Hey, wanna buy my books?
I'm starting to sell off some of my knitting & quilting inventory in terms of books. You can check out what I've listed so far. They're all basically NEW i.e., I bought them new, I have flipped through them a few times but never used them, they have no markings inside, and have been stored in a smoke-free, pet-free home. Since they have been sitting on the shelves and having various knick-knacks piled around them and some made the move from NYC to Chitown, there are a few whose covers curl or dustcovers have small tears. But otherwise they are basically NEW. Since I have no idea what to expect, I just priced them all at half what Amazon is selling them for and we'll see what happens.
There are more to come...

In other news, while I am still in a lot of pain, things with my shoulder/arm are continuing to improve - in fact, they've improved more in 5 post-surgery PT visits than in THREE MONTHS of pre-surgery PT. So that is quite encouraging despite some weirdness like white cotton strings coming out of my incisions (no NOT from stitches - a) didn't have stitches and b) stitches thread is completely different than this as I know from previous experience having stitches).
I would love to be in no pain but I guess those days are still in the future.

And last but not least, school starts again on Monday! I'll be there M, T and Th nights this semester. And I have an interview! For one of the 90 zillion assistantships I've applied for in the last year (that's an exaggeration because at least part of the problem with finding an assistantship is thanks to the economy there are no grants so there are no assistantships so each one has 97000 applicants), the only one I've gotten an interview for. So hopefully I won't flub it up too drastically other than not looking very "interview-y" since none of my clothes fit. Hi, I'm fat, please hire me!
That's all for now, folks. Hope you are enjoying the heat because I'm surely not.
