So I have spent the afternoon purchasing pink and yellow sponges, cutting them into sensible pieces, stuffing said sponges into slits, and spreading water putty on these sponges like hummus on neon ladyfingers. And so I have a little bookshelf-nook now, or will once I finish sprucing it up fully. Still putting off the paperwork, if only for a little while, as I seek to get my bearings and clean up this house, as the eventual arrival of me bed will require me to actually move around some furniture.
