Two Years of Volunteering at the Library

It has been two years since I started volunteering at the local library here, and I have really enjoyed it.

I can't believe it's been that long already. Time just flew by.

I volunteer three days a week; Mondays and Wednesdays I clean discs, and Fridays I deliver library materials to homebound patrons, who aren't able to come in for whatever reason (mainly because of a disability or illness).

I have been doing the disc cleaning since August, and the home delivery service since May 2012. I remember starting out both like it was yesterday.

Yesterday was the library's Volunteer Appreciation Reception, which I did go to. It was nice seeing all the people who volunteer, and the trustees/other library employees there.

Here's to many more years of volunteering!!

Dangerous Weather Here

Well, the next few days will be dangerous in terms of the weather. The temperatures will be below freezing, and there will be several inches of snow (6 + inches). Many schools will be closed, as well as many businesses.
I volunteer on Mondays, and when I saw that the library will be closed tomorrow, I was happy about that, because I did/do NOT want to go out in the conditions we are supposed to have tomorrow.
The high school that I went to is having a snow day tomorrow, which shows that they have some common sense this time in closing the school. They seldom close the school, and I was kind of surprised, but happy that they are closing tomorrow.
Winter is my least favorite season, so I can't wait for it to end, and spring to start. I really do not like cold weather, so the weather we are having is really not making me happy.
I just can't wait for all this to be over.

My Day

Today, I went to the library, to pick up some pastry/cooking books I put on hold. I had to leave some there, because there were a lot of books, and some of them were quite big. I'll get the others another day. So, I pretty much got all the exercise I needed for the day.
We got some more snow today, which I'm not happy about. I do not like winter at all. I can't wait until spring comes, and the snow and ice melts.
As far as I know, for New Year's, my family and I are staying home, having appetizers, and watching New Year's shows on TV.
