The picture above sums up today's morning perfectly. When I came home with an arm full of library books, I set them and my tai chi shoes down on the deacon's bench by the front door next to my cat Kaden. Then I stepped back and laughed. And took a few photos with my blog in mind. Today is a real treat. For once I'm off on a Monday (or not sleeping after a midnight shift). I had no set plans other than tai chi at a community centre at 9am. So I fed the pets, gave Kaden his insulin shot (he's diabetic and has a needle twice a day) and headed to tai chi. After a good practice, I chatted with my friend Louise as we headed to the library next door to the centre. And I picked out some library books. I haven't done this in a long long time. I have tons of books. If I want to borrow library books, I usually place them on hold through the home computer, have them sent to our closest branch then just quickly run in to pick them up. But it brings back brightly polished memories of every stage of my life. Such a comfort to struggle through the front door with a haphazard tower of library books in my arms. My afternoon turned out lovely as well. I fed the birds outside, tidied and trimmed some house plants and took cuttings then went out for a lunch of sushi with my hubby, came home, texted with a couple of friends, checked out some blogs and now am writing my own. An idyllic kind of day. But, as if to ground ourselves, my hubby and I have exciting plans this evening to sort out and clean the fridge together in an effort to discover the culprit(s?) of the lurking horrid stink!

I love wandering through the library with an armful of books too! I haven't done that in too long, I think I should remedy that

I LOVE going to the library but I don't go as often anymore because, like you, I put a hold on them and have them sent to the library across the street! How convenient it is. I also have many books on my kindle and also borrow them from Hoopla Digital which is connected to my library.
