I just saw the snowplow going down the street this morning---this is a low-traffic street, so it's low priority and it hasn't been plowed since it snowed a couple days ago.
And this afternoon, more snow is due...
Biking in new snow is heavy work.
I'm proud of myself, arriving at work on my bike, but I'm a bit sore this morning, so I'm going to take the bus to work.
A bus serves the nearby high school, and since the students are distance-learning, I've been the only rider for most of the trip the couple times I've taken it.
It'll be a bit of a treat, taking public transportation, weird to say.
I'm in a pretty good mood lately, in general, thank goodness.
I'm trying to think of ways to make work better for me (and the people around me)--how to practive better self-care?
It helps if I go in prepared, instead of dashing off last minute.
I've taken my tinctures--CBD oil, an immune booster mix, and elderberry syrup, and I'm eating leftover beef this morning. I don't like to
eat this early, but going to work without breakfast puts me
in a bad mood by late morning.
Blogging before work helps me feel more like myself. I'm trying to avoid customers, and I think that's part of my unhappiness--I'm not mirrored by book people at work.
One of my only book-reading coworkers sent me this text before Christmas. I love it so much:
I had set up red & green books last week --no theme except color:
I took them down yesterday and left without setting up a display.
I'm going to put Cool Old Books on display, since their front covers are often a treat. You can't judge them by their spines.
Meanwhile, Penny Cooper suggests holding onto a talisman of who you are. I shall take a paperclip!
