For the last few months I’ve been going through stuff in the house. I think it was October when Thor and Xander came and hauled away all the boxes I’d filled. I think I blogged about this effort the end of October. In any case, it’s stuff that’s GONE.
Just this past
week, I was unable to find two pieces of paper I thought I needed, i.e., the
property tax valuation card and the property tax notice. The excellent result
of this fruitless search was two bags of shredded documents and clean files to
begin 2026. Imagine my chagrin when I unclipped the papers that required these
documents only to discover both documents attached behind. To add insult to
injury, once I read over the document I planned to fill out, it became clear I receive
too much money to qualify for old age assistance. Ah well.
What brought me
to write this post was one of the finds I made while searching…Kuma’s baby
teeth. There they were, at least the ones I found/saved in a little plastic
envelope. Looking at those and comparing them to his adult teeth, it doesn’t
seem possible Kuma was ever that small. I don’t have all of them, only eight
and am wondering if I couldn’t turn them into a piece of jewelry? You know,
encase them in clear liquid plastic and make a bracelet or earrings. Seriously,
do you know anyone who has their puppy’s baby teeth in some kind of format like
this? Me neither…perhaps I could start one of those do it at home businesses I
read about on Facebook.
In the process
of cleaning out drawers, I also pulled out all the connecting cords for I don’t
know how many electronic devices. I’m sure I don’t even own some of the
recipient pieces. They’re currently in a big pile on the counter with the exception
of two which I was smart enough to identify at some point. I guess I need to spend
a bit of time figuring out which cord goes to which gadget and eliminate the
ones that no longer have a partner.
Ah, the joy in
my life is simply indescribable…can you tell???
