Yesterday a patron returned Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social.
Me: It's finally my turn to check it out!
New patron: Hey, that book looks cool. Can I check it out?
Other patron: It does look cool, can I get on the wait list for that?
Me: Absolutely! (resigned to waiting yet again)

Yup, I'm feelin' surly.

Last year I bought candy but we had zero trick-or-treaters, which meant that Laird and I ate all the candy.
This year I bought no candy. If kids come, it looks like they're getting bananas and LÄRABARs.
