Long day. Loooong day. But I'm here at last, having triumphed over the new online catalog system, grouchy customers, hundreds of summer reading program t-shirts, and one slice too many of a delicious hummingbird cake.

( I'll take mine with a pinch of punctuation, a twist of nostalgia, and the slightest breath of divinity, thank you. )
