I dropped my car off for service (check engine light, probably Rex related). Then I walked with M. After that, I worked on filling more bins with books from the shelves (to get rid of). I was trying to get another bookcase cleared off, so we could maybe permanently have the access panels on the third floor accessible (you know, maybe even be able to get at some of the outlets and things, too!).
I did succeed, altho not until much later in the day.
I had a nice, if somewhat abbreviated phone call with K. We'll have a month off from calls (sadness!) due to time zone issues getting Even Worse what with one thing and another.
I got a text from the sitter offering to take A. to the play date, which was canceled. I declined without explanation. I confirmed with A. that that was the correct choice. I had offered to find A. some math on the shelves; she was like, how are you going to do that? She had not realized that all those worksheets in school come out of workbooks, and I buy a lot of books and therefore have grade appropriate math workbooks at home. I got the first sheet of the grade 3 book out, and she definitely wanted to do it, despite having a slow start. She did a bunch of addition, and then we took a break to play with the new Lammily pajamas that had arrived in the mail.
A. wanted to go to Solomon Pond's nail place (I had reminded her of it the other day), so we did that. She suggested dinner after. She wanted to go to the food court. I figured if we did, I'd get something that she would complain about and counter-proposed Crossroads or Horseshoe. Nope. But she did accept the 110 Grille proposal. I even managed to avoid going to Build a Bear. She had the cheeseburger with carrots and celery and berry bowl, with the ice cream sundae for dessert. I had a half rack of ribs with cole slaw and a cucumber and tomato salad. Very yummy.
Once we were back home, I worked on the books a bit more. She chipped a nail, so we had to repair that. I got a second walk (the roughly 2 mile walk that starts like the 3 mile but comes back along the path). And I got the books from the bins into boxes and finished clearing off that book case so R. could move it completely out of the library into the unfinished space for storage until we figure out what we're doing with it next.
My library seems to be well under 700 books now; this round got rid of about 300, mostly being donated to Big Hearted Books and Clothing, but some going to my sister.
