January 2001

As I saw George Bush move off into history on Tuesday I thought about what was happening in my life 8 years ago when he took office.

I checked out my Christmas letter for 2000 and my journal for that time.

At work, there was the usual struggles of a lot to do and dealing with the people that I was working with. We were in limbo with the library accommodation as we were doing major renovations. The chief librarian who had been on leave for 2 years was not expected to return. We were quite supportive of each other and I missed her.

Bishop had moved into his new barn just before Christmas. It was very nice for him and a long awaited development for the stables.

My mom was doing fine after 2 cataract surgeries the year before.

Interesting too when I fast forwarded to the end of 2001. My mom was struggling with health issues after having major surgery in July. The chief librarian returned to work in December. It was good to have her back even though she was only working a few days a week. The library did move in April 2001 and we were enjoying our new space.
