Friday Report

[adair]

I started reducing my 4-drawer file to one for in the house, but I started with the top drawer which has my personal files, including one big letter file. This needed to be sorted, which took time, and I ended up reading the letters from my mother during my first 2 years at college - 1964-1965-1966 - when I was apparently distressed at adjusting to social and financial situations. I seem to have written complaints a lot, and my mother replied in some detail. All this reading of old letters slowed progress in file sorting, and I have not yet made it to the two important drawers of current records.

Since the local climate has finally made it to reasonably warm weather I could at last sort the clothes in the bedroom closet and exchange seasons. I also took the time to try to reduce what I kept. The closet is still stuffed with summer clothes, but there is a pile of mostly white shirts that looks to be about a foot high that will be donated somewhere soon. Some of those shirts have been around for several years, and 2 of them still have tags - I never wore them.
