…just household stuff and scrapbooking stuff and trips-to-the-dentist stuff (Hambet had a good checkup, and I’m realizing that I don’t remember the last time I was at the dentist… wonder if I can look it up in the archives….)
\nToday I assembled a cheap bookcase to handle our book overflow. It went pretty well but I think the next time I go for something like this I want to stick with IKEA — those little locks with the Allen wrenches are a lot easier to handle than the things on this model.
\nHambet was very interested in the whole operation and was begging to help, but unfortunately his version of “help” involved scattering teeny parts all over the place and begging to use the hammer. He got his chance when I went to get the phone and left the hammer unattended for a fatal moment — when I came back he was going right to it, carefully imitating the way I had tacked the back piece (the big flat part) onto the bookshelf frame. Alas, he had not noticed that I was only driving the nails into the edge, and was cheerfuly whacking away driving nails through the middle. So now the back of our new bookshelf has a constellation of nail holes in the back. Right at eye-level too.
\nSo now I’m transferring stacks of books from the closet onto the new bookshelf, and it’s the kind of task that always takes me way too long — I start opening the books, and flipping through them, and thinking about which one I want to read next, and wondering which ones I should let go of, and coming up with a new scheme for organizing our books — the whole Gentle Madness thing.
\nBut I should get going — only 45 minutes until the Iron Chef hour (the hour in which I stare into the freezer wondering what I’m going to make for supper tonight.)
\nMeanwhile, dear husband Posco has a big decision to make in the next few days; I would be grateful for prayers for discernment. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
