and the same) in order to read the third book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. The Titan's Curse was totally worth it. I emailed one of my dearest friends from college telling her she must must must read The Lightning Thief. Currently I'm reading the first book in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites.

- Catch up on Doctor Who
I'm planning to! That's tomorrow's activity. Knitting and David Tennant. Mmm. I have about three more episodes left in Series 3.

- Knit that Christmas present for her brother...
I am now fifty percent finished with Rob's present. I started the third skein of wool last night while watching NCIS and whatever was on after it.

- Volunteer!
Yesterday was the first time in months that I was able to see the Costume Ladies. We visited Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay ... where I spent several lovely hours volunteering today. Hats! Bonnets! Kepis! Pictures! I can't wait to go back and play next week.
