Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

A really quick entry tonight; I am tired beyond all tired but I have no idea why. I slept great last night and even Saturday night at the hotel, but this morning I could barely drag myself out of bed and into the shower and I've been like that all day. But I did get to the dressmaker with the girls after school, so at least the alterations on our wedding wear are underway. And I have the dentist tomorrow, so I can't take the shoes to be dyed until Wednesday.

I spent about an hour this morning hanging out an upstairs window at school taking pictures of them demolishing a "temporary" classroom that has been there for 30 years and which has been the much-beloved center of the student activities program for the last 20. It was something to watch that big dinosaur-like crane just eating it up. But the dust and noise were awful all day, too. There was a faculty meeting after school in the cafeteria, right near the construction, and there was just no hearing, not even just for me. What a waste of time.

Okay, I'm going to watch the last Raymond and then hit the sack.
