RECORD STORE TALES #1206: I Can’t Help the Feeling I Could Blow Through the Ceiling…

 

Two steps ahead, but one step behind?  It’s still progress.  It may not feel like progress, but it is.

In 2024, we had our shelf disaster.   My priceless collection spilled forth unto the ground, knocking my spirits down with them.  But we got back up again and rebuilt.  We rebuilt despite the following furnace replacement, requiring my precious collection to be move again.

Now in 2025, we have prevented yet another shelf disaster.  I returned home from the lake to find another set of shelves slowly peeling from the walls.  I stopped it in time, removed the heaviest items, and prepared to make plans to replace the shelving.  This will be a more difficult task this time, as it will also require me to tear apart my stereo system and place it on the new shelving.  Not an easy task; there are so many cables it’s like black & blue spaghetti.

It’s hard to keep up.  We have so many projects.  We continue to pare things down and get rid of excess possessions.  We continue to clean up and organize.  We continue to replace broken household items.  It’s an uphill climb and the list keeps growing.

New TV, new cable box, new rug, new blinds, new computer, new this & that…

I can’t help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling sometimes.
