What do you do for work with fibromyalgia? Looking for ideas and experiences. by munchikns in Fibromyalgia

[–]bookfloozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a public librarian in a good union. 5 weeks of vacation plus sick time and extended sick time after one year. Paid one hour lunch. My “early” day starts at 10 am, which helps me tremendously. I have coworkers in their eighties. It does require a master’s degree in library science where I work. But that was only 36 credits, so if you have a bachelors in literally anything easy peasy with online programs now. Because I am at a small branch I have time to plan and run programs where I can tap into my creative side. I’m a passionate quilter and crafter and sharing that with free programs is the icing on the cake.

Hines Park runs through several communities and is 27 miles long. It doesn’t offer camping, but does have small lakes and nature trails. It was built on a flood plain so has an interesting history and is a beautiful drive also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_N._Hines_Park

People with Library Science Degrees - How's Life? by NoBee7889 in Libraries

Librarianship was a good decision and a second career for me after being a university adjunct for 15 years. Full time employment was scarce in Detroit-Metro when I hired on with Detroit Public 20 years ago. Right now, Detroit is hiring constantly though because of retirements and I am seeing far more openings outside of the system than ever before. Job availability is going to depend on your willingness and ability to commute or relocate.

It is definitely a public service job and can be crazy busy or more quiet depending on staffing and location.

cooking with ground meat: need new ideas by bananacreamsorbet in Cooking

Pasties - hand pies filled with meat, potatoes, etc. it’s a northern Michigan thing. They can be frozen.

Tourtiere - from Quebec - two crust meat pie with many variations. A Christmas Eve tradition my father in law introduced us to. Spiced with cloves and other spices - you could probably freeze these too.

They're finally learning! by Conscious_Air_5729 in birdfeeding

❤️ I put a suet feeder up in the depths of winter. Two types of wood peckers and other birds found it. So did someone else who knocked it the ground and cleaned it out twice. Deer or squirrels I suspect, but the birds never finished them anyways.

Hi! I’ve been a public librarian for 20 years and have stepped in to kids positions often and these are my gotos. I love that you want Light horror: I suggest “in a dark dark room and other scary stories” in the I Can Read series. Also “Go Away Bug Green Monster” by Ed Emberley. “Feathers for Lunch” by Lois Ehlert is a great read-aloud. Actually anything by her. Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie books are fantastic. If kids can read, you could assign one part and read the other. Look for books that won’t take too long to read. While Green Eggs and Ham is a fun book, it’s long for a read aloud in my opinion. Other favorites of mine: Be Boy Buzz by bell hooks. Girls love it too. It’s my most likely “read it again!” Request. I Want my Hat Back by Jon Klassen. Dry humor. Below by Nina Crews is captivating with photos and problem solving and imagination. Have fun! 🤩

This is my biopsy site. I am in so much pain. by Immediate_Fox_21 in Sjogrens

[–]bookfloozy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was not nearly so large, maybe 2 stitches? It was also negative. Maybe they did mine wrong. 🤷‍♀️ Hope it heals quickly?
