This is especially true when it comes to my desk and office. In fact my office got to be such a mess that I abandoned it and set up my laptops in other rooms in the house. Well that can only go on so long and today I started day tow of the great office clean up.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not done yet. I&#8217;ll need at least another day but I am at least working in the office now. I made a few discoveries along the way. I found a couple of bills that needed to be paid &#8211; last month. Oops. I found a telephone credit card that had gone missing so long ago that I had actually gotten a replacement card. And it was somewhere I was sure I had looked before. I guess I didn&#8217;t look that well. I also found a $40 gift card to Best Buy. I got it last December while Christmas shopping and misplaced it. <\/p>\n<p>I shred documents with identifing information on them these days so somethings I would have thrown away un opened I now open to see if they should go in the shredder. Opening one such piece of mail I found a refund check for $180 that I didn&#8217;t even know was coming. It came a couple of months ago but it is still good. Thank goodness I found it now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve thrown out a lot of papers and stuff that was just plain old. So much has gone into the shredder that I had to empty it twice. I still have to clean off the desk, a cabanet that I want to replace and there is this stack of things beside the bookcase still to go. But I can vacuum the rug at least and I can walk everywhere I want again. The foton is clear enough not only to sit on but to lay down on. Who knows I may even hook up the TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I belive it was A A Milne (of Winnie the Pooh fame) who said that &#8220;the benefit of being messy is that one is always making interesting discoveries.&#8221; Well I can get pretty messy.
