I can see thru my bookcase!

Well, after packing up more than 10 boxes of books, I should bloody hope so!

Of course, when you have a bookcase the size of a queen-sized mattress and both sides are pretty much filled (the paperbacks in 2 layers), that means a LOT of books. I think this is where I'll call it for now - I still have 2 months to go, and I'll need SOMETHING to read!

Labeliing was the boxes was fun:
History - General and Medieval
History - Elizabethan
History - Victorian & misc.
History - pirates & doxies (cuz I wasn't gonna write "whores" on the side of a moving box)

The wine-bottle boxes from the liquor store are just about right for packing books. They are pretty sturdy, and of a size that they are still liftable when full of hardcovers.

I am still coughing but not nearly as much as on Saturday - of course, that may be the dust I stirred up! Mostly just an occasional tightness in the chest.

Cross your fingers and toes for us - we're negotiating for an actual local gig that would be awesome - can't tell details yet but as soon as we know something.

still in Chicago - to "anyplace that doesn't have my landlord". I'm tired of the engineer who can't be bothered to give proper notice of entry under the law.

Plus, I now have an actual job with actual income and a predictable commute. Looking to go up to a 1BR, want to have a place where I can get a bunny, and actually moving further away from the office could cut down my commute (because I could take express trains). So there are a couple of neighborhoods I'm looking at.

Good luck!
