Ye Olde Bloggens are re-posts of old blogs
by Bridget Eileen - Writer in Providence, Rhode Island 

The following post was originally posted on one of Bridget Eileen’s old blogs: In the Pines, Neophyte Poetics, Bridget Eileen’s Commonplace Book, Dreaming Bridge Designs or A Vegetarian Notebook. They aren’t all fancy with photos and subheadings and search descriptions, or even that much content, sometimes. They’re here for posterity, because it’s fun to read the archives!

Everywhere I look, obligations are screaming out at me. Dishes, dogs, unpacking, laundry, the endless need of errands to be run. I miss my crummy apartment and the lack of domestic responsibility it lent me.
I went to the Tufts Library today. My account was still active because I had a $7 fine. I paid it, then I borrowed two books for the still quite un-done research paper. I also borrowed “Funny Girl” on DVD. Downstairs they were giving away books and selling some at the booksale. I got two first edition novels from the 50s which I’m going to try to sell on eBay. I bought “The Diary of Anne Frank,” a reference book about the Enlightenment and something else. All books cost a total of 60 cents.
Time to finally settle down and get to work. I’m going to Barnes and Noble to do my work. I do miss the Oakes Room though. What’s the Oakes Room? Oh my, I’ve never written about the Oakes Room! Well, next blog entry then.
