Michelle, get lots of rest, both of you! Andrea, do your best to co-exist with the builders and the dust. Kat, it must be even harder to deal with the heat when you're not feeling good, so I'm glad you can get out with Morgan in the mornings, but don't overheat in the afternoons!

I started tossing papers this afternoon. I was looking for something I couldn't find, and stumbled upon some stuff that I really should file and a bunch of stuff I don't need. I have two filing cabinets with stuff from graduate school that goes back 15 years that I haven't looked at for the last 12 years. I am going to recycle the lot of it, with a few choice articles set aside that I know I'll want. It's a waste of space in my cabinets when I could have an active file system for stuff that is sitting out in my office. (I was working on a second masters, the one that is more interesting to me now, so that stuff will stay put. Maybe one day I'll go on for the Ph.D.) I'm doing some culling tonight, filling a 12" x 12" x 12" box to fill then take over to the recycle bin behind city hall. A couple of those a day and I can start putting work stuff away instead of letting it lie around and get buried.
