I had a massage scheduled this weekend with a provider who requires 24 hours’ notice for cancellations on pain of forfeiting the (not inconsiderable) cost of the service.
The provider cancelled it--with a mere six hours notice--the day of, through a peppy voicemail message to the effect of: “Hello, we're calling to cancel. We’re keeping your payment as a credit so you’ll need to reschedule—and we’re booked solid through the end of next week—BYEEE!!” I was not amuse.
The weather being both humid and drizzly, I spent the weekend engaged in book cataloging. Way back in the day, an elementary school teacher I very much looked up to mentioned that she kept a notebook listing every book she ever read. And from that day on, so did I...even after getting my lifetime LibraryThing membership in ‘06.
This weekend I began backing up all the reading dates from said notebooks to LT (having already cataloged everything I’d read and owned when I first got the membership). The notebook I’m working through now has my reading history from August 23, 1994 to August 27, 2001, or 10 days before I left for Japan.
And because I was in an organizational mood, I reorganized many of the bookshelves and made a masterlist of all the language learning materials (written and audio) I have for various languages, with an eye toward systematically working my way through all of them and getting rid of at least some of them.

I love organizing my bookshelves not only do I get to clean a bit but I also get to revisit all my favorite books.

Yes, exactly! And somehow, just seeing them in new configurations on the shelves is fun in and of itself.
