Accumulation

"I can see my lifetime piling up", by Melissa Mesku.

I don't rent a storage unit. Thankfully, for reasons that discussing would require an invasion of others' privacy, I haven't had to cross that river yet. But someday, I'll have to. And questions I don't want to hear or ask will crop up again.

I have an excuse for the accumulation, several excuses in fact. You've all read about several of them over the years. But I wonder how well they really hold up from time to time, and more often as I keep aging.

I put all my paper through a Fujitsu ScanSnap duplex scanner. Took about one evening for each box. Instead of dusty boxes, all my old files are now easily accessible from my computer, in searchable PDF format. Still haven't read the old files. but they're there if I need them. And my room is a lot less crowded.
