I finished the first pass on the books downstairs today. Three piles: one for hubby to decide if he wants them or not, one for donations, and one for books to keep. The donations pile is somewhere north of 1k books. The keep pile (well, piles) something more like 2k. And the books that migrated upstairs and never found a home downstairs haven’t been touched yet.

On the purely practical side, we signed the mortgage docs today. Home ownership is getting a lot closer. We’re alternating between sober, practical consideration about what’s going where and what to do with our stuff, and panicked meeping.

Right now meeping is winning.
