My husband and I cleaned the desk and filing cabinet today. The filing cabinet was in the basement unused and full of stuff from way back into the 90's from before the kids were born. You know the junk, old stubs from credit cards, old information from jobs, old doctors' bills and statements, and the like. All useless junk, taking up space. The filing cabinet will be a great asset when I pay the bills, I won't have a folder on the desk, misshappen and bulging and out of any sensible order. I hate to have to search for an account number when calling the cable or phone company, they are waiting on the line and I am searching looking like a disorganized idiot bubble head! So now, all of the utilities will have their own folders, and will get filed as soon as I pay them. That way, this disorganized bubble head won't have notebooks and folders all over the place. Hey!!!! I didn't say I wasn't a disorganized bubble head, I just said I didn't want to look like one! No seriously, we put the shredder to good use and got rid of EVERYTHING that wasn't relevant to what we are doing right now, kind of put the past and its mess to bed. It feels good, and I know that my husband feels good that the job was well done.
We are in the process of thinking about redoing our kitchen and bathroom. They are both falling apart and if we don't do something soon, the kitchen cabinets will be on the floor, and the bathtub will be in the basement. Our windows are so leaky that you sit on my couch and can feel the breeze on your neck on a windy day, too shabby.
I also did something out of character today. I took a little nap. I never do that, but today, I just felt the need. I guess it wsa valid, so I didn't kill myself about it. My attitude is that if I need to do something, my body will tell me and I will do it, end of story. It is a necessary evil in my world right now. My body tells me to get up at 2am sometimes, and doesn't want to go back to sleep, so..........if it needs a nap on a Saturday afternoon, I guess I will listen.
I guess this was my inspiration for the day, nothing too exciting, just wanted all to know that I am still here.

Glad to know you are still there! It's good to get rid of un-needed stuff and put that filing cabinet to good use!
I feel like you do about naps. I don't take them much but if I need to I will. Today is a day like that. I feel the need!
A saturday afternoon nap can't be beat, and I'm glad you got one. I hope you don't tackle the kitchen AND the bathroom at the same time. We're just fininshing up our bathroom and I can't believe the way it disrupted our usual mess.
When you're done going thru old papers I've got about two weeks of work for you.
We are fininshed with the old papers Cliff, worked thru that day, am now organizinf new papers! Isn't it strange how we hold on to things that really just aren't relevant and have no sentimental value?
Rachel, thanks for stopping by, I am trying to put the cabinet to good use, it seems to fit in for now!
OK, you've motivated me to muck out MY home office. It seems I'm doing that every six months or so.
You sure have rolled your sleeves up taking on the kitchen and bathroom, too. Have fun with the projects. ;)
I need to do that in my house too. I am a disorganized bubble head. I have everything in boxes! E gads!
