Something got me going today. Morgan and I went out for lunch and a drive. Normally that would do me in and we'd come home to do quiet stuff. I might even lie down for a bit. Today, I felt like going through more stuff, so he helped me get some bins out of the office closet. He shredded papers as I handed them over, then moved the bins around. I was able to empty one bin, load a basket with small ebay stuff and consolidate some other stuff into one bin, so it feels quite productive even though the closet still looks full.:-)

Didn't know I had it in me and we found some fun stuff. He'd been wanting me to find a folding paper fan so he could play ninja. I didn't make any special effort to find it, but knew it probably was in that closet. Sure enough, we found it, so he practised flipping it open. Also found some old family photos in an album my grandmother or mom set up. I'll have to scan those in. Also found a cloth doll my grandmother made for my dad's cousin's daughter back in the 1940s. It was put away when it was made, so it's in great shape. My dad's cousin gave it to me when she moved. I don't really want it and have no granddaughters, so not sure what I will do with it.

It feels good to be back in the swing of things.
