More Storms! More Work!
I just uploaded another lesson for my online workshop, and now I'm getting ready to work on the newsletter. Not sure if I'll get it out today. I have to go to work soon. We have storms again and that means my internet is iffy. So by the time I have the newsletter ready, I might not be able to send it. :(
But I'm going to try. You know what they say, right? All you can do is give it your best shot!
I have to say that people need to bathe. I was in close quarters with a patron who was having trouble with a print job, and another librarian was with me at the time. I hoped she didn't think it was me that needed to bathe!!!
We've had to spray the area or chairs that some patrons have used when sitting down at the computers, the odor is so bad that it lingers. It's not like any of them are homeless. They just don't bother to take the time to bathe.
When I write my historicals, my characters bathe. Even if back then they didn't. But today, there's no excuse.
I remember once my dad got a fancy bar of soap from my half-sister, and he commented that, "What, does she think I don't bathe and I need a reminder?"
My dad was the most fastidious person I knew. He was always asking, "Did you wash your hands?" Drove us crazy because yes, we always washed our hands before preparing food or eating. Then one day his mother visited, and always called him brother, because his sister did. "Brother, did you wash your hands?"
My sister and I began to laugh. She didn't know what was funny. But we sure did! Now we knew where he got it from.
When he was a prisoner of war for 16 months, some of the worst part of the imprisonment was not being able to bathe. The men were all crawling with lice.
Bathing won't kill you. But not bathing will about kill your fellow humans dead. So take a bath. You'll...well, we'll be glad you did.
