The past three weeks have been absolutely insane. We moved a library. Imagine moving your house. It is, like, a billion times harder and more stressful than that. I am completely exhausted, frankly. The adrenaline rush is over and I am coming down. There isn’t much to say about it except I am glad it is over. We are in our beautiful new home and are getting settled. I love it. As I mentioned, my desk is right out in the middle of things and I am very busy all day helping people. It’s great! It’s the whole reason why I wanted to be a librarian in the first place. I especially love interacting with the kids after school. I’m very happy. I think I will take some photos tomorrow of our grand opening. Then you will be able to see it in it’s finished state. Here is a gallery of photos of the moving process.
