It was much warmer in the general library than it is in the computer room, for which I was grateful! The shuttle buses have made me lazy as hell; I won't even walk across the park if I can't help it! Where's the person of three weeks ago who gladly walked a kilometre (albeit with an hour's rest in between halves) with a friend? Nowhere to be seen, I'm afraid! I do love these Snyder's of Hanover pretzel pieces - jalapeno is the BEST flavor! Not quite so jazzed about the H.K. Anderson peanut butter-filled pretzel pieces, but they're all right.

Edit: I should work on my patience levels; just as I decided the bus wasn't coming so I should WALK home, I saw the bus passing me! Oh well, at least I got some exercise? Thank goodness I was legitimately out when my mom tried calling me, too! Yay for Caller ID! This thing restarted at 9:30!
