byslantedlightSo this was a tricky day. As I was waking up and thinking randomly, as you do, and lazily planning what to do for the day, I suddenly realised that what I might need to do to try and combat the damp in the bedroom was rearrange bookcases... because as I stared at the corner, I realised that I could fit another bookcase along the inside wall, and I probably only hadn't because I'd been trying to maximise the number of shelves by being able to put stuff on top too. And it would mean I could move the bookcase out of the nasty problematic corner too... Which would, in fact, make me quite happy. *g*
So I went from this to this... added bonus that I can access my Pros/fandom shelves and my books more easily. Why didn't I think of that before?!
I guess it makes the room feel a little smaller, but I don't spend alot of time in there... and I do like looking at bookcases full of books. And fic. *g*
Less happily, it turned out there was another nasty damp patch on the back of the wall, and a gentle fluff of green on the back of the bookcase, so I had to clean that. Then, being me, I had to move the books from the other bookcase to the new one at the end of my bed, because then they'd run around the room starting from A, rather than in an alphabetical muddle (shush...), and since I was taking the books off it anyway, I thought I'd better move the other-corner bookcase and check and clean behind it - and although the wall looks fine, there was white mold on the bottom of the bookcase - waaah! So I had to deal with that too, and then it needed to dry overnight, so ack for mess of a room to go to bed in!
Luckily there were other happy things to think of - reading fic in the garden, and then discovering these odd tall purple flowers, growing randomly wildly beside my sitting-out garden! *g*
(Anyone know what they are?)
And the deep blue of these flowers always makes me happy. *g*
How about you - what's making you happy this weeknd?

I'm sure I should re-pot them or something, but then I always hate to disturb them when they're being so... blue!
