Getting a fire lit...

alexpgpI found it profoundly difficult to get to work today, so I continued to deal with the bedlam of the move, and other issues, and only managed to finally sit down to work at around 4 pm, and reluctantly, at that. The document, due Monday morning, contains nearly 7,000 words, of which about 2,000 or so have been "pretranslated."
By 10 pm, thanks in part to the repetitive nature of the text, I had whittled the number of words left to translate down to below 1,000. Even the pretranslated text was "cooperative" in that, despite inconsistencies and a number of poor word choices, it has been manageable so far. I plan to finish the file tomorrow morning, as a warm-up exercise.
A built-in bookcase sits at the end of the den opposite to where I set up my work table. There are approximately 50 feet of shelving in the unit, if you don't count the top of the unit, which is about 17 feet long (and which I am trying to keep clear of stuff). So far, between my own books (not too many so far) and books of my parents that I'd like to keep, I have filled more than 2/3 of the shelving.
It's getting late. I should hit the sack. After the immediate document, I have another two documents in the hopper, due at the end of this coming week.
Cheers...
