Best laid plans
I went up to shelve a cart of non fiction at my library.
"I don't feel like standing up in the stacks writing a blog post." I thought.
"I don't feel like reading any books." I thought.
"I know what I'll do. I'll shelve this whole, giant, fat cart of non fiction books as fast as I can!"
So I took the first book sequentially on my cart, Basics of Drawing, 741.2 V, and looked for its spot on the shelf.
741.2 B,
741.2 D,
741.2 L,
741.2 K.
So I switched the "K" and the "L" to their proper places.
Then
741.2 R,
741.5 S,
741.2 S.
So I removed the 741.5 S, found its location a shelf and a half down, and shelved it.
Then
741.2 T,
and then there was my spot!
I shelved my book. One down and
Then I wrote this.
Also I couldn't help but notice there was an interesting book of conversations with Flannery O'connor on my cart for when I'm done.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
