Sorry for the week of silence on the blog. I'm in the midst of working on a project that is not going well. More on that later.

I put in some extra hours at the library this week working all day Saturday and half of Sunday. The patrons who came in were all up in my business. On Saturday one patron asked me if I had ever thought about dating my boss. Uh, no. When I pointed out that there is an age difference of well over 20 years between us, she told me she thought we were much closer in age than that. To quote my friend Melina, oh the pain. I knew that turning my scary age wouldn't be pretty, but apparently I hadn't realized how truly hag like it would make me.

Today another patron came in and asked me if I had wished my father a happy Father's Day. I politely told him that my father had passed away two years ago, but if he was still around then yes I would have. I was then treated to a lecture about how lucky I was that I had even known my father as my patron never got the chance to know his. I really didn't know how to respond to that so I just sort of sat there and blinked back at him. Queen of the Awkward Silence, that's me.

Tomorrow is Monday and I am looking forward to a good week. I hope. :-)
