We pay people do to that kind of work here in the library, John. Maybe you can hire yourself out to your local library when you finish your books. And you should encourage LiK to rejoin our discussion - I miss hearing what she's up to. I have a room full of most of the sewing stuff (it used to be spread around more) and I at this point do have all of my books on shelves. Several years ago I took all of the books off of all of the shelves and made a big sorting are a on the large tiles of my living room floor. The A, B, C, etc tiles were piled high but not precarious, and I used extra tiles for M, N, S, T, that had more authors. This allowed me to finally sort and remove duplicates of books and I took several boxes of said dups over to my local half price bookstore to sell.

Finishing a cuppa tea before heading to work. I've assembled a lunch for this, an alternate day, so it's an assemblage that is probably under 500 calories. We keep having cold, almost freezing nights that still engender the metabolic response of "eat, it's cold out," but not as bad a few weeks ago.

My office is looking better now that I look around this morning. I was able to get enough stuff off of a couple of flat surfaces that I can 1) see the desktop in front of my monitor and 2) see the stacks on the other desktop that had so much stuff there that there were piles on top of piles. Now it is a single layer of stacks. This may seem a non-distinct distinction, but I can see a difference.

Tea finished, out the door. Tonight I'm going to scan some of the newspaper articles I sorted and selected last night. They're some of my above-the-fold stories from my years as a reporter, needed for another job applications.
