THIS was gonna be the big weekend that I CLEANED OUT the house, really and for true. But read the subject line - it didn't quite turn out that way:
First off, a lot of the old appliances are still usable - taking them to recycling would be a waste, so I need to Craigslist or similar, which entails a lot more work than simply loading up the car and going.
Also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dotheranon alerted me to the fact that a local Borders was shutting out and selling everything, including fixtures, at deep discounts. I went to check it out but discovered there was no way to fit any of the leftover bookcases in my car. I did come away with a small stack, more than I'd hoped but fewer than I'd feared, and I can justify every single one:
( carnage snipped )
So, yeah - I still have more books than shelf space. If I can move out all the things I'm trying to give away/trade, I might be able to get a small Ikea thang that will relieve the clutter a bit more, but I'm not there yet.
Also spent some quality D. time and cat time on the sofa, watching old M.A.S.H., Spaced, and seeing Robocop for the first time (I was pop culturally undernourished in the futuristic shoot-em-up genre as a kid - I don't think I saw any of the Terminators until sometime in college :P) I cut out D.'s banyan and am going to get the hooks and eyes on the fitted gown this week, by doG, and be finished with it!
Did some footwork yesterday and today because I'm feeling a stupor from lack of exercise. Am VERY eager to get back on my regular 2-3 times a week fencing diet!
