The deer munching the chapel lawn are completely unbothered by hoards of people with candles and a mariachi band and Aztec dancers in full dress.

It dipped into the 30s last night, so I thought my office would be a new record. Nah, it’s been 3 degrees colder. (This took a long time to type out)

Part of our say-goodbye-to-the-library party today featured collage button making with old withdrawn books. There was a “Penguins of the world” book so I had fun. Then someone saw I liked penguins and made me another one. (Excuse my dry ass hands)

I’m not a buy buy buy person. The fewer things I have the better. But I did get that exact duck light, and it was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It brings me joy.

I’ve become a person who reads while a YouTube video of a fireplace plays on the TV. I’m not sure where or why this happened.

Not the calf or mom (I didn’t want to stress them by stopping), but this other younger cow was fun. The cattle on the ranches are a bit more skittish than those that graze in the parks. They don’t see as many people. It was startled to see me, but got over me quickly. As always, kept my distance.

I obviously have no love lost for this building, but with 11 days left in it (for now), leaving tonight and seeing it dark and empty makes me kind emotional.

A student did see that was was (rightfully) concerned about books being destructed. We explained to her the process and it made her feel better. But we decided to change the word on the signage to not be so violent. I just saw the new label. It took me a minute.
