Wrapping up

[mdlbear]

Back an hour ago from a good practice session at Joyce's; things are coming along. Came up with a nice arrangement for the last verse of "Millennium's Dawn", and decided that, no, I really have to stick to one melody for the men's and women's ending choruses to "Quiet Victories". Good: it's simpler that way.

Spent most of the morning puttering around and ripping CDs. It's comparatively mindless work, except that it requires physical action and attention every 10 minutes or so, so I can't really do anything that requires concentration. Can read LJ. There's also the temptation to immediately go shelve the CD I just ripped.

I did, however, get almost all the CDs shelved, after picking up some 1" angle brackets on the way home from my walk. It's too tight; even with the extra shelf and removing duplicates and convention compilations they won't all fit. However, the stacks near the CD drive are gone, and there's room for more shelves in the corner stack and off to the right, especially if we move cassettes, gaming books, and the like out of the way.

The cassettes all need to be ripped, too. That's another huge project.

On the whole, not a very productive weekend. Lots of puttering done, and I'm glad to have some clutter out of the living room, but still... Sometimes things just get a little overwhelming.

Definately.... I have been working on my tapes for about 5 1/2 years now and I am only about 1/2 way thru them. (At least the OCP collection is mostly done. Its the past few years of finds that are not converted yet..)

Will you be showing me the shelving method sometime when I get back? And did you remember to pick up some brackets for the shelving over the desk in my room?

[mdlbear]

Will do -- it's pretty simple once you understand the categories and how things are alphebetized within categories.

Did not pick up shelf brackets; we'll have to discuss that when you get back.

Life itself is very much a work in progress. As long as it's better than it was, you've come out ahead. [This from a woman whose housekeeping standard is "Can I see the floor?" ;)]

:-)

I have less trouble seeing the floor than I do finding the top of my desk or any other horizontal surface. Or the floor under any horizontal surface, for that matter.

Trouble with life is, nobody gets out alive.
