Ooftah

*got my three weekly allergy shots
*Filled a garbage bag with unneeded stuff from the studio.
*maneuvered loosely spaced items clearing three shelves for books in the studio
* put up Manga auctions.
* did a load of laundry

We'd purchased 16 bags of books (for resale on ebay) in the past 2 weeks. Our reserved space for the books was overflowing BEFORE the 16 bags were purchased... Our living area was inundated...

I spent yesterday just sorting through the historical romances... (pirate.. medieval... regency.... old west... native american.... elizabethan... georgian... gothics... neither fish nor fowl... )

Today, I took photos of the auction lots created....

*sorted the contemporary romances (romantic suspense... romantic comedy... plain old romance... Arabesque...) took photos.

*sorted Children's paranormal/fantasy books, took photos.

*sorted Paranormal Romances (vampires/weres dark contemporary.... paranormal historical.. Time Travel... futuristic.. Psychic/Ghost... )

*sorted the mysteries (British Cozy... British non-cozy... detective... women sleuths... historical mysteries - Victorian.. Historical Mysteries-ancient... Historical Mysteries- '20s '30s '40s... Cozy- antiquities... Cozy-culinary... cozy cat... cozy dog... Police... suspense.. thriller... FBI/CIA... mysteries set in Italy (4 of them)... mysteries set in the west.... ) took photos

*sorted science fiction (comedy... military... women authors.. star trek next generation.. star trek original series.. star trek voyager... star trek DS9... Star wars... ) took photos

*sorted fantasy (women authors.. classic... Men authors.. World Building... Individual quest... Tolkein... ) took photos

I didn't touch the 'sweet' romance (no overt eroticism), the hard covers, or the Westerns.

Why do so much? I had a time limit. I ran out of the pain killer that alleviates the muscle-burning part of the pain... I doubt the doc will get it refilled until after the 4th. So it was get the books processed today or not until a few weeks from now. Now I have it set up so I can process the photos, and put up books for 3-4 weeks without needing to do the more physically demanding sorting.

Tomorrow is all about relaxing, and doing fun stuff, like knitting Lynn's new Colorjoy pattern, making another baby sassy bag (another new Lynn Colorjoy pattern) and watching tv. I may even read a book or two..
