This morning I finished alphabetizing our paperbacks, which feels like a major accomplishment: the books had overflowed the bookshelves, and any attempt at organization, I think sometime in the 1990s. The hardcovers came first, and part of the process for the paperbacks was looking at shelves and thinking "no, I want a shelf of paperbacks here, to keep the alphabet at least vaguely in synch." We had to double-shelve almost all our paperbacks, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude is about to buy a couple more spacers in case we need to buy more books and need to double-up the last shelf, rather than culling and freeing more space or at least maintaining a steady state.
At some point I may even alphabetize or otherwise sort the oversized books (we might decide it would make more sense to have reference books separate from art, for example).
Also, after a bit of a gap in exercising because I wasn't feeling up to much, I did a reasonably good workout yesterday. Starting a couple of weeks ago, I've been doing smaller numbers of crunches almost every day, rather than multiple sets as part of a workout, because doing lots of crunches at a time once or twice a week was giving me sore muscles afterwards. (The annoying thing is it took me a few repetitions to realize that it was muscle pain, not about something I'd eaten.)"Small" means I started with six, then after a couple of days eight, and so on. When I got to 15 (which is what I think of as one set of these), the next increment was two sets of eight, then two of ten, until yesterday's workout included two sets of 15, and I did one set of 15 today.
The standing pushups continue to be a thing I do when the opportunity presents itself, which mostly is when I have a few extra minutes at the Bellevue Transit Center, which has wooden railings at a useful height. I have no idea of what they were intended for; I very much doubt it's this. I can do them in the building fitness room, but the railings at the transit center, and the edge of a planter outside my building, both work better than anything in the fitness room at this point of wanting to be closer to vertical than to horizontal.
