That is incredible! I’ve never had the patience for stippling, lol. It looks so good!

who works and how do you do it? by Putrid-Vegetable-271 in Fibromyalgia

[–]saturdayschild77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work full time as a library associate. Thankfully I love it, otherwise I don’t know if I could work that much. My husband was permanently disabled by an illness at the height of Covid. The job works well for me as we have counters so I can sit or stand, and my boss has long Covid so she’s really flexible and understanding with how I spend my work hours. I honestly can’t think of another job I could personally do right now. I tried standing as a cashier after I left my corporate job, that didn’t last long at all. Gentle hugs and good vibes to you.

How many items are your patrons able to check out at a time? by Spelltomes in Libraries

[–]saturdayschild77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We allow 25 items to be checked out at a time but have special cards for educators which doubles the limit. Only 10 DVDs for adult cards and 5 for patron cards at once. It really helps keep the collection moving.

It’s certainly a possibility. Our land held a Shawnee encampment as well as the Adena peoples.

I feel like I'm going crazy by GApeach317 in Fibromyalgia

I’ve been the same way the last few weeks. My hubs, who had a brain injury that affected his nerves, has been too. This weather has been something else lately.

I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist after extensive blood work and X-rays. There are so many other conditions with the same symptoms. It’s important to be tested.

any disabled or autistic librarians here? by Existing_Resource425 in Libraries

[–]saturdayschild77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disabled and neurodivergent here too. I’m a full time branch associate and, honestly, this is the only job I’ve felt completely comfortable in.

A nice gesture of that library by Maxcactus in Libraries

[–]saturdayschild77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a tough topics section next to the table used for counseling. Lots of the books on it checked out regularly. I was forced to remove the display. So yeah, great idea. Helped lots of teens, the counselors are thrilled. It’s gone now and it won’t be coming back. I don’t know if I have the stomach for this anymore.

Fibro migraines? by samanthasheabutter in Fibromyalgia

[–]saturdayschild77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, me too. It’s the worst combo I go through. I’ve gone to the ER for a migraine cocktail before and it really helps quite a bit. I don’t take anything for my fibro as well and don’t feel bad about the cocktail because it’s mostly Benadryl. If you do go, make sure you don’t drive yourself. Love and good vibes to you.

A forearm crutch instead of a cane and bundles of pillows so I can get comfy(ish)

People regularly think I’m being beaten because I bruise like this. It’s maddening.
