The Ultimate Junk Box

You know when you put an item in a specific location because you just know that is the best place for it. You know you'll always remember where it is because of course it seems the most logical home.

Well - that happened to me 2 months ago with my cell phone charger... only I couldn't find it. My cell phone battery died (because I can never remember to turn it off... ever!) and the charger was nowhere to be found.

I cleaned out the two desk drawers and it wasn't there.

So today I became serious in my search. We have a box that became the ultimate junk box... like I think every junk drawer plus all the odds and ends moving junk ended up in that box.

So this morning bright and early I had Hannah and Abe help me dump everything out and sort through it all. Much headed to the garbage and the rest ended up in ziplock bags.

Did I find the cell phone charger? NO. It wasn't in there.

But later this afternoon when I was on the phone, I remembered where I had put the charger. Ta-da!!! It was in a different box which was where everything ended up when I dumped my papers from the counter into it. I had gone through it all and just left a few small items in it. Sigh... what am I to do with my forgetful brain? Can we move already so I can sort through everything and get my home and brain functional again?
