…another nickel.
Saw Ted bopping around the library door. He had been limping last week, but he seems to be A-OK now.
Work was great: still shifting Adult Fiction, and getting ready to open w/o appointments on Saturday.
Home to watch President Biden’s address.
I have some hope, yo.
Goodnight, y’all!
Today was a good day at work. I call it a good day when there are no incident reports. I did have to ask a guy to leave (watching videos on his phone even after I informed him that he needed to use earbuds/headphones), but he left without a problem.
I was checking out Google earth on the new phone, and peeped on my own place. This is my front door. I live upstairs.
It’s been super breezy all day, and now it’s cold & windy enough to keep knocking out my wifi. It comes back on, but the interruptions are annoying.
Was clearing out old files (new phone, ya) and found this video, looking out my kitchen window while it rained, in March 2020…before CA shut down.
Goodnight, y’all!
For the month of April, I work Tuesdays through Saturdays, so today is my Friday.
Being a #saturdaylibrarian is mostly the same as weekday librarian-ing, except that the Vallejo Farmer’s Market that occurs every Saturday from 9-2 increases foot traffic, as it’s right around the corner from the library, on Georgia street.
This is Ted.
Ted lives just outside the library door, on the City Hall side.
Ted loves unsalted peanuts.
Welp! The work week is over for me…its time to pack it up and drive to Woodbridge to be with my Heart…
PS – I love talking to ya’ll every day!
My Love has been organizing the items that have been stored in the spare room at his place. This is the room that will become my Art Studio there.
I’ll bring my Ott Light to replace that lamp in the corner, but this table is SUPER sturdy, and the chair is nicer than my work chair.
My Love also brought the art supplies I’ve had in the dining room, into this room, and sorted them really well, truly.
The cardboard in the window will be replaced by one of my wonderful tapestries.
I am looking forward to making some art in this room.
More importantly, this was all done by the Love of My Life, because he supports my Art Practice and Process.
I am incredibly blessed and lucky.
*day 5, under the wire cuz I’m on the West coast.
My Sweetheart turned me on to a couple new apps to play with.
Over is used to put words on top of my artwork. Like this:
Quik is an app that creates slideshows of your pictures and layers them in time to some basic tunes. Like this:
This is too much fun, yall!
In it, I explain some differences in black pens, types of paper, and gesso.
This video was filmed and edited by my coworker, Sean Smith, who is truly awesome and made me look pretty good.
I hope you like it.
This was filmed for and through Solano County Library, using equipment from The Makery at the JFK branch in Vallejo, California.
I’d make more if there was interest…
