Shelf reading

[silver_chipmunk]

That's what I did for most of the day, the children's non-fiction 600 to 999. I didn't get all the way through, only to the 930s, so I guess I'll finish next week. The Kid called me and we talked for awhile.

Anyway, after work I came back home but first went to the little grocery and got milk and green tea ice cream, which they had again, after a long time of not.

Came home, the book I'm expecting is still not here, but I checked the tracking and it should be here tomorrow.

Skyped the FWiB, he had to get off after about a half an hour, and then get back on a bit later and finish our conversation.

After that I had dinner, and then watched the Thurber reading. There were technical issues, not sure if on his end or mine, but I saw most of it. Then I called Middle Brother. He's doing fine.

Put on Kenny and Tommy's Live Jukebox, and listened to that while I read my internet stuff, and had some of the ice cream. Then I called Oldest Brother and talked to him. The good news is that Aunt Helen is back home again.

And that brings me up to the present moment.

Oh, the crossposting was out again yesterday. We'll see about today.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Aunt Helen better.

3. Green tea ice cream is back.

4. Air conditioning.

5. My brothers are doing well.

6. The Kid.

Why is it you read the books? Just to be familiar with them, or looking for something to note?

No, shelf reading isn't reading the books. It means reading the shelves, getting the books in proper order. Boring (though it does give you an idea of what you have) but necessary for someone to do. And now that we will no longer have a page who can do it (due to the NYC budget crises caused by the pandemic), we'll all have to chip in.

Ohhhhh I gotcha! That makes sense.
