FILES ON TOP OF FILES

I have developed a unique method of filing important papers.

(And why the heck shouldn't it be "aN unique method"? It isn't, but I don't know why)

I stick it in a manila folder (why "manila"? Because they originally were made from manila hemp), and file it under whatever file folder strikes my fancy at the moment.

So a lot of things get stuck in "family", if it has something to do with anyone I'm related to - "animals" is about the animals, etc. etc. etc. (and why is it okay to use repetitive etc. when it usually isn't?).

But "Church" ends up holding the ward directory, RS lists and compassionate service assignments - but "food storage" has it's own file.

Why does rental property end up under "rental" instead of "2048 Santa Rosa"?

I have no answers - I just know I'll end up retrieving it if I leave it as such.

A MILESTONE

Today I finished things.



I did the laundry - and hung it up - and put in the closet - and cleaned the washer and dryer.

I started invitations for a church event - and designed them - and addressed them - and printed them - and put them in the envelopes - and sealed them.




I took a pile of papers that have been sitting on my desk for several decades - and filed them - and created new files as necessary - and acted on the ones that needed action - and got the entire pile taken care of.



Well, almost all of them.

Mark this date in history - it may never happen again.
