#sriracha.txt #bugs cw #i'm so scared they're going to be infested with booklice because they've been sitting in cardboard boxes in a garage in florida #for a decade.. through all the rain and leaks and whatnot.. #i saw that some people mentioned freezing the books on a cycle to kill them but we simply do not have the freezer space for this :( #i have <1.5 gallon ziplocs worth of space in the freezer.. i also saw some people mention they bake them at like 150 for 4 hours #which is a more appealing concept bc the other process takes like.. over 48 hours per batch #BUT. i also read it can be difficult to maintain the inner temperature of an oven and i'm afraid of ruining these books #so. rrrrrrrah! #i think i will drop by the library on monday and ask them for their thoughts. this book thing has had me executive dysfunctioned out of #working on storage for like... 4 months now. which is insane. $800! there are other aspects that contributed to the lack of progress but #just. being out of my depth here has had major pull haha #anyways sorry. i just needed to vent for a moment bc i don't have anything to work on now except storage which. grrr i hate working on it #</3 but it needs to be done! and i'm down to like.. 55 boxes! i can do it!! i just Need to Do It ykwim
