Good morning, afternoon, night to my readers. My plans for today

My husband purchased a new bookshelf last month to put all his videos on in our spare bedroom where he has his computer at present. It was going to be my room to hide my messes out of the main areas but when I didn't move in there fast enough he took over the best place for plugging everything in. I don't know if he even remembered that I talked about moving my computer in there or not. Before moving the bookcase in there I would need to take out the glider I got from my mom and clean a bit. I finally did that yesterday for an hour or so and went through papers to put into the shred pile. I didn't get right on it because I thought I should still move into that room but eventually decided against that because we'd both be on the same electrical circuit and that may not be good. Instead I may get my XP cleaned and set that up so any of us can play Riven again. Riven is an interactive game. It can only be played on older systems, unfortunately. Now I'm hoping to move my couch where the bookcase was do I can move the glider near the front window where my couch currently is. That will give us more floor space again. If the tapes we have in here fit on the bookshelf he bought them maybe I can eliminate the shelving unit it's on for more room too I may try to provide a picture of the glider and the old and new shelving units if it works. The image on the left is the new shelf, the one on the right we've had for over twenty years and holds videos and CDs and junk. The bottom photo is the glider which needs dusting.

Relaxing is always good. I've been relaxing a lot since the beginning of November since I'm off work for a few months. Now I need to begin doing a few things too while I have the extra time.

Well it will work out for him. Not sure whether it will fit everything we have but that remains to be seen. He got a large tote/storage box from his dad with old movies in it. Maybe now we can looking through those and decide if any are worth keeping it not and get it out of that room. I may have to work in that.

Little by little. I got the couch moved an hour ago. Now I need to go through boxes and stuff to see what needs to be kept, thrown away or shredded. I have papers in three rooms to check. Not sure how much I will get done while home

@arthurchappell well, that depends on who does it. I may unload the videos and CDs my husband got from God dad and put them on it and then he can go through them at his leisure. I'm sure he won't do that right away but I could be wrong.

Your new shelf is very nice, it's similar to those we have placed in the space under the stairs to store books.

We have shelves built in under out stairs in the basement but we use that to keep extra supplies for our business. It's pretty Dusty under there not a place is store books.

@LadyDuck Your area under the stairs is also very large. No wonder you are able to keep your books clean and dry there.You even have room to move around the area. I could take a picture of our area under the stairs, but I don't want to fall getting back there to clean a bit beforehand. Our area is probably a little longer than that section in the back here which looks like a hall to another area? Anyway, ours is slightly longer than that but possibly not as wide. Our house did come with quite a bit of closets in odd places and built in cupboards in the hallway upstairs. I do have a bookcase in the laundry room that my brother built for my sister years ago, but she gave it away later. We've taken it with us from house to house and it holds books we don't look at much.

Yes. It was a bit more 'whew.' than I expected, actually. Years ago I moved the furniture around monthly but not so much in recent years. I got the couch moved but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I had to sort of sit or lean against the side and push with my bottom as the strength to push going forward just wasn't there.

so you collect a lot of CDs, it looks like it's very interesting, and what I like most is neat in arranging it

Most of them are videos as we don't go to the movies very often.
