I wish Vortex could be there for you, too, Cass. She's really good at that (among all her other sterling qualities). Sending both of you hugs.
No such thing as too many books. Although...we did downsize some. And I'm finding libraries and overstuffed bookstores more intimidating and claustro. So maybe "too many" depends on the size of the container.
Someone just called 911 to complain about a funeral procession. "Like, 50 cars and motorcycles with their lights on and three cars at the back with emergency flashers on and they're going really slow and blocking intersections and OMG I almost got in like 3 accidents because of them!!"
I had to relisten to my (partially, stunned) response to make sure I won't get a rudeness complaint for explaining to this girl what a funeral procession looks like and how other cars need to be respectful and maybe find an alternate route if they don't want to be slowed down. Sheesh. I couldn't even make this stuff up.
Vortex, I feel especially guilty about not having had you over yet
No guilt! Not allowed! And for the record, you have invited me over, I just haven't been able to come.
It's possible I have too many books.
I know all of these words, but they don't make any sense together.
Shaking head in an up and down motion at a number of posts, shaking my head in another direction after reading e_o's post.
Oh Cass, I'm sorry to hear you've been a sad place.
Cass, lots of warm thoughts to you.
My problem is not too many books, but insufficient storage.
I've been up early but not as early as I have been , took a nap already. Went to look at an apartment.
Parts of it are super cute. It has a rather big 3 seasons porch. It has tons of storage. Unfortunately living room is the size of a small bed room. The bedroom isn't huge either. In fact I think the porch is the largest of the rooms. There's no way my new couch can fit through the interior doors.
But I was just looking to see what was out there and I'll keep looking. It's just hard to find the right combo of price, location and allows pets.
