I had thought I'd run some errands but when it gets to the 2nd half of the month I try to not spend any more money than necessary, so I stay home and avoid temptation!
I did get into some of the papers today. I searched the retention of tax returns and found they should be kept for 7 years. I am playing it safe and keeping 10 years' worth, although I might go back and shred a couple more years. I took a bag of shredded paper out to the recycling bin, along with a whole lot of paper that didn't need shredding.
I have a huge number of 3 ring binders with genealogical info and papers, and I don't know who will ever be interested in it, or even understand it all. I'll leave it intact for someone to take care of after I'm gone
I have several plastic bins with maps for every state and region of the country, and I'm going to toss them all! I might keep the Northern CA map but that's it. I also have a lot of National Forest/Park/BLM/etc maps, which I hope Steve will be interested in. I got the state maps free from AAA, but paid for the National Forest and other federal land maps.
The green St. Pat's milkshakes went over pretty well, so fast that I didn't get a chance to take photos. The corned beef and cabbage was superb, as is everything Donald cooks. Someone made adult shakes containing various liquors but I didn't try them. I drank two bottles of beer in 6 hrs., and even drove home in the dark. There wasn't a whole lot of traffic out, but enough to keep me alert. I wish I had a beer now!

I had an appointment to get my hair trimmed today, so I started out early and drove first to a different Costco, not far from the hairdresser. The parking lot was so crowded I parked across the street in the REI lot. Costco was very crowded...

Jeannie and I got all the recycling out of her garage, sorted it, and took it to the recycling center. Both the little girls have savings accounts for college, and the recycling money gets split between their accounts. I have always saved...

My youngest son stopped by with his two girls this morning, and it was great to see them. They went to Disneyland last week and the girls had a lot to tell me about the rides they went on. Joe starts back to school next Tuesday. I spent a...

I made a discovery yesterday that makes all the difference in my attitude. I have two scales - the one I have been using is a digital scale and keeps telling me I am about 109#. I stepped on my old reliable scale with a dial yesterday morning...

It could be my imagination but I think my vision is somewhat better today, which makes my mood better as well. I'm glad I asked him to go ahead with the laser treatment when I was there yesterday. Before I even had coffee this morning I decided...
