Ugh

[gwynhefar]

Walmart's "new and improved" put-it-together-yourself bookcase is anything but. It's supposedly easier because it comes with some of the pieces already put together, but I found that it just made adding the rest that much more awkward. I spent twice as long trying to get that thing put together than I did last time I got one of the old ones, and my back is making me pay for it today (all muscular, nothing to worry about medical-wise, but damn painful and making getting other things done difficult). I've hit a point in the whole unpacking thing where putting stuff away just isn't fun anymore. Also, I've put away most of the stuff I actually use on a frequent basis and all of the boxes that were in the way, so now it's just so tempting to leave the rest for later. Maybe I'll try and get some books unpacked today, if my back ever loosens up. I do so love putting things in alphabetical order, and I get a deep sense of satisfaction from organising books (hence the whole librarian thing), so maybe that will get me back in the unpacking mood.

We just bought some bookcases today. They are still in the car because there isn't room to put them in the house yet and my electric screwdriver needs to to charge up.

We had incentive for unpacking - silme's family arriving 5 days later.
