Staycation Vacation and Reading Challenge Update

 Since I work as a digital service librarian for a rural library system, I've been working  non-stop since the library's building closed in late March. In order to give myself I work reset, I decided to take a week-long vacation last week. Due to COVID-19, we decided to not travel too far and instead spent most of our time at home or taking short day trips.

On the first day of my staycation vacation, hubby and I dropped off our mail in absentee ballots to our nearby election ballot box. After, that, I went home and uploaded my race events to the new racemob running website. 





On the third day of my staycation, hubby and I took a day trip to Salinas to try the new plant-based unchicken sandwich which is being tested at select Jack in the Box restaurants. The sandwich comes in classic and spicy flavors and is topped with non vegan mayo, lettuce and tomato. I ordered the classic unchicken sandwich without the mayo while hubby ordered the spicy unchicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce and tomato.

After leaving Jack in the Box, we decided to drive to Moss Landing State Wildlife Area where we enjoyed eating fried artichoke hearts from the Giant Artichoke Restaurant in Castroville.

Lastly, while enjoying a week vacation, I was able to finish three books for the two reading challenges that I'm currently doing which are the 2020 52 Books in 52 Weeks Reading Challenge (40/52) and the 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge (39/50.) All in all, my weeklong staycation vacation was just what I needed to get a much needed professional reset before heading back to work as we begin our new contact-free library pickup services on Monday, October 26.
