Organization!

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 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.)( details )
