The Grey Binder and the Accordion File

No way were we going out today in this cold, and since I tend not to do well with enforced inactivity I decided this was the day to tackle my semi-annual filing of all my and Robin's medical papers. It's about 75% prescription receipts, which I guess I don't need to keep but I do anyway (at least going back to the beginning of last year), and took remarkably less time than I'd budgeted. While I was in organizing mode, I filed away the paperwork concerning Mom's estate, death certificates and the like in a grey ring binder that holds the listing of all their assets as of whenever they both gave it to me so I'm sure it's about a quarter century out of date. Everything gets out of date if one lives long enough, I suppose. But I'm still  here and determined to stay at least through this next storm...
