I finally have effective display cases. This brings me much joy

requiemsI have played enough stadium this season to have racked up another 3k comp points... the day before drives. ( stadium tl;dr. Ashe galactic IMMINENT )
Furniture update! Doors went on my bookcases this week. This... was more complicated than it needed to be: whilst I was moving shelves around myself (which is actually very simple and easy and shockingly a delight that I can capably do it physically, a 1/100 thing tbqh), I tried to add in some additional shelves I bought only to discover the pins to hold the shelves in place did not fit. My Billy's are, it turns out, pre-2014 Billy's, despite being bought in summer 2014. Ikea does warn this, but it says spring 2014, and July is, y'know, not spring. So, lol.
This was not only a pins not fitting problem but the pre-2014 Billy's have less holes than current Billy's do, so attaching doors isn't possible unless you do the diy and manually make them. Fortunately my dad could do the diy, but it took many more hours than initially expected, so new bookcases to replace my desk are going to have to be next time.
I put all my books back in Monday night. Very speedy without having to clean or move things in the way first. I'm waiting on shelf pins for the remainder, when I can slowly go through returning everything else and reorganising the cupboard parts for hygiene stuff. Once I've emptied out the 4x4 kallax and sent everything back to its Billy home, it'll be time to tackle cleaning everything on the original 5x5 kallax, in anticipation of the inserts that'll be getting... slowly getting there. The bookcases were arguably hardest and they look so much better now. And the best part is they're ✨dust free✨.
Also we're getting Tales of Xillia (but not 2, boo) in October and I am SO READY FOR MILLA THAT'S MY GODDESS GIRL she's perfect I love her. To celebrate I got her alter out after probably ten years and put it on my shelf. :3 she is free from her PS3 jail.
Not Ludger though. He has to stay in the box.
