Southern Oregon in the fall is like magic to me.

Distant blue mountains framed by green conifers.

Yellow aspens pop center- stage in a forest.

This is why I DoorDash. I get my things delivered to my porch and avoid people.

I always feel like somebody’s watching me.

I had three papers due this week. One of the papers was graded today, and I scored a 90. I’m still waiting on my other two papers to be graded. The anxiety is killing me.

Again, why did I agree to minor in English? My brain is fried. 😭

My grade to one of my papers I wrote for Studies in Shakespeare. I scored a 90.

I actually took a trip to Corpus Christi and Port Aransas two years ago. It was my first time on a beach. I was amazed by the waves.

I’m tired.

Here are some nice mushrooms

I laughed at this for 10 minutes straight.

As a kid, I remember the beach scene being all the rage in the early 2000s. We had PacSun, Hollister, The OC, and Laguna Beach.

I always said when I got older, I was going to move to California and live on the beach. Yet, here I am still in west Texas.

I’m ready for a change in scenery.

Tell me your job stresses you out without telling me your job stresses you out.

I’ll go first:

A library director accidentally breaks a stress toy with his hand. He’s under a lot of stress. He probably needs a new job.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! 🥺

Every single morning.

I just want to be surrounded by nature.

In honor of Dia de los Muertos, we created an ofrenda table in the library to honor those who are no longer with us. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who shared photos and stories of their loved ones to make this tribute so special.

A student sitting in a desk with a backpack and books surrounding them. There is something written on the front of the desk. It reads, “Protect kids from guns, not books.”

I highly agree.
