When the going gets tough...

...the tough clean out a drawer.

I'm having a tough couple of days for no particular, serious reason other than just the ordinary aggravating kind of things that happen sometimes to everybody, and being on my own to deal with them while Mr. Dub is away on business.

You might remember that when I'm feeling down in the dumps and sick of the world that cleaning out drawers or closets helps me refocus my attitude and cheer up a bit.

Yesterday I began to suspect that a cleaning jag would be necessary. And when the desk drawer where I keep my bill-paying stuff wouldn't open this morning because of all the junk in it, I knew immediately which drawer was getting tackled.

I'm not completely finished yet - there are still some things to put in the long-term file box - but I've de-stapled and shredded and thrown away and organized until I'm in a much better mood.

There is no "before" pic, but here's the clean and easy-to-get-along-with "after"!
