I can't figure it out but I just haven't found the motivation to do much of anything besides sort and resort my books.
You see, my bookshelf is going to be used for baby storage. Much like everything else in my room that has any kind of storage use except for a few of the drawers in my dresser... which also needs sorted as I still have clothes that I wore in... oh I don't know... my 98lb (bout 44kg for you metric bloopers) days. I need to sort that shit out too lol.
The problem is... I have A LOT of books.
You might say I'm a book hoarder... or at least borderline.
Reading is my escape from things... stress and stuff... I've been retreating into lots of my "Mr. Darcy" books and a few others lately. You know the rewrites of Jane Austin's classics that show the guys' point of view or a more "snugly" version of the Darcy's (or whomever since there's more than a few about my other favorite male character Colonel Brandon) life after marriage.
makes me think that there's still a chance for True Love I guess.
I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.
I am going to be keeping quite a few. They're probably going to live in a safe dry spot in the basement so that I can still run down and grab one when I feel like running away.
But a lot are going to be sold too.
Rough estimate... I have about 300ish... that live in my room currently I mean.
And I''m not counting the boxes that are already in the basement because they won't fit on my shelf.
I had to limit what was in my room because I have a pretty small space... and you know I have to be able to fit in there with all the books too.
So I have a very small select list that was taking up room on my shelf... would occasionally rotate them out depending on my mood.
Alas it's one of the things that I'm giving up for Squish.
She needs the space more... and Mommy needs the cash. So lots of my books are going to the second hand book store.
And I'm going to take my little brother with me when I sell them so he can keep me from buying too many new ones.
I'm just having trouble sorting because I keep going back thinking "Oh but what if I want to read that again... maybe it should stay..."
And the "Keep" boxes are currently out numbering the "Sell" boxes 2 to 5.
So I need to really sort out my books again.
I'm also currently trying to avoid my mother.
Who for the past three days has criticized what I've been eating, on one hand telling me I'm eating to much, and the other bitching that I'm going to need to put on a few more pounds or my Dr won't me happy at my appointment tomorrow.
I've gained about 15lbs total throughout this pregnancy.
According to my Dr (and my mom's best friend who IS a Dr) that's a healthy gain.
But apparently according to my mother, I'm too fat but I'm not fat enough.
What the hell?
Color me confused... and annoyed.
I'm going to go sort books... and try not to get sucked into reading one while I'm at it.
Sometimes I get distracted. lol
