​Hi Ladies~

I'm out today unfortunately. I'm home nursing a UTI that came on me fast and furiously yesterday (2.5 hours in the doctor's office) not fun when your that uncomfortable. Anyway I'm on antibiotics and enjoying sitting for the first time since then!

I'm wiped so I'm hoping you can simply keep the MRC running with library passes and checking books in and out in my absence.

Emma will be in at noon and she can let you know where we are with processing the book on the yellow cart. Feel free to put any checked in books back on the shelves. Shelves could also use to be read, making sure the are all in order and where they are supposed to be.
