new bookshelves!

Yes, I know that getting more bookshelves in order to deal with my book issues is like the old joke about the teuchter who took the oath and never drank another drop of whisky in his life--but discovered he liked brandy very much!
But now I have two new half-height shelves in the bedroom (bringing the household total to five full height and nine half-height bookcases, plus three half-height bookcases for the videos and five shelves for the miniatures and boardgames), and I have almost eliminated all overflow and double stacking! I have two boxes that I brought home from work when I changed jobs, and they contain some books, but I also have a session of shelf-purging slated, so any of the books that I choose to actually keep from the boxes will have room to go on shelves once I eliminate some of the current contents. For instance, I'm really not sure I need to keep my old high school and college yearbooks, especially as I would be hard pressed to recall an instance in the last 20+ years that I've opened them...
I am struggling with a cold. I just wish that the only things I had that kept my feet warm (socks and slippers) weren't also extremely slidey on my wood floors.
Food... I'm thinking food would be good about now...
