Sunday, Day 10

I had a lot of books on the bookshelf in the bedroom. Tom used ALL the boxes and only four shelves have been emptied. We better receive more boxes of books at the bookstore so I can have the empty boxes, or the kingdom will be lost for want of a nail!

Only four emptied shelves (three visible here) of books filled up all the boxes!

But this feels like progress now. Tom worked hard. The CDs are packed up. The cassettes are packed up. Now (most of) the books are packed up.

If only there weren't so many BIG pieces of furniture in the bedroom. We have to take apart the queen-sized bed, the computer desk (with shelves), two dressers, two nightstands, and a TV table. And what about the clock (that doesn't work) sitting on the floor next to the cowgirl boots?

I force Tom to watch the show "Hoarding" to inspire us. Today I read a review in the New York Times of a book about hoarding. I immediately went upstairs and packed two bags of books to donate. I didn't even have to read the actual book (saving me money); just the review sufficed.
