Wow I feel a lot lighter now. Went through all of last years papers and have now I have room for next years.

I have to write all the birthdays and other important dates on my new desk calendar and I will be set.

Just did the calendar.

My ds is getting married and moving out this July and I want to get in his room and take it over. I know that sounds bad but he was gone for part of college and I had the room to do what I wanted. He has a storage unit he said was full, but the other day I went there and its not, so now even more I would love to get some of the stuff he is not using to go into the unit. He also works there so it is no problem for him to get access to it.

Really just old books, maybe he does not even want anymore. Old things he has collected over the years that probably won't go into their first place.

He thinks I am gong to cry like baby when he gets married and moves out. A tear or two.

It can get overwhelming for sure. For me since I am the one who does the bills, and all medical insurance stuff, ect. My desk has on both sides one file drawer each. On one side are all the bills, mort, utilities, car insurance, credit cards ect... each has it own folder. It get emptied each year.

On the other side is medical reciepts, Tax papers, credit monitoring papers.

As for dh desk and file cabinet he is on his own. I would not even know where to start and I am not going to. His desk and file cabinet are in a different room and I don't even bother with it.

You got it! He won't be moving far anyway. He wants out of the house too so there won't be any tears on his side for sure.

There you go, you have a plan of attack. It feels good to have eveything cleared out to start the new year.
