quasigeostrophyPooped.
Let's see... Hauled a crapload of stuff to Half Price Books. Got squat for it, but didn't care - mostly obsolete tech books. Dropped off a big black garbage bag full of clothes and such, and a VCR, at Goodwill.
Came home to find the bookcase I had loaded up yesterday didn't collapse in the middle of the shelf (I was concerned about the bowing pressboard shelf and so put lighter books on the remaining empty one), but rather the plastic pegs in two corners of both the recently-filled top shelf and the middle shelf (which I think gave due to the domino effect) had given into gravity. I was amazed I actually found the little metal ones for sale at Home Despot. Of course, I've never really looked in a hardware store for them before.
Moved the remaining crap that is mine out of the spare bedroom (except from the closet), and organized my camera equipment. I found a place to store it in the basement. While doing so, I was putting some extra film in the small refrigerator down there, and noticed that at some point in time the fridge had defrosted. All of my color reversal 8x10 and 11x14 paper was trashed - soaked through. The other film, B&W paper, and Ilfochrome (for printing from color slides) paper was fine, fortunately. So, I cleaned out that little fridge, made sure the door would close properly, and turned it down a little (colder).
Next, I decided to hang the hand towel ring in the downstairs half bath, and move its towel bar upstairs to the master bath as an additional one there. I still need to spackle and paint over some holes, but that can wait.
Finally, I wanted to see just how heavy my old dresser was. I went down to the basement and pulled out all the drawers, and it was not heavy at all. Cheap, obviously, but it'll hold clothes. Brought it upstairs easier than I was expecting to be able to, and cleaned it up.
Now, I'm going to figure out dinner and find a movie to watch. Slack time...

Was the fridge door open? Did you check the freezer to make sure it was OK, since they're on the same circut?
