Books! Bookcases! What were we thinking?

We were able to buy a couple more 5 shelf bookcases (which are still in Jackie's car).  We figured out a new layout for the library/books and started moving bookcases around.  The DVD cabinets are now under the windows and we will have a wall of 5 shelf bookcases in a U shape on the far wall.  Because pressboard bookcases aren't REALLY meant to hold books like ours, we are reinforcing the shelves.  This requires 2x1 boards cut, pilot holes drilled in boards and shelves, screwing the boards to warped bookcase boards.  This can take some effort!  Paint the reinforcement boards to match the bookcases.

Move bookcases (after moving all books off, of course.  Shim up the bookcases (nothing is straight or level in the house). Replace books - screw the order of the books, we'll figure that out later!

Hands hurt, ab muscles and hernia hurt, back hurts = argh

and for the hell of it, I changed my hair recently - it was blue but it didn't turn out well so..........

You may notice I've lost a little bit of weight this year - 20-25 lbs.  I wouldn't recommend my diet, however. Grief, stress, inflamed hernia and more stress = not a healthy way to lose weight.

and then to help comfort me and make me smile and sometimes laugh..........
