Best Day of My Life

Yesterday while I was out for a mental health day, Gretchen autographed my poster of Justin Bieber. I didn't notice until she pointed it out, but I thought it was pretty funny. Then fourth period these girls said to me, "Ms. Thompson, you met Justin Bieber? Oh my god!" I said, "Uh, yeah." Because I really couldn't believe that these girls thought that I had really met Justin Bieber. "Was it cool? Was he cool? Where?!" They wanted to know all about it. Not having any details to give and afraid I might bust into laughter I just responded, "Best day of my life, the day I met Justin Bieber."

"To Bethany- Thanks for being such a fan- Love, Justin Bieber"

Wednesday I saw Stephen in his full on middle aged professor get up- glasses and cardigan sweater. He hadn't heard that I was less one duck, so I took the opportunity to ask him a few questions, like whether or not I needed to get more ducks to keep PDub company and so she would not be prone to fowl depression. Stephen said having just one duck might be better for "our relationship" because she might be more friendly towards me. Once again, Stephen was right on in his evaluation because since she has been the only duck, PDub has been way more friendly. She lets me pet her nearly every day and when I walk towards her she rarely runs away. Sometimes she even lets me pick her up. I guess we're taking our 'relationship' to a new level.

I think my love affair with my LA County Library Card has passed its Honeymoon phase. That which I was most afraid has happened: Even Silence Has An End became available Monday, as I was finishing Killing Floor. It's almost 700 pages. Then yesterday The Imperfectionists became available at 304 pages. It's too much pages! I'm feeling stressed. No way I can read all that in the next 21 days. I don't know if I can deny a book and then put myself back on the waiting list. What if I can't do it? Doesn't my LA County Library Card understand I have two baby quilts to finish? Doesn't it know I have two jobs? Doesn't it understand that I need more time? Stop stalking me LA County Library Card! I have other hobbies and friends. You're not the only thing in my life, man.
