they became clutter

I am no longer looking forward to this evening at Dalton Presbyterian Church when I have had planned for 58 days to give blood. It's not exactly a plan, it is more like just written on the first line of the date in my daily planner two months ahead of time. Red Cross workers are on strike.

Tomorrow evening I will be across the street in the library where I restock shelves, sidestep 4 year old's, lower the flag and see if two movies have been checked out. "The New World" for the longest time and, since January, "Mother and Child." Their close proximity moves my eye from a far left corner of "Mo" to a middle section of "Ne." Only last week was "Mother and Child" missing. Maybe a single time since May the same for "The New World." I could not say which movies are most often picked and borrowed. If Wayne County PL requests all librarians to tally - in written pencil and in categories - questions patrons ask to yield statistics, I'm sure there is an electronic log for popular books and media.

I would watch either of those - along with about another dozen movies - in any mood. But I am trying to stop. I have stopped. The movies in my room I can leave in their cases. Return them and resist requesting anymore.
