I begin to suspect that, if anything, I’m too obsessive-compulsive for this job.

I’m on page 26 and I’ve already listed 153 items and sub-items. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do some crafting once it’s all been done, eliminating redundancies and using cross-references to streamline things.

But really, what I’m hoping is that I’ve already hit the hard stuff, and that this will get easier as I go.
