Weekend run down & work
Mar. 29th, 2022 10:44 amI finally got rid of an old exercise bike my parents had! They bought it back in ‘97, I think. I know I was still a tween & Xena was on the air because I have vivid memories of bicycling and watching Xena. As nerdy as it is to admit, I absolutely used to pretend that I was riding a horse while I was watching & biking. God, I used to love that show! It had its batshit and questionable moments but I still hold a lot of fondness for the characters.
Anyway, back to the bike. I’d been putting off dealing with it because of its size, it’s larger & heavier than your typical exercise bike so it wouldn’t fit in the car for a dump run. Finally I figured I dragged it down the driveway for our bulk collection day to see if they would take it. And they did! Never have been so happy to get rid of something!
Aside from that, home stuff has been pretty quiet. We stayed home because of the freezing rain & because Covid cases have been still high for us. So my time was mostly watching season 2 of Bridgerton with John, finishing Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park, playing Sims, and cleaning up.
We very much enjoyed the new season of Bridgerton, love/hate is one of my favourite tropes and we both got a kick out of the family’s antics. Colin & Benedict, especially Benedict, were pretty amusing. It’s interesting to see how it deviates from the books in certain ways and honestly, I think the changes make it more enjoyable.
For example, the Featheringtons, Lady Danbury, and Queen Charlotte are not major characters in the books like they are in the show. I love these characters in the show so imo the lack of them makes the books less entertaining. That might be a little spoiler-y for the books but honestly, I think it’s worth knowing if you like the show and are thinking about reading the books.
Now it’s back to the work week. So far I’m kept busy with a weeding project in our journals which makes me happy. I know some folks feel horror at the thought of libraries getting rid of material and before I worked in libraries I felt the same way. However, after participating in multiple re-organizing moves in our library stacks, my attitude is now the opposite. I feel joy seeing us reclaim more space in the stacks by getting rid of the stuff no one is touching.
