Judy that is the way I used to be. Everything was in it’s place. I was doing pretty well into my 70’s. But, taking care of my husband for all those years took a lot out of me and once I started getting short of breath I just couldn’t keep up with it anymore.

It is mostly paper clutter. Here, there, and everywhere. I had started doing ancestry and had it pretty well organized then my oldest daughter started printing out some and giving it to me and there it sits. My son-in-law asked me to save Burger King coupons for him, but he will probably never come to get them so there they sit etc. etc. I started cleaning out file cabinets and I have 3 boxes full to take and be shredded but I still have clutter on the desk trying to decide if I want to keep some things or throw away.

Right now I am having heart burn real bad. I think maybe from the Salsa I ate with my flour tortilla taco. I took a small spoonful of soda but it hasn’t helped.

It is the pits getting old.

It is the pits getting old lol!

When we moved from the big house we built after twenty years there, you wouldn’t believe the stuff that had accumulated! We filled a dumpster.....not a small one, a very large industrial sized dumpster. So much home-school stuff. Paper, books, more paper, stuff from everywhere. Garage, large shed, etc. We used to burn a lot of the garbage as well.

I do understand how it piles up. And I understand getting out of breath and tired. Lots of breaks required.

Hope your heart stops burning!
