“Having Fun Isn’t Hard”…

Before I forget, which is likely to happen 😊😊😊

As the song from “Arthur” goes “Having fun isn’t hard,
when you have a library card.”

September is Free Library Card Month.
If you are like me, you live rurally and are outside the city limits.
In this case, you would have to pay for a library card. You can get it
for six months or a full year. It’s not super expensive, except when
you don’t have the money then everything is.

I haven’t had a library card in over 10 years.
Mostly because I didn’t have the money for one.
And then for a while, I didn’t have any suitable mail to provide
as proof of address. Other times, we just simply forget because
of the lack of advertisement. I found out about it quite by accident, I
think the year I moved here or the year after. There is not a big
ad campaign making it known, so I have to wonder if many rural
people even know about it. Especially those that are even more
rural than we are!

One thing I miss about FL libraries (Orange County specifically) was
that when you put a book on hold, and it came in they mailed it to you.
No need for you to rush in to pick it up. There was always something
very exciting about getting mail from the library.
When I lived in GA, we didn’t have such a service. You had X amount of
days to come in and pick up the book or it went to the next person in
line.
I wasn’t aware of what the option was when I lived in NY. I was at the
library so much that it wasn’t an issue. I had two library cards, one for
Brooklyn and one for Queens. If I wasn’t at one or both of the branches
closest to me, I was at the school library. I spent the majority of my free
time in freshman year of high school in my school’s library. It was my
safe haven.

In other happenings, today I am highly audio sensitive.
My ears. oh my ears.
The squeak of the dog toy.
Someone coughing (it’s the smoke, still BAD!!)
The Little high pitch screaming or laughing because she can.
Someone speaking too close to me.
I hate days like this. But I think I’d rather my ears be sensitive
than my eyes, because that just leads to aura migraines and those
suck donkey balls.

Until tomorrow…..
