Librarian, married, 2 cats
The camera we set up on vacation makes me feel better about leaving the cats alone because I can see they do nothing but eat and sleep while we're gone.

Also eggnog! There's a cooked custard version in the back of that same cookbook.

Oh, there's also a chiffon cake in the 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook that's really good but uses 8 eggs, divided, so I haven't done it again. I used to make angel food cake when I was making frozen custard that only used the yolks.

Angel food cake, custard, deviled eggs, omelettes (freeze pretty well), frozen custard, pudding from scratch, hard boiled for snacking (they'll keep in the fridge ~5 days).

If it's helpful, you can put it in a water bottle and shake it. That was what a pharmacist recommended to us.

Day-Timer may have some options that work for you depending what kind of layouts you want. I've got a portfolio cover for the desk size and get refills every year.

At our library, interlibrary loan requests help inform what we buy in the future, since it's an obvious gap in the collection.

I don't know your part of the state specifically, but a lot of the public libraries in NY use a courier rather than the mail for things within the system. So the shipping may already be covered. As long as the lender doesn't charge a fee (a lot of public libraries don't), it's mostly staff time.

Just bookmarked that since, even though we have a cat who made himself throw his own meds up, who knows when they'll decide ours are too tempting.

Maybe also Premee Mohamed's "And What Can We Offer You Tonight?" - the texture of the prose is amazing on top of an interesting story.

Besides what's already on your list, I have really enjoyed Nghi Vo's Singing Hills Cycle, Chuck Tingle's Camp Damascus et al, and T. Kingfisher's Swordheart and Paladin's Grace (there are more in the series but I haven't gotten to them yet).

www.amazon.com/Veken-Innova... This is the one my mom has - she loves it because it's super easy to clean, and it worked for her for both the cats and the dog.

Maybe the Coffee Tea Sugar Flour grain bins, somehow? www.tristatehomepage.com/news/local-n...

I just want to know if sorcerer as a spontaneous caster existed before 3rd edition.

The only math required for my library degree was statistics, because it required a research component. You *can* do math-adjacent stuff (particularly in systems), but there are plenty of librarian jobs that math is not that important. Statistics and budgeting are most of it.
