Dec. 24th, 2017 11:50 pmIf nothing else, finding the certificate of title for my old car forced me to finally do something that I’d been dreading for a long time - go through The Box™ and sort all the paperwork buried within.
There was a 4 1/2-year period of time where instead of keeping my records neatly sorted out, I got really lazy and just threw everything into a box in the corner of my room. At some point I realized this would probably be a nightmare if I ever had to find anything that I needed from this 4 1/2 year period, so I started organizing my paperwork again. Except that I left what was in The Box™ to sit there, kind of hoping I would never actually need anything from within. So I dumped the contents of The Box™ out onto my bed, and proceeded to spend the next four hours sorting the old records and receipts by year.
Sure enough, just as I was almost finished sorting the pile of paperwork, the certificate of title that I was looking for turned up. I was able to send that off to my insurance, so they can pay me for the remainder of the value of my car.
And in the meantime, since all of my paperwork is now sorted, I can properly file it.
Go me!
In other words, wishing all that celebrate a merry Christmas. The first of two back-to-back parties was today, The relatives were tamer than usual, which was a plus. Hopefully it stays that way through tomorrow, too.
