Cleaning once again

riariSo, after a fruitful shopping trip to Ikea yesterday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarcastic_elf, I am now starting to clean off a bookcase to put a new one in its place. And just the first shelf alone tells me this is going to be a doozy. This is the bookcase I've had for years, and as such, it was the first place I stuffed things to get them out of the way. There's another one next to it that has to move today too and that one's even worse. (Though I have made some effort to clean it in previous years.)
I have hopes to move two bookcases, take out my dresser and replace it with a shelving stand and have a place to hopefully put most of my books. (Need to sell some.) It's going to be a busy day and why did I get a late start on it...
*sigh*
*runs off to clean while trying not to sneeze at the layers of dust*
ETA: Well, it's midnight and I have to stop working. The two bookcases are clean and out of the way...mostly. The table is full of books and small figures. The chairs are full of miscellany that I need to sort through (and buy organizers since some of this stuff is jewelry and costume items). I'm using one moved bookcase to hold the books from the other bookcase and so on. Oh god do I need to sell/get rid of some books. I'm highly tempted to recycle all of the Asuka and Chara magazines I have on hand since June is too far away to wait to sell them.
And I just found my first known duplicate purchase - of Terry Brook's Shanara series. I have purchased newer versions of books I now know that I already own. And I thought I sold my two books of the Wheel of Time series but I'm looking at them right now. So those are going to be sold off. And the hardcovers of a Mercedes Lackey series that if I want to re-read (which I did like that one...mostly) I can buy the paperbacks for cheap. (If I don't have them already buried somewhere...) And I DID buy V for Vendetta! I thought I did!!
I have a feeling that I'm going to be sorting books and finishing Tuesday. There's a dresser still to be moved and taken to storage, two bookcases to be put together and arranged while hoping that they all fit. Then moving all the books and figures and what not around. Erg. So much dust... But Traby is put together and it's looking good so far. I think I am going to have to get that second section of it to put the game consoles in... I think.
