I still woke A. up in stages starting at a little before 11. I walked with M. I further encouraged A. to get up around midnight. I finally got the 7’ x 3’ bookcase in the dining room (it was moved from the upstairs hall during the pandemic when the treadmill moved from my office to the hall, and so two bookcases needed a new home) about half empty, which seemed like Empty Enough to replace it with the smaller, nicer bookcase (also from the upstairs hall, removed and put in the garage much more recently so wallboard could navigate the upstairs hall to the attic room renovation). I had to empty the rest of the case to the dining room table, then we moved the one from the garage to the kitchen, and then finally the one from the dining room to the garage, where I listed it on FB Marketplace. The B’s definitely don’t want a 7’ bookcase, so this seemed like a way to finally get another bookcase completely out of the house. It has been a real struggle negotiating getting rid of bookcases, which is weird, because only the kids read paper books anymore, and then only very occasionally.
I have been noticing a lot of free bookcases — nice ones, too! — listed on FB marketplace. It used to be difficult to find used bookcases at reasonable prices. Apparently not any more. It’s another sign of the transition from p-reading to e-reading.
After listing the big case (we dusted and vacuumed, obviously), I put the shelves into the smaller case and put all the stuff that was in the big case into the small case. Woot! It all fit!!! Most of it is lego kits I haven’t done yet. I doubt this will motivate me to actually put lego together, because right now I’m in a feverish speedrun to take apart and give away as much of the existing-on-display lego as I can convince myself to get rid of.
ETA:
I’m assembling the Lego Sunflowers! Woot! And someone has already come down to pick up the bookcase. Soooooo awesome. Also, R. made pulled pork, so I had a lovely lunch, and he’s now working on installing the curtain rods in the new attic room. Very Good Day!
