Tuesday, I arose at 7 am after pouring my coffee! I started my
day, first I check for overnight orders. I had several to locate and ship. Once
that is completed I usually grab a bite to eat and continue with a few computer
chores.
95 boxes of books against the wall 95 boxes of books take one down
and toss it around 94 boxes of books.
Since closing my flea market booth I have been sorting storing and
cataloging various books. My goal is to get 25-30 books listed each day.
Granted most of the books I am listing first are the hard cover books. The
paperbacks I may do a mass up load once I manage to get to them.

Ooh la la cookbooks!

More cookbooks!
Well I do not quite toss it but I do dust inspect complete listing
information give it a final dust and hopefully photograph before shelving. So
far I have shelved many I need to photograph, just to make room! I think I have
managed to list 608 books since closing my booth!
In the meantime I got a notice all listings need more attributes
filled out! Luckily they have an exclamation mark for identification. I
finished revising one category of listings now I am working on the second, then
I will do the third.
Well Tuesday about 12:30, Pat, a local real-estate agent, stopped
by and asked if I had gotten a call from Marilyn, I had not. Pat mentioned
Marilyn was closing on her own house. Pat had customers who would like to see
mine about 3:30. I showed her the stacks of books; they had spread outside of
my workroom into the family room and dining room as I sorted them. Now the
challenge was on how did I make this place look good in 3 hours with somewhere
around 8,000 books all over the place.

After weeks of just books, the impetus was there. I grabbed the
broom and swept under the processing table, I move cleaned boxed paperbacks
under the table from the family room and dining room. Dishes, counters,
bathrooms, floors, bed made, surfaces, dusted, moved laundry, folded cloths,
and tossed the ironing back into the empty dryer! My house looked bigger the workroom
smaller!
The showing took place and I will contain my books! Luckily all
boxes are now numbered as I refill them with the cleaned books! The big mistake
I made when I packed the booth up not numbering and recording what was in each
box. (Of course I did not actually have time to do that before I loaded the
truck.
Why did I put the house up for sale? My husband fell down the stairs;
I need a home more wheelchair friendly.
One with a larger workroom.
I though I had posted this a few weeks ago.
