busyness_as_usualI got all the boxes sorted in the cabin and then filled it back up with more stuff to go through.
I'm a bit torn about this backgammon set I found. I like playing it. I love the weight of the pieces in the set. But the case...oh gourd. It was covered in what looked like some sort of awful mildew. And I cleaned that off but in the process...it took off a lot of the fake leather coating. And even worse, started smelling like cat pee. It's just awful. I'd like to throw out the case and get a new case but the set belonged to my grandfather and I feel kind of bad tossing it. But I don't want to play the game smelling _cat pee_ so I don't see much of a choice.
I think I'll get a new set, put in the old tokens and dice and toss the old stinky case. Then I'll still have part of grandpa's set and a nice new case that doesn't smell bad.
Other things I discovered while cleaning out three rolling underbed totes...trading cards for the local fire department from like...1998. I also pretty much emptied an entire tote out because it was just chock full of old used up puzzle books! I also finally threw out my old high school Spanish homework.
Goodness. I don't think I'll ever need that. I kept my Spanish/English dictionary and my school handbooks from 1998 and 2001. Just because they listed all the faculty and stuff. I like to look back every once in a while and go "Ah, that was a nice teacher. I miss them."
