Maggie Rules
Well I guess Maggie WAS lonely. She woke me up three times in the night! It has been ages since she whined at me to get up or came up the stairs to the bedroom to get me! And all day, she kept hounding me for food...and I came running! It's easier than arguing with her.
After yesterday and little sleep I was indeed tired, but for some reason I had the energy to attack the craft room and really try hard to throw some things out. I chose my memorabilia bins - I do not know where I got the courage to attack those! They are a toughie. Yikes - a lifetime of memories..photos from my teaching days and my time at TVO, photos of kids I taught, teams I coached, photos from my own school days, university course results, graduation programs, teaching certification papers, old resumés and letters...from me to my family and to me from friends, every card my daughter ever sent me, special Christmas cards made by friends, good-bye notes and cards from students...it just goes on and on and all of it so hard to part with...I spent the entire afternoon and all evening in that craft room struggling to let go ....
And yes... I did throw out a lot but those bins still need a second weeding; whilst doing that, I shall chant " My daughter does not want my stuff"! In fact, no-one wants my stuff.... so if I am saving it for posterity, just throw it out! NO- ONE wants it!
