Two Years Later

It has been two years since I posted in this blog. A lot of things have changed over the past two years. I completed my Masters in Library and Information Science in August 2016. In October of 2016, I was promoted and became the first Young Adult Services Librarian at my branch, a job that I had been doing as an untitled paraprofessional for 11 years. I went from Circulation Assistant to full blown librarian and it has been wonderful.

Personally, I have embraced Kpop fandom and found several new friends through it. I am still friends with all my Buffy friends but that fandom has been less active as the years pass.

What hasn't changed in two years has been my battle with clutter. It gets worse and then gets better. My energy for cleaning and organizing waxes and wanes. I am not getting any younger and I realize that I have to make a change. My parents are getting older and I spend more time attending to their needs which means less time for myself. I reached a tipping point and I have to make myself do something. So I am reviving this blog and maybe it will keep me accountable. I have thought about doing some YouTube videos but first, I have to make some progress.

I cleaned out a purse today that has been sitting dormant in a corner since 2015 when I changed purses to go to TLA in Austin (where I promptly broke my ankle on the first day of the conference). I found this fortune in the purse along with .11 cents and the keys to my two storage units. It says "Delay is the deadliest form of denial." Maybe the universe is telling me something...
