Argh!

I just hate paperwork! Recently I purged the filing cabinet and reorganized it to better sort and store records for the rental unit. There always seems to be so much emotional energy connected to it, and I think it's partly the archaic stuff. Sorting through older wills and mortgages, loans and marriage certificates is just so draining. So much regret for so many mistakes.

So it's not surprising that I used Daniel's visit this week to postpone actually sorting out the papers to go back into the cabinet. While I sorted and shredded a whole large bag when I was removing stuff, there were many piles still sitting, waiting for me to be ready.

I planned to get at it earlier today, but ended up relaxing and reading most of the afternoon. I did eventually get it started and it's probably 80% done. I have learned from past experience if I go longer than I feel able, it's no longer productive, so I will attempt to finish tomorrow.

I enjoyed catching up with the 3 amigos, minus 1 who was at a party, after their camping trip. Reminds me of our camping adventures when mine were little!

Thanks for kids who are good parents. Thanks for small doses of difficult chores. Thanks for plenty. Thanks for the beautiful pottery bowl I found for Jen today at a garage sale.

Love, elly
