dreadfulpenny1) I'm getting an ebook reader at some point in the near future. Moving hundreds of books is HARD WORK.
2) We're selling the couch and investing in large, inflatable furniture.
2b) "Inflatable" is more difficult for me to type than it should be. I blame longer-than-comfortable fingernails and cold medicine (I took allergy medicine to combat all of the dust that's being stirred up and sinus medicine to assist with the migraine that was attempting to brew).
3) Mostly the ebook reader. And it's for more reasons than just the "moving hundreds of books" excuse. Most of my books are (tragically) already in storage. If I get a Kindle or one of it's cousins, I can read THE STAND comfortably and not aggravate my already-tender wrist/arm. I learned this last night at the laundromat. I was reading THE STAND on my iPhone and it was surprisingly comfortable and easy. I got just as wrapped up in the story as I would have if I'd been reading a paper copy. And it didn't hurt. That was the magical part.
4) No more second-floor dwellings ever. If at all possible. I've made over a dozen trips to the car in the last hour and I'm wiped out. Thankfully it's not as hot as it could be.
5) I HAVE NO BUSINESS READING 'THE STAND' IN THE FIRST PLACE, OMG YOU GUYS. It has nothing to do with the moving, I just wanted to throw that out there. Plagues and what not are horribly frightening to me. And I work in health care, dispensing the drugs that people need to combat those plagues. I'm in the early stages of the book, and the town of Arnette has just been visited by the lovely Campion family. Those of you who've read it know what I'm talking about. *shudders*
Anyway. Back to work, I guess.
